Paxton Portraits did a great job with my son, who is usually nervous in front of cameras. He is very professional. He was on time and we got the proofs very quickly. I highly recommend him for senior portraits and any other photography needs.

Steve does an excellent job. He works well with students for their senior portraits. He is very knowledgeable in proper clothing and backdrops to make the pictures come to life. I recommend him with 5 plus stars.

We scheduled our son's Senior Portraits with Paxton Portraits. Steve was absolutely amazing with our 17 year old son. The process from start to finish was so smooth. All of the photos turned out so beautiful. He gave us over 200 photos to choose from. I would highly recommend Steve Paxton Portraits to everyone. Amazing, amazing amazing!

We chose Paxton Portraits to do our son's Senior Photos. What a great experience! Steve Paxton had excellent suggestions on locations to take the photos. We chose the Evergreen Arboretum & Gardens, close to home and absolutely beautiful. Steve had a great report with my son and gave easy to follow directions. Definitely enormous bang for your buck, as we had SO many excellent shots to choose from. I wouldn't hesitate to refer my family and friends!
