Loren did a fabulous job photographing our wedding in January. Very personal touch that shows in the photos. He is very easy to work with and really listened to what we wanted. He went above and beyond as our wedding took place in the middle of a snowstorm and he and his assistant made arrangements to be in town the night before to make sure he was there. Amazing job and wonderful person. More...

Loren was an excellent photographer for our family reunion. 9 siblings - add sposes, children & grandchildren we had about 45 people - he was very friendly, patient, and fun - quite a feat considering our clan!
He arrived early, took many candid shots that were amazing- before and after all of the group photos. Our entire family loved having him a part of our gathering. We all loved his photos with his professional edits & he transferred them to flash drives in addition to uploading them to Dropbox online. This was all completed in a timely manner & it was alot of work for him to process!
We all highly recommend him to be a part of your events

Loren shot our wedding on the lake. He did a really great job and paid close attention to small details that not many other photographers would have. The candid shots were plentiful. And he captured many moments through the wedding that we will be able to look back at over the years and remember our perfect day. More...

Loren photographed a large family reunion for me and the pictures he got were nothing short of amazing. He caught candid moments that were absolutely priceless. He spent time with us prior to the event discussing what our family would most like depicted and celebrated. He was professional, unobtrusive and we couldn't be happier with the images he captured for our family to enjoy forever. More...

Sean Murray
I hired Loren to photograph the interior and exterior of my home. He truly did an amazing job. He shot many different, unique and creative angles of every single room. I was amazed at the level of detail and time he was able to devote to getting things just right. His use of different filters, lenses and lighting was second to none. It was comforting to work with such a seasoned professional. I would highly recommend Loren for any of your photographic needs. I'm certain his work will impress you as much as it did me. More...
What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Capturing the raw emotion and feeling of the moment. Thinking outside the box to find those special images that really tell a story. Seeking out the pictures that are not so common surrounding the atmosphere or location of the event or photography session. These images help add to the story of your special moments.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
First I like to ask "roughly what is your budget for your photography needs"? This is because everyone's event is unique to their own size and taste. I like to work within the client's budget and therefore can clearly offer them what can be included at different price points. Second I like to ask what are the client's expectations for the services rendered, therefore we are on the same page right from the beginning. I enjoy getting to know my client's and I will ask questions about their lives, just general questions about their likes and dislikes so I can build a story with the photographs taken throughout the event.
What do you love most about your job?
The people, it is a great joy to meet new people and discover what they are all about. Being a part of putting together memories of one part of their life story is a thrill for me. It is always a great learning experience meeting people from all walks of life. Everyone is unique in their own way I love to capture these moments thru the lens of my camera. Photography and people bring me joy these memories of special moments are so important and beautiful.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My passion for the creative, visual and performing arts. Also, I feel that I can offer reasonable rates when I keep my overhead low. I try to keep my cost down and I like to pass that on to my client's. Services are becoming extremely expensive and I keep it simple in my business which enables me to service a great variety of clients with different budgets. We still take pride in doing excellent work, we just do it for a reasonable price.
Why should our clients choose you?
Fair pricing, professional staff, we are a company that takes pride in servicing our client's needs to the best of our ability. We are easy to work with, we are organized, on time, available to answer questions any time. We deliver what we say we will. We go over all the details for your shoot. We dress appropriately for the event, we are kind and courteous to all involved. I guess I am old school in business, no cell phone interruptions from me or my staff, ( unless it is an emergency) our job is to be there with you doing our job. Our client's come first, ALWAYS!
Thank you
