"I hired Dennis to do family photos while we were on vacation in San Diego. He was incredibly easy to work with— even from 1,000 miles away. My family had more fun on this photoshoot than any other, so much so that my 7-year-old didn’t want to leave.
And the photos... my goodness, the photos... he sent us well over 80 beautiful images, at least 20 made me gasp when I saw them. And I’m very picky! :) Some posed shots, and many ‘lifestyle’ shots that showed love, fun, and happiness. Simply priceless pictures that I will cherish. Could not recommend more highly".

Dennis has been our go-to photographer for as long as I can remember. My husband and I were lucky enough to find him when we got engaged 15 years ago, and we've been using him ever since. He's got a real knack for capturing those precious moments, whether it's with adults or kids. We've never been let down by his work. Year after year, he delivers amazing photos that we'll treasure forever. Thanks, Dennis! - Kim D

WHAT TO WEAR
Clothing always makes parents the most nervous about planning a family session. Just know that as long as your family is themselves, that is what is the most important! But here are a few general rules of thumb I advise clients to follow:
02
01
03
Wear something you can move in without worrying about it. Comfort is key!
Don't match! No one matches in real life, so don't start on picture day.
Plan minimal outfit changes for kids. They don't like it, so try to keep it to a single change, if any.
