The Mission to Meet Your Vision    

You're in the right place if you want high quality images! I don't just shoot and then send off the pics to be printed. I spend time on the lighting quality and composition of each before and after the shoot. My specialty is customizing photos that are unique beyond tradition. See samples within this gallery to get an idea...

The following lists general services and costs. As there are many variables for what makes up a photo shoot, you'll always get a consultation, estimate, and plan. My goal is to exceed your expectations.

   You'll View and Order Pics via Your Own Private Gallery
Photos shoots are all digital -- giving you the opportunity to quickly view and order photos on-line. I'll provide you with a link and password so your family and friends can order from a central location without the need for contact sheets or hardcopy proofs. Ordered photos are shipped for a nominal fee right to your door. And you're not limited to just buying pics -- order your photos on keychains, mugs puzzles, even a chef's apron to display at the barbecue!

The on-line photo service that hosts my galleries, Smug Mug, does require your phone number as part of the on-line ordering process. I contacted Smug Mug's management about this. They assure me phone numbers are not given to marketing companies but may be used if the photo lab has questions or concerns about the way a photo or merchandise may look when produced. All in your best interest. Smug Mug does not share any of your information, is very anti-spam and you'll not see advertising :)
