How did you get started in this business?
My Dream of becoming a Professional Photographer became Real, when my Fiancé saw a Talent in me, that perhaps, I did not recognize in myself.
So we plotted our course & began exploring Business names over Breakfast in "Cindy's Diner" in North Scituate, RI. We came up with a list of 10 Business names, then I asked our Waitress, what she thought of "FinestFotos" which I had chosen; her response was: "I love it"; that is how FinestFotos came to be.
Shortly thereafter, I moved to McKinney, TX to begin operations. The rest is history!
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with many Commercial Businesses, The McKinney Chamber of Commerce, Morning Pride Lions Club, Texas Revolution Indoor Football League, etc
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
My Recent Headhot Photoshoot with my Client, Ross Mesquita, said he needed to have Executive Headshots with a White or Cream-colored background; I did not have one, so my Fiancé manufactured one that was perfect to his Satisfaction; he wrote me the Best Testimonial which said: On 5/7/ 2021 he wrote:
"Having joined a new company recently, I needed to get an updated Headshot photo. Rick Barber was very responsive and accommodating, and he made the entire process go smoothly with constant communication and support. He was very focused on providing outstanding Customer service, and the Headshots turned out great too! I would recommend him without hesitation for anyone needing a professional Headshots".
