Testimonials

Happy family posing for a picture "Chad's ability behind the lens is sharply honed. Chad was well-organized, professional, and a lot of fun to work with.  His creative use of a location was great as he captured unique shots in seemingly ordinary places. Our son, who can be difficult to photograph at times, really cooperated and had fun with him. He is very personable and obviously took great pride in his photographs. We were very impressed when we received our images. Chad has an eye for great composition and is undoubtedly an artist. We'd love to have him photograph us again when we're in the area."
