I needed some headshots to use for an upcoming audition and Stephen not only understood what I wanted but also made valuable suggestions to ensure that I best represent myself in the pictures once the end product is done. His communication was clear, direct and we got things done in a reasonable amount of time. In fact, he went above and beyond to make sure that I get my copies on time to send them for printing. If you are looking for a photographer, Stephen is your guy! Thank you Stephen!"
