About
I am patient with my clients. I take posed and candid pictures. This way you get alot more photgraphs. I am not as expensive as other photographers. I will travel to you. I have been doing this for over 15 years for friends and family decided to go semi-pro. Pros cost more than I. My turn around time is less then 7 days. I provide a USB drive, to all clients of the good and the off center pictures. The off center ones you normally don't Iget like someone having there eyes closed or looking in another direction. I upload pictures to a website we agree upon, so then you can decide how many pictures and what sizes you want.
I enjoy making memories for people. I used to do it for free when I was in the Army Reserves, now I do it to help people and make some money for me also.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I try to find out the date, and location of the event. What is the budget and time of event. I am slow with new people and do not rush the photograph session.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been doing it a long time. I hope my work speaks for itself.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
I try to be fair, mostly its about 100.00 per hour, but sometimes I am flexible.
How did you get started in this business?
I got started in business, because people I knew didn't have cameras and some people take pictures with there camera phones, but if you blow them up, they are grainy, so I decide to be THAT photographer for them. Also I have taken MANY, MANY, pictures of events for the military for the past 15 years...so since I am retired I decided to continue on my own.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with Couples, Families, children, pets, and infants, and toddlers.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I was very fond of the session I did in the DC area around the Lincoln Memorial with a family and there dog.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
If you are looking for a pro, sure they will give you a quote, and it might be expensive, but how many pictures will you get FOR that amount of money. Do they take candid shots or just posed shots.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
1. How many pictures do they think they will receive?
2. How soon, will I see the pictures?
3. Will I be able to see them on line?
4. Can I get a USB of the pictures so I can print them myself later?
