Outstanding professional pics

Steve was so easy to get in touch with and he showed up on time for the event. The photos were turned around in less than 3 days, which was far far sooner than anticipated. Steve seamlessly drifted across the event and took photos at the perfect moments. He is extremely professional and the photos came out stunning - I highly recommend folks to have SJR Martinez Photography for any event!

Couldn't have asked anyone else for my Baby Shower!!!

My husband and I were blessed to book SJ Martinez for our baby shower this past weekend. Martinez was super professional, connected with us prior to the event to understand our event and needs, was flexible enough to stay back longer on our last minute request and did a fantastic job on the pictures.

We look forward to working with him again in our future events and highly recommend him for your events too.

Post Production

Post Production is the process of digital selection and retouching to generate the final set of images for delivery. This is the quiet part of my services, but it accounts for at least 50% of the time spent on the client’s project. Post production is included on all client work for color correction, exposure correction, cropping, noise reduction, and more. The level of post production work depends on the level of service desired.

Delivery

Digital delivery is the norm for today with various options available. I employ OneDrive cloud services for delivery of client work. Of course, if needed, the client may request and receive physical media for client archival purposes. Feel free to email us or call us anytime for a quote.

About

I began my love for photography as a teenager developing rolls of black and white film in a friend's basement darkroom.

I believe that great creativity often is the result of team effort between the photographer and the subject. It is my mission to capture excitement, laughter, and love that is life through a story of photographs. Honestly speaking, I just LOVE taking pictures …

"The camera is the least important element in photography." ~ Julius Shulman
