Tim is everything you could want in a photographer! Not only is he extremely talented, but he also is responsive to questions, clear in his fee structure, and friendly & engaging during your session. We were lucky to book with him for my son's senior portraits - which my son was not really looking forward to! We ended the outdoor shoot with my son saying how much he enjoyed it and how glad he was that Tim was our photographer. Highly recommend!
