Customer's reviews

I booked with Sean for my daughter’s theater headshots. It was easy to book my appointment online and he had a great special that was $69 for the session and one image. We were running late and he was super gracious about it. He has a very professional and comfortable photography studio in his basement with a separate room for changing etc and really impressive equipment. In about a half an hour, he took so many amazing shots of my daughter that I ended up buying two extra. He was so, so knowledgeable. He told her how to stand, how to move her head, had her do mouth exercises to relax her smile, pinned her shirt and hair to make it look best and importantly made her super comfortable. Her sent me the amazing images within 24 hours as promised. I’d use him for anything - he is wonderful. ~ Courtney
Our experience with Sean was exceptional from start to finish. From our very first conversation, he was kind, professional, and easy to connect with. Each interaction felt comfortable and natural, and his calm, confident presence made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. Throughout both our engagement session and wedding day, Sean and Brandon offered thoughtful suggestions, reassured us whenever we felt uncertain, and captured every special moment with care and creativity. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine passion for their work were evident in every photo. We are so grateful for them and for the beautiful memories they preserved for us. Our photos perfectly reflect the joy and emotion of our day, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team to document such meaningful moments in our lives. ~ Jessica T
Getting married during a pandemic was interesting to say the least, but having Sean as our photographer truly made a difference. From making sure our engagement session was everything we wanted, even when we were delayed by stay at home orders, to bearing with us when our whole day changed due to our reception venue canceling a month out. He even went the extra mile to help us search for another venue. When you hire Sean you definitely get more than just an amazing photographer. His photography is so creative, he tries to make everything individualized, and his products reflect the upmost quality. Everything Sean delivers is unique and genuine. We loved working with him, and hope to work with him again in the future. -The Littles ~ Morgan L
