Let Us Capture the Spontaneous Moments That Define Your Family
“We’ve been working with Dennis since 2007 and are continuously impressed. He has taken our engagement shots (one of which was featured in the NY Times), our wedding photos (featured in San Diego Wedding magazine), and has done five family portrait sessions.
As a former sports photographer, he is a master at capturing spontaneous moments and true emotions. He’s professional, easy to work with, good with kids, and above all supremely talented. There’s a reason he’s in such high demand and we feel so fortunate to have found him. You will not be disappointed.”
My Goodness, The Photos…
““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 photo- shoot 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. Simple priceless pictures that I will cherish.”
You have created a treasure for us…
“We want to sincerely THANK YOU for the amazing pictures! They are so beautiful!! You have created a treasure for us that we can look back at for many years! Thanks again Dennis, for taking the time to tell our story! We look forward to working with you again!”
