Don may be one of the best photographers in the state. He is professional, courteous, extremely talented and just a generally outstanding individual. I thoroughly enjoy any moment I can spend with him and let him do his work. I am so happy with my updated headshots and level of service from him. I would recommend him to anyone! And he captures the lighting design of our productions immaculately! More...

I had a phenomenal session with Don! He invited me to sit and chat and get acquainted, before we got to the photos. This made me extremely comfortable by the time I got in front of the camera His easy going personality, and passion for photography, is clear! Having a philanthropic outlook for local artists, and giving back by helping the local arts community have top notch headshots through his mastery!! Don’s ease and entertaining demeanor, shine while he is behind his camera! He is truly in his essence and element, and he brings a level of comfort to a session, that makes you want to keep going! Don, thank you for a wonderful session, thank you for making me smile, making me laugh, and getting the emotion out of me! I can’t wait to do another session! You are a gem! More...

Don was fantastic. I’m not comfortable in front of the camera at all, but Don was able to get me to a place where we got some great results. He’s a ton of fun to shoot with, and has both a great eye and the ability to translate that eye into real photos. Absolutely will be shooting again. More...

We often see a mixed reaction from our employees when we offer free headshots. Some dread being in front of a camera, some are pleased about finally getting a long-overdue professional headshot. Don always makes the experience as painless as possible, and even, dare I say it, enjoyable! He's able to capture the essence of an individual and convey their unique qualities (energy, enthusiasm, professionalism etc.). For a company like us with nearly 400 employees, having professional photos of our employees helps the company achieve consistency. Thank you Don and Studio 413 for always giving our employees a great experience and with a fantastic headshot at the end! More...

Don is THE best to work with! He’s truly great at making you feel comfortable and allowing you to express yourself throughout the entire shoot. It’s a very laid back environment, resulting in very professional photos. If you are someone who is very camera shy and struggles with posing (like me) this is the studio for you. He truly cares about making sure you leave with exactly what you wanted. More...

My experience with Don was great. The studio was easy to find. It was a very relaxed environment which made for a great shoot full of genuine smiles. The selection of the photos was collaborative. I actually learned a lot about lighting and that I, too, have "good side". All in all, I would definitely recommend you give him a shout for your photography needs. More...

As you get upstairs and you’re in for a treat with high quality photography and customer service.

First timer getting professional headshots here and, honestly, I thought it'd be all seriousness and choppy work. Don has an great ability to truly connect to you with excitement and make your personality be expressed and truly captured in his photos. Time flew by and we got amazing shots. And what's better is he asks for your true input afterwards when selecting the best photos... although with his years in the profession he was showing me subtle differences I had never noticed or even thought of before.

Let's just start with Don is a lovely human being. I needed an updated professional headshot as mine was 10+ years outdated. Normally I avoid a camera at all costs. Don made me feel comfortable and the whole process enjoyable. He coaches you to get that "aha" photo, there were so many good ones, we/I struggled to pick the winners. Great communication pre and post photo shoot. I will definitely use Don for my next headshot and recommend him to all "unphotogenic" and photogenic folks. More...

I’ve worked with Don over the last 7 years and he’s done headshots, office photos, and action shots for my Facebook and instagram advertisements. The most important part is Don is fun to work with!

I have to admit a mistake I made a couple of years ago concerning having head shots taken for my new business. To save a few dollars I went to a large chain mall store to get them done. I was never pleased with the results or the service. Recently, I decided to go to a professional studio 413 Photography. The results were a night and day difference! Don did an outstanding job of making sure the results were to my liking. There was not feeling of being rushed through the shoot but just a very enjoyable experience. If you have never had a professional picture taken I would highly recommend checking out 413 Photography for a true value experience. More...

Q&As

Engaging the person you are photographing to elicit a genuine expression.

We, as humans, are hard wired to read peoples expressions in photographs as well as life; is this person safe, trustworthy, friend or foe? We make these first impressions in an instant.

The thing is an expression is an organic thing that comes from within us, we can't fake it or do it on command without it looking fake. We do it all the time and you can see fake smiles in every high school yearbook. In fact, you can spot them a mile away.

That is why I talk with my clients and develop a rapport so we really can create an enjoyable, interesting and genuine experience. The expressions...we just capture them as they happen.

Think you would like to hang out?

How will you be using your images?
What do you want to achieve?
Is there anything that you have questions about?

I'm happiest when I am taking photographs.
Meeting people is one of the coolest parts of my job.
Helping people feel good about how they look.
I believe there is beauty waiting to be revealed in every person.

Lost my corporate job and found my true calling in life.

Because I'm a blast to work with.
Talented too.
But fun and easy; just ask my clients.

Advice yes.
Final image files, yes.
Shooting...not usually.

Cleansing the studio space before every visit.
Taking client temps and hand sanitizer.
Frequent testing of myself.
