hey! i’m brian,
I’m a sushi loving, scenery staring, sometimes overthinking, Office quoting, storm chasing, pickleball playing, music making, Jesus worshipping, husband and father. Life is full of adventure and little details, and that’s exactly what inspires me behind the camera.
Now besides loving photography, I also love my virtuous wife and our growing family. My favorite food is sushi with lots of unagi sauce and two of my favorite shows that never get old are The Office and Friends. I enjoy singing, song writing, leading worship, or even just picking up my guitar or mandolin and jamming out. Immediately after I got married my wife and I packed everything we had and spent 4 years overseas in Europe. During our 4 year military tour in Germany, I fell in love with the scenery and loved capturing and sharing my beautiful landscapes with everyone. I'm a big fan of wide open landscapes, country life, mountains, starry night skies with the milky way in plain sight, and God's amazing creation.
what to expect
Before anyone decides to invest in my services I always want to make sure that there is nothing left to interpretation or guessing. Here is what you can expect when working with a full service photographer, print artist, and family archivist.
Consultation Meeting
We discuss the purpose, as well as goals for your photos. Then we will go over the specifics like where and when it will take place and who will be present. Following that I will bring out samples to be seen and held in person. I go over the features of each sample and how much they cost. Then I will take any additional notes about the session like photo requests and/or if any samples received interest. I take a little bit of time to mention all of my services that I offer. One of those services is if you love the product samples I showed you so much, you have the ability to take past images you may have had captured and get those printed in the same archival quality products I bring to the table, so that everything in your home lasts and matches. Finally we end with a contract for signing and once signed, I collect my booking fee. Now you are booked!
Photo session
We meet at the determined time and location with everyone ready to have their photos taken. As we begin to explore the area and capture photos along the way, I will go through any previously requested photos or groupings and be sure to capture them first. Of course all the while having a lot of fun :)
Once our time is up or our overall goals for the shoot have been met, we will make our way back and leave.
reveal / ordering appointment
About 2-3 weeks after the photo session, we will meet again and I will have a beautiful slideshow with music ready for viewing. Once the slideshow is over, we will go through and begin selecting your favorite photos. After that we will discuss how you want to print your favorites, their sizes, and where they will go or if you decide to purchase them as digitals instead too. For wall art and albums, I can create mock-ups to help visualize how they’ll look in their desired locations or final form. A shareable online gallery of the session will be available after the first order is placed.
Clients will receive discounted or complimentary high-res digital copies of everything, including the slideshow, once their order reaches a certain amount. After payment is received, the order is then placed.
delivery day!
When your prints arrive, I inspect and double check them before packing them up and hand delivering them to your home. If you ordered wall art, I give you the option of hanging it yourselves, otherwise I will install it for you. The online gallery is available for an entire year so you or other family can order anything else in the near future. Any future orders outside of the local area I serve in will be drop-shipped to the provided address, but any additional local orders will be hand delivered by myself.
