Went to the Magical Castle Event. He really captured the magic of my family and super fast. He was able to really nail who we all were, and bring us out in the best light possible. Amazingly lighting and amazing way of capturing children and babies. I look forward to hiring this studio for xmas shots for our family cards :)

I just had my headshot taken at LightFlex Studios for our corporate website, and John was outstanding. I’m not someone who’s comfortable in front of a camera, but he put me at ease right away. The whole session felt like a great conversation rather than a photo shoot, and the results were fantastic.

If John is this good with a corporate headshot, I can only imagine how amazing he’d be with portraits or any other photography project. Whenever my company or I need a photographer again, John at LightFlex Studios will be our first call. Highly recommended!
