Stephen is amazing. We contacted him to document our family gathering (finally seeing family after almost two years!) and from the very first response I was so happy to have contacted him. He was very thoughtful planning the shoot and came super prepared the day of. He was able to keep our chaotic family happy, engaged and coordinated and went over and beyond making us feel at ease and getting the kids to enjoy the photo session. The photos came our fantastic and we would book him again without hesitation.
Stephen, thank you for an amazing documentation of our family's time together of what

I was so impressed with Stephen's professionalism: he made quick, informative, and clear responses to my initial query and ensuing correspondence, he made himself available as soon as he could, and had a super-quick turn around with really lovely headshots I'm excited to use as author photos. Plus he's got a lovely manner and is great to work with. I'm excited to have him take our family portraits this spring and highly recommend him.
