I specialize in off camera dramtic lighting!
While many of my photos start with a pose, often times, a candid moment occurs with the subject(s) and I'm always there to capture those moments when you think no one is watching.
I find that getting my subjects to act silly in front of the camera is one of the best ways to help them loosen up!
Creative and fun wedding portraits is something I strive to provide every bride and groom as a way to help make your day as special as possible.
I try to have fun at every event I shoot, I feel that's the best way to help my subjects loosen up in front of the camera so I can promise natural smiles!
I'm always ready to get some great, fun and candid images!
I love to look for those little shots that no other photographer would think to capture
"If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life?" I feel truly blessed that I get to live the dream every day of my life!
With 15 years of experience in portraits, weddings and special events, I guarantee you'll receive the best professional photography at an affordable price. It's my firm belief, great customer service should accompany a quality product, which is why I'll not only make your session fun and enjoyable but I will also work with you to customize your session to your needs. I'm great with kids and have a high energy level to help keep them engaged in the session! I promise you will be eager and proud to show your photos to your family and friends.

August 29, 2021We hired Bill for our Gatsby Party and he was wonderful. He had subtle lighting props set up outside to capture the guests and perfectly. He was also working in 90 degree heat and didn’t stop moving the whole time.
He wasn’t a photographer that disrupted your event and made you stop for photos every five minutes. He just went with the flow and got natural photos of guests and the ambiance (I didn’t want staged photos - I’m sure he can do this, but I liked how you didn’t feel like you were being followed around at all.)
He was completely mindful of the times for every performer and the type of lighting needed to capture firedancers at night versus guests at sunset. He was very friendly and accommodated any ideas we had for photos. I would definitely hire him again.

February 9, 2021I had a great experience with Bill while shooting and got exactly what I was looking to achieve with the completed headshot. Bill was ready to go and has a nice, comfortable set-up for headshot photography. His post-shoot, online gallery was excellent and very easy to navigate. My proofs posted right after the shoot, with the shot I selected cleaned up and posted the very next day! An outstanding experience from beginning to end.

November 30, 2020We went with Dabo's due to his promptness, price point, and amazing communication. We received our engagement photos quickly, and he was very accommodating for our last minute booking. We would have loved some more coaching on best angles, so make sure to go in with some ideas ahead of time of how to "capture your good side." Thanks, Dabo's!

I am a very energetic person, and I'm great with children of all ages! I love to provide my clients with only the best, most gorgeous and artistic photos. It's my firm belief that great customer service should accompany a quality product, which is why I will not only make your session fun and enjoyable, but I will also work with you to customize your session to your individual needs. I promise that your photos will be ones that you will be eager and proud to show off to your family and friends!
With more than fifteen years of experience in portraits, weddings, special events and photojournalism, I am your best bet when it comes to choosing a passionate and talented photographer to capture your most precious memories. Photography isn't just my job, it's my first true love! I love it so much that I carry my camera with me every where I go just in case an incredible "Kodak Moment" presents itself.
Because I only use professional equipment, I promise you'll only receive the top of the line, professional photos!
I always travel with backup equipment. My primary equipment rarely fails; in case it does, I won't miss a thing!
If you decide you'd like to do photos in a local park or forest preserve, be aware that many (not all) places have a photography permit fee ranging from $20 to $200. If you have an idea of a location, if I don't already know the fee, I'll find out for you.

I bring all required equipment with me for every session.
Some locations for outdoor portraits require photography permits. Permit and parking fees are NOT included in the session price.
If you would like to do an indoor session with a backdrop onlocation, I will require a space no smaller than 13 feet x 13 feet with 10 feet high ceilings to guarantee a quality product.
