Dan is an absolute pro! From the warm and welcoming studio to Dan’s hospitality, my entire headshot experience at Excalibur Portraits was awesome. My headshots were exactly what I was looking for as I enter my next chapter as a professional, which is launching my own business. Dan was able to get the exact shot I had in my mind and actually exceeded my expectations. His relaxed, yet professional approach made it easy to just be yourself in front of the camera and could not be more pleased with the end result. If you need professional headshots, I highly recommend Dan at Excalibur Portraits. Jason Birr - Founder and President, Fuze Recruiting More...

Dan is phenomenal! I had a last minute request to schedule a session and his work was truly extraordinary. He's a very creative photographer and worked with me to find the best lighting and the best angles, and his studio is a really cool space. Highly recommend Dan!

His expertise in lighting is evident in every stunning shot he produces.In summary, if you're in need of top-notch photography services in a beautifully designed studio, I definitely recommend him.

We had the opportunity about a year ago to do some head shots and I was just really disappointed in a different vendor that we used. I thought there has to be more. Dan was A+ amazing. He worked with our team to bring out the most genuine and authentic smiles to communicate warmth of the individuals. He touched up the photos so professionally they just look beautiful. I am so happy and so impressed and grateful. We will have the opportunity to have some very nice professional photos on our website and in our bios. We plan to go back and do some team photos as well. I highly recommend using him. You will not be disappointed! More...

Dan is great! Dan came to our office for some company headshots and we also had some people that could not make the event go to his studio. He is great at getting people to feel confident and genuinely smile for their pictures (which is no easy task with large groups). We will defiantly use Dan again in the future! More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
What makes a photographer a professional is the ability to produce a great image in whatever circumstance presents itself. Controlling the light, setting the stage, and fully understanding the message that needs to be seen in the final image all go into the recipe for making a great photo.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
I always ask for a budget. Not because I want to know how much money I can get, but I can often cater my services to fit a budget by taking a few less photos or doing a little less editing.
What do you love most about your job?
It's never the same thing twice. Whether it is trying to find the best angle to photograph a kitchen, or where to place a light to flatter a face, there is always a bit of a puzzle that I enjoy solving with every set of photos.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was just a hobby photographer until friends and acquaintances began asking me to do photos for them. The business grew from this small group of customers.
