June 28, 2021Nothing short of AMAZING!
You know the photographer is great when you have a hard time choosing which pics you want! Every shot was worthy. My session with Shane was nothing short of AMAZING! He works quick, but not rushed and made me feel comfortable even though I was extremely stressed upon arriving. I received my proofs fast as well. 10/10 would recommend.

July 8, 2017Visionary Photographer, Kind and Prompt
Shane is professional, kind and dependable. He was a pleasure to work with and his work is awesome. If you're looking for a fair and affordable photographer who has a great eye and knows how to work around light and catches GREAT candids, looks no further! You won't be sorry.

July 6, 2017Fitness Shoot - Excellent experience
Shane came to do an active/fitness photoshoot at my studio and he exceeded expectations. His pictures captured everything we wanted, using lighting in beautiful ways. He made the session enjoyable and everyone felt comfortable so it was a breeze and everyone loved the results. He was also generous with his time and super responsive and professional. 100% happy.

June 28, 2017Amazing Photog Skills!
I had a short shoot with Shane during the dress rehearsal for an upcoming show. Shane basically shot photos while I ran my pole dance routine. Usually when I do photo shoots I go blue in the face holding poses and trying to get perfect angles. But Shane has a magic finger and is able to grab the money shot while I'm in motion. While I was running my routine I was secretly thinking that there is no way he is going to be able to get the right shot unless I slow down my routine and hold poses. Then I saw some of the shots on Shane's camera and boy was I wrong. He was able to grab so many amazing shots without me having to think or pose much at all. I am so pleased with the results and I've been receiving tons of compliments on the photos Shane took. Every other pole dancer I know who has shot with Shane sings the same praise as well. He is truly talented, super friendly, and easy to work with. I would love to shoot again with Shane in the future and I highly recommend him.

June 21, 2017Definitely Hire Shane!
From one photographer to another, I must say that Shane was an absolute joy to work with. We hired him because of his candid approach to shooting events and he did not disappoint. He was easy to book, extremely responsive to email/phone calls, and very flexible, which was great since we hired him to shoot a graduation. He was also great with my daughter, and took some beautiful candid photos of us as a family. I am so thrilled to have found him and will definitely be hiring him again for another family shoot down the line. If you want candid, "day in the life" photography of your family or event, then definitely go with Shane, you will not regret it!

What to expect
You can expect that I'll be at least 15min early to our scheduled time. I'm courteous, self aware, and respectful of my surroundings. You can expect an experienced photographer, well versed in many styles of shooting and equipped with top of the line cameras and lenses. I also have a fast turn around time. Depending on how big the job is and if it's requested and/or needed I can have a second shooter accompany me (small additional charge). I generally quote two weeks for delivery of the finished images but almost always deliver in under one week.
About
Really the best way to see about me is my "who am I" page on my website which even has a few snaps of me in front of the camera. :) (link hidden)
Additional booking notes
For events (even low light events) I generally shoot without a flash and get fantastic results. The purpose of no flash is to get those candid shots that truly show the ambiance and without distracting others. However, when a flash, flashes, or special lighting, and backdrops are needed I can certainly set that up too.
If you'd like to know what gear I use: Canon 5d Mark IV, Canon 6D , 24 - 105mm f4, 70 - 200mm 2.8, 20mm 1.2, 35mm 1.2, 50mm 1.2, 85mm. 1.4, tripods, flashes, lights, backdrops..etc.
