Rob was amazing to work with for my shoot! Extremely talented and professional, but also makes you feel comfortable in your own skin. This was my first headshot shoot and initially I was nervous, but then we started talking and he made me feel like we’ve done this a hundred times before. And once he showed me the first round of photos we had done together I was practically jumping for joy because of how amazing they turned out. I will definitely work with him again when I need to update my pics when the time comes.

Rob is so professional and always early to our events! He’s now our go-to photographer for all corporate events and headshot needs! It’s worth noting that he’s taken my favorite headshot so far (and I hate having my photo taken) and our other employees have had only positive things to say about their photos as well! It’s a great experience working with Rob from start to finish!
