  • Family Portraits Review

    Steve worked with us to help us achieve our goal of getting some outdoor family photos. He was punctual, found us a great location by a nearby river, put us at ease, and took some awesome photos despite wind and a bit of rain. He was easy to communicate with, and delivered as promised. He even got into the water (in November!) to help us get a few shots of our son on the rocks in the river. He was also kind, considerate, and even thought to let our son be the lighting assistant for a few photos, which went a long way toward holding a teenager’s interest. We are very appreciative of Steve’s professional handling of our photo session and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a professional photographer

    Family Portraits in Studio

    As a family of 5 with a 7 year old and 4 year old twins we didn't;t quite know what to expect when we went in to do our family portrait. We hd every expectation that it could go poorly with one or more of the kids. We were blown away by Steve and his wife. They were able to get the kids to smile if we couldn’t, or to sit if we couldn’t, all while setting up great shots.

    Steve was great at moving to different spaces as determined by one of our youngest who was having a hard time sitting still. We didn't’t feel rushed at all to get the shots that we needed, and Steve made sure that we happy with each shot. We are so pleased with the pictures we have that we can’t wait to go back for more.

The number one answer I get from my family portrait clients, when I ask them how did you find me is, I looked for a photographer near me. The number one question I get asked from my clients is how does a family portraits session work?

It’s simple. We meet at a designated area near Frederick. I can suggest quite a few, such as Baker Park, or a special trail I like about 15 minutes away. My assistant and I meet you and get to know all of you for a few minutes before we begin shooting. I’ve found that talking about your session makes the photo shoot go smoother, especially for the younger ones.

Connecting is what makes getting your photos taken turn out better. I will direct you on how to pose, so that we show emotion, and capture your unique personality. But, I also like to get some National Geographic looking photography with GQ poses where the men put their hands in their pockets, and separate their feet. I have the woman turn at an angle to me.

Don’t worry about how the shoot will go. With 20+ years of photography experience I will guide you through the session to preserve your important family memories.
