Don is an incredible photographer with an amazing vision! He makes you very comfortable and assists in poses if you are new to the game and he knows his stuff when it comes to photography styles and the industry. He took my model development photos and I got to sneak peek some before editing and they looked amazing! I definitely will be working with him again!

A fantastic photographer! Enjoyed talking and working with him from the first minute! Very professional, fast, great listener and easy going. Made us feel very comfortable throughout the whole maternity photo-session experience. Understood very well our artistic nude photos requests, adjusted perfectly the background lights and contrast and most importantly delivered what we’ve asked and wanted. Has a great and comfy studio. Great photo-shots and value, will definitely come back!

Details: Maternity portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Photo studio • Flash drive • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

I needed to get a new headshot for my LinkedIn profile. I decided to go with Don since he was very responsive and helpful. I ended up having to reschedule and he handled the change of plans professionally. He is a great photographer and helped me get the right look. I would recommend using him and I will use him again for any photography needs.

I absolutely LOVED working with don! I came into the studio extremely nervous because I am trying to get into modeling more and didn’t really know what I was doing and don gave me so much advice and inspiration I left the studio beaming! He taught me so much all within an hour and I am so grateful for the information he’s given me along with the work he put into my pictures. They are so amazing!!
