  • “We hired John to do a newborn photoshoot for our baby. John was easy to work with from the start and took the time to get to know what we wanted and worked to accommodate all the photos we were looking for. During the photoshoot, he came to our house and was able to work with our space to capture all different photos. He was very easy going and accommodating with the baby as well as his two older brothers. He truly captured the personality of each of the boys through both staged and candid photos. John took and shared so many photos with us and captured everything we wanted and more. We were very happy and impressed by the photos we got back.”
