Wade is so easy to work with! He was extremely kind and definitely knows what he’s doing too. Especially being someone who isn’t naturally photogenic or used to having pictures taken of me, this experience was a breeze. I never once felt awkward or judged since I don’t have experience being photographed. Wade is so genuine and kept things going in a timely fashion without me feeling rushed. 100000/10 recommend:)

I never had professional photos taken of myself before working with Wade so I was kind of nervous about not being photogenic but let me just say I was not disappointed in the slightest! This dude knows how to take pictures and helped me feel so confident. His pictures made my mom want me to make a model portfolio because he’s so talented!!

DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?
I do retouching for things like acne and skin blemishes, but I won't make drastic changes like making you look thinner or removing tattoos—just keeping it real.
Will you retouch the photos?
Photos are typically delivered within 2-3 weeks, and no longer than 4 weeks. You'll get an online gallery where you can share and download your images as much as you like for up to a year.
How soon can I expect my photos, and what's the delivery process?
To lock in your date, just reach out, sign the contract, and pay the retainer. No date is held until both the contract is signed and the retainer is taken care of.
