Excellent Experience
We had an Excellent experience with Paul! Super professional, customizing the shoot for our wants/needs of our senior & us as parents- we found that happy medium sweet spot that worked for everyone. We & our senior were very happy! We found Paul from a ‘best senior pictures in Michigan’ search on Facebook & found him Right away! Looked through a lot of photos on socials & on his site along with Lots of helpful guides & reading materials on his page about ideas, locations & sample pictures for senior photos. It’s clear that Paul’s specialty is senior pictures & that he loves what he does! He really understands the perfect settings & lighting & angles! Very experienced! We as a family can really appreciate & recognize great photography work & Paul’s a wealth of knowledge on the subject for sure! There was lots on his site to help you prepare for your session, plan outfits, coordinate best weather dates, locations, & times etc. He was very accommodating to us! These things were all super important to us so when we found his pricing to be quite reasonable, given his level of skill, expertise & accolades, we booked him right away!
