Introduction
I have three goals when it comes to this company:
1. With my experience, I strive to be the most affordable professional photographer in the Spokane/Coeur d'Alene area. I wont charge more for your photos. I wont nickel and dime my clients when it comes to creating lasting memorable photographs.
2. Deliver high quality images with an emphasis on detail and character. Your time is valuable, so why not make it unforgettably fun.
3. To find joy in the moment, and bring out authentic emotional expressions throughout my sessions. The customers experience goes beyond the delivery of their photos.

Chris took some headshots at my office for our website and did a great job. He showed up on time, brought extra equipment for the best possible lighting, and took great photos. It took less than an hour to shoot 12 people and he got all the photos back to me within a week. Highly recommend him!

Chris was not only professional and courteous but we had a blast with him. I don’t know how many times I’ve had pro photos taken and it’s been stuffy, boring, more like going to a too short doctor appointment, and it always shows in the photos. With Chris, we had fun, he made us laugh and feel comfortable, and he was quick so, although he took plenty of shots, it was a breeze. It’s nice that his rates are low but I really think he should charge more. I highly recommend and will absolutely use his services again.
Details: Professional / business • Outdoors • 2 - 5 people • No outfit changes • Digital or online download • At the pro’s location

Chris did an amazing job on our photos! They all came out to be stunning. We did a family photo shoot with 9 of us in total. Three couples, one with a baby, and my mother and uncle. We initially booked for an hour shoot but Chris' vision was prepared and clear, it only took us 30mins for us to have everything we wanted and wrap up! Chris was definitely great and if we are ever in Spokane needing photos again, I will be booking him.
Details: Family or children's portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

I was in a panic and looking for someone with quality over quantity which is exactly what Chris gave us! In 30 minutes he captured our relationship with a breeze and got me in within a few days notice. He makes you feel like you’ve known him for years and gives you that confidence you didn’t know you had! I would work with him many more times to come. Just an amazing photographer and go grateful with his amazing work and turn around time!

I absolutely loved working with the two of you and couldn't be happier for you finding your person. I know you guys are moving but if you ever come back into town hit me up so we can get out and capture some more moments for you. Take care and enjoy Reno!!!
