I've been fortunate enough to photograph a space capsule coming out of the sky and a heart coming out of a guy (on purpose). I love that my work takes me into people's worlds, capturing their workplace or happy space. In pursuit of imagery I've partnered with clients such as Essentia Water, BNSF Railway, SpaceX and Canon, earning recognition from Communication Arts, APA & ASMP nationally along the way. I also work in motion, creating complete stories for an array of clients. When not on the road for work, I like to wander on my Harley Sturgis, joined by my favorite riding partner on her Indian, (neither of us ride bitch): my wife/producer Pat

I am a photographer that wants to connect with the client & create a special moment. I believe everyone deserves to feel beautiful and their best, because everyone is a “super model.” Sometimes the best shot is found by the most unique perspective, if only you’re willing to look at things from different angles. I prefer “in the moment” photography to “staged” because those will be the pictures that mean more to the clients when they look back on them. I have experience in runway (high fashion), portraits, newborn, headshots, aerial, business portraits, pet photography and more. I have been working as a photographer since 2006. I actually s

It’s very important to me to establish a connection with each person I photograph because when my clients feel natural and relaxed their images will have that vibrant spark which cannot be manufactured. Your treasured images deserve nothing less than that! Creating an image or vido...

Hi, My name is Alexander and I am from Seattle. I am a father, husband, and artist. The camera is my paintbrush; with it, I am able to paint scenes filled with smiles, happiness, laughter, and joy. I first fell in love with photography when I was a young boy. My father always had a disposable camera lying around, which sparked my interest in photography. In high school, I went through numerous digital cameras until, with help from my mom, I was finally able to afford my first professional DSLR. Since then, I never looked back; I started small, taking pictures of family members and friends. I grew to corporate events and my favorite events, we

Your photography questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Fash.

How much does a photographer cost?

The average cost to hire a photographer is $100 to $250 per hour, depending on their experience. However, photography prices vary significantly depending on the type of event or photo session:

Do you tip photographers?

The standard tipping etiquette for photographers depends on the type of photo session or event and how happy you are with the photographer's service:

  • Tip a wedding photographer $50 to $200 if the photographer exceeds your expectations. If the photographer works with a second shooter, be sure to tip the second photographer separately.
  • Consider tipping a family portrait photographer, pet photographer, or newborn photographer if you're happy with the photo session. However, tipping is not expected for family portraits taken at a big box store like JC Penney or Wal-Mart.
  • Tipping a photographer is not expected for headshots, commercial photography, real estate photography, or architectural photos.

If you're happy with the photographer's service, post a positive review online and share their photos on your social media.

How can I save money on a photographer?

Follow these tips to save money when you hire a photographer:

  • Book a "mini-session" – a shorter photo session that lasts only 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Choose your favorite photographers and follow them on social media. Some photographers may provide deals and exclusive offers.
  • Hire a less experienced photographer. However, be sure to review their portfolio to confirm they have enough skill to meet your photo needs.
  • Purchase prints from an online retailer instead of ordering them from the photographer.
  • Bundle multiple photo sessions for a discounted price. Some wedding photographers bundle engagement and wedding photos. Other photographers offer a bundle for newborn photos plus additional sessions as your child grows.

How far in advance should I book a photographer?

Book a wedding photographer as early as possible, ideally as soon as you've confirmed the date with your venue. Headshot, commercial, pet, and family portrait photographers typically don't require as much advanced notice. However, a popular, in-demand photographer may be booked out several months in advance.

How can I find the best photographer near me?

Follow these guidelines when searching for a photographer to ensure you find one who is the best match for you:

  • Look for photographers who specialize in the type of photography you want. A photographer who specializes in weddings won't be the best choice for a newborn baby photo shoot, and vice versa.
  • Review their online portfolios to confirm you like their photography style and aesthetic.
  • Read photographer reviews on Fash and Google.
  • Get a contract in writing before making a deposit.
  • Discuss the photo usage and printing rights to confirm how both you and the photographer can use the images. Photographers typically retain the copyright to the images, allowing them to use the photos for marketing and social media.

What questions should I ask a photographer?

Ask these questions to help you choose the best photographer for your needs:

  • How long have you been in business?
  • What type of photography do you specialize in?
  • What is your photography style?
  • Do you have an online portfolio I can view?
  • How far in advance should I book my photo shoot?
  • What deposit do you require, and is it refundable?
  • Do you have a photo studio? If not, where will you take the photos?
  • What should I do to prepare for the photo session?
  • How will you deliver the final photos to me?
  • How long will it take to get the photos?
  • Do you offer printed items or photo albums?
  • Who owns the rights to the photos?
  • Will you use my images on social media or your website portfolio?

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness As newbies to the whole couple photography process, we were a bit nervous. But Will made the experience easy, fun, and inspiring. And most importantly, we loved how these photos turned out. Due to the COVID travel restrictions, many family and friends couldn’t join us. These photos helped capture the special moments and tell the story for us in a much more vivid way.
