The Stingley Family
What an awesome experience! I have four kids, ages 16mo-11 years. You can imagine how hard it is to get 4 kids looking at the camera and smiling at the same time. Craig captured some awesome photos and memories that will last a lifetime. He is worth every penny.
The Poel Family
Wow. Craig beautifully captured our entire family -- no easy feat since there were 20 of us, ranging in age from six months through ... adulthood. It was a cold winter day and, with his antics, Craig managed to keep the mood light and made for an enjoyable process. We've received so many compliments ... Thank you!
The Walsh Family
From the beginning when you first meet Craig to when you get the final product and everything in between, you will find yourself amazed, pleasantly surprised and extremely happy. Â This was the first time my family has ever done a family portrait and don't have much to compare this process to but our experience with was incredible. Craig guides you through the process, helps you make decisions with his god given talent in his eyes and knack for seeing the details and incredible amount of experience he brings. Â Not to mention he is great with kids. Â I would highly recommend him in any situation that you find yourself needing a photographer. Â We will be scheduling an extended family portrait with him soon!
The Naimen Family
Craig is a colorful personality who takes a lot of time, up front, making sure that you understand all that he has to offer, including the quality of his production team, and all of the options in finished products that he is able to provide. Â I would have preferred a somewhat less prolonged and detailed presentation. However, once we got to the shoot, everything proceeded very well. For a reasonable fee, Craig was willing to travel to the mountain location where our extended family was vacationing and where he had asked me to explore possible sites for the shoot. One of these was much to his liking. Whereas I had had some doubts about Craig, initially, I was impressed with how skillfully he handled the shoot. He related warmly and humorously to all our family members, including our three grandchildren, ages 7 to 10. The whole family really enjoyed the experience of the shoot, despite the temperature dropping into the 50's, as the sun was setting. The shots Craig obtained ranged from excellent to wonderful. The prints he produced for us measured up to his initial claims. We were glad we worked with Craig, and would recommend him to others seeking high quality prints of family.
