Paul was professional
The weather would not cooperate for Fall pictures but Paul had no problem rescheduling based on the Michigan weather we were dealing with. Our son came into his senior picture session with a theme in his mind that Paul was willing to work with and recreate. Our son is a duck hunter and wanted pictures that reflect that, i.e having his dog, shotgun and decoys as props and Paul was willing to incorporate all those things in his session. Paul was even able to get actual ducks in some of his pictures during a stop at a cider mill! Overall, our experience with Paul was professional and he provided our son with what he wanted to be reflected in his senior pictures.
