Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction
Anyone can take a picture, so what sets me apart from anyone else? Why should you hire me over a cheaper photographer? Let me answer those questions through describing my process in which I capture the most amazing photographs. I don’t just want you to hire me as your photographer. I want you to hire me as your visual storyteller. Through listening to your story I am able to understand who you are so I can better tell your story through my photography. I look forward to getting to know you, your partner, and/or your family. Listening to your story is just the start of the relationship I love to have with my clients. When I get to know my customers more as friends then clients then I can put them at the center of their life story through the images I create. I strive to surpass my client's expectations with a process that is engaging and fun for everyone. Lastly, I love how my work allows me to create unique memories from a shared perspective of your narrative and my life experiences. I look forward to meeting you and always welcome any questions you might have!

Brian took some photos of my boyfriend and me a few months back. It was such a great experience and Brian made us feel so comfortable. We weren’t rushed at all and he made sure to get all the shots we wanted. Highly recommend Brian for all of your photo needs!

Brian is a super amazing photographer! Very professional and charming. He is super relaxed and fun to work with. Made me feel super comfortable during my shoot. His photos come out amazing. I felt beautiful and sexy with my photos. They were edited amazingly. Weren't too crazy with the edits but just right.

FAQs

    We will talk over the phone and email to setup some basics prior to the shoot. Then on the day of the shoot I will provide a hair and makeup person. During that time I will conduct a preshoot interview to get on the same page with my model(s) and what they hope to capture in the pictures while also explaining my tentative plan for the shoot.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    classically trained in film from classes in high school through college. Numerous classes in digital photography while pursuing a degree in communication studies.

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    also taking pictures since I was 13
