Jason also chose a beautiful location that perfectly captured the Scottish-inspired atmosphere we were hoping for. Our photos turned out beautifully, and we couldn’t be happier with the results!
We truly appreciate the care and effort he put into making this such a special experience for our family. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and patient photographer!

We had an amazing experience with Jason! From the start, he was super friendly and easy to work with, which made an unfamiliar process much more simple.
On the day of the shoot, Jason arrived with a big smile and tons of energy. He was incredibly flexible, going with the flow and making sure our little one was comfy. Every shot he took perfectly showed off our baby’s personality.
We also loved that Jason was willing to travel all the way from Marin to San Francisco. It made everything easier, and being able to do the shoot at home felt cozy and relaxed.
Overall, we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. If you’re looking for someone to take beautiful family photos, we definitely recommend Jason.

We are so happy with Jason and the photo he took for our daughter's first birthday. We decided last minute that we wanted professional photographs and Jason was very proactive, flexible, and communicative in figuring out when to shoot. When you are constrained by a nap schedule and toddler sibling this really made a big difference. The photos themselves came out so beautiful and I can't wait to print a few out. We hope to now use him each year to get a family photo. Highly recommend Jason!

Jason was great at our medical writers conference, organizing group and individual photos with ease. He made sure everyone was seen and included in the group photo, and I loved the variety of poses he suggested to give it a fresh feel. Despite my unruly hair, he made the process relaxed, cracking jokes along the way. The final touch-ups were spot on - as was his attention to detail. He took time to double check names and connect with each of the conference attendees. Thanks for the professional pics!
