Testimonial:



Dawn

"Chris was recommended to me by a mutual photographic peer. From the moment we met, I was made to feel comfortable. His knowledge of the location was detailed, product knowledge fabulous and his photographic skills and knowledge amazing - he is a wealth in this field and has so much to share. I am pleased with the amount of information that I was able to take away from our experience and can't wait to practice many of the pointers that he shared with me. Thank You Chris."
