Hierographic Photography & Designs, LLC
About
As a former football player, I learned discipline and how to focus my efforts and energy toward a common goal along with my teammates. I believe in order to create great images for my clients, I have to have the same mentality and follow the processes as an athlete trying to help their team win. I have to work out during the offseason to improve your skill sets. I have to have a common bond with teammates (clients). I develop a game plan to achieve my client’s goal(s). I also have to communicate with my teammates to execute that said game plan. And most importantly I do my absolute best and leave it all on the field for my clients.
I no longer actually play football but I a different game these days. The game of PHOTOGRAPHY, and my goals are still the same: to WIN and produce the best possible images that I can to tell my client’s story.
I love being able to present people, places, and things in their best possible light. But the most important thing is getting up daily to do what I love while meeting and working with so many different people.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My first interaction with a client is usually over the phone or via email. I try to get a face-to-face or zoom meeting with them these days to discuss the details of the project that they want to hire me for. Once we have gone through the details and gotten to know one another a little bit, I prepare an estimate for them. After the client has accepted the bid we begin planning how to execute the project.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
Most jobs are based on a bidding system. The price of a job may vary depending on the clients' wants and needs, the cost to produce it, the number of images needed, and how they will be used.
How did you get started in this business?
I have always played around with the camera. I started taking photos professionally while I was a graphic designer working with a promoter who needed images for his marketing collateral.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Over my years I have worked with all kinds of people, shooting everything from weddings, family, and senior portraits, to products. Nowadays, most of my work is with small business owners and athletes.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
I would tell a person looking for a Pro to not be overly concerned with the price but to fall in love with the work of the photographer than with the photographer (not literally, but hopefully you like them as a person). Price can be negotiated, good work and character can't.
