I bought a family photo shoot from my wife as a birthday present. It was a last minute birthday gift as I did not know what to get her. I found his website from a google search and I am glad I did.
It was easy to pay for a session on-​line. Then I printed a copy of his homepage and put it in a birthday card. The next day I got a call from Brian saying he had received payment for a family session. He then asked me what I was looking for. We decided on going to Look Park for the shoot as we like the outdoors; we got married there too so it was fitting.
We made an appointment to meet at the park at noon. My family and I arrived at the garden house parking lot at 11:50. Brian drove into the lot at 11:52; he had already driven around the park to scope out some places that would make for good pictures. He was very punctual. We brought a few of our son’s favorite stuffed toys and a blanket. Brian opened his trunk and surprised us with a set of balloons and a cute wooden chair for him to sit it. That was cool.
We made the plan of parking by the visitors center and we would walk the loop of the park and take pictures as we go. You can see our photos on his website (

Brian is very laid back and go with the flow kind of guy. We experienced no stress and no pressure with the photo shoot. We did not want a lot of posed pictures; we wanted more casual and laid back ones. Brian was very good at giving us that little bit of direction that made the photos look so much better. He listened to what we wanted and he helped us get exactly what we wanted.
He seemed very knowledgeable about photography. I don’t know much about photography, but he would explain to us the different lighting of the sun and knew what scenes made the best pictures.
Brian was fun to work with, easy to communicate with (email, over the phone and in person) and he knew what he was doing.
We really love his website. All the photos are available for everyone to see and you can buy all sorts of things with the pictures on them (prints of all sizes, coffee mugs, cards, shirts, stamps etc.) I highly recommend Brian for your photo needs.
