Overview

I am a freelance photographer who does not print pictures for you. I give you your photos through a link to your email and they are all yours. No extra charge to me if you print them or use them for personal use. Consult for commercial use pricing. Just pay me for the event. I am currently a full-time digital multimedia design teacher for high school students. So I am not available during the day Monday through Friday, unless I have no work for a holiday. Please see my website for some examples of my work. (link hidden)

Amazing Photographer!!

I hired Lee to photograph my baby shower, and he exceeded every expectation! He arrived early to check out the space and prepare, which instantly showed his professionalism. Throughout the event, he was pleasant, patient, and so easy to work with.

The photos came out absolutely beautiful — he truly captured every special moment. I’m so grateful for his talent and his calm, friendly presence on such an important day.

If you’re looking for a photographer who is professional, reliable, and amazing at what he does, Lee is the one! Highly recommended!

Very professional Excellent Photographer

Lee was amazing for our event and very professional. He took excellent photos of our wedding and wedding party. Lee was on time and took test shots before to get the perfect set up for lighting and brought a lighting kit. After he edited the photos and sent us all the photos. I would definitely refer him and use him again in the future.
