Professional Rochester photographer for business headshots,
family and pet portraits, event and commercial projects.

Relax, you’re not having a root canal!

Just a fun photographer who promises to put you at ease — so you get awesome photos.

“Phew, that wasn’t so bad!”

That’s what they say.

And guess what? Many people actually enjoy having their photo taken by me — it’s definitely a lot more fun than a five-course dinner with the in-laws, anyway.

Because my big ‘thing’ when it comes to photography is making you chill out, relax and enjoy the experience. I know having your photo is daunting. And it just feels a bit awkward (am I smiling enough? Is this smile too much? Where do I put my arm?!).

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Go on, keep reading…

Think of me as your friendly
Rochester photo-man.

I take fun, bright, and confidence-bursting photos for business owners, conferences, events, families, and even fur babies (well, usually their hooman mom or dad hires me; I’m yet to get a call from a Labrador…).

You get the picture. Literally. Photography, images, pictures, portraits — from business headshots to showcase your epic value to treasured portraits that capture what makes your family unique (oh yes, we get the quirky and the wonderful, and we celebrate it!).

Whatever it is, I can promise you one thing — when I’m your photographer, it’s gonna feel easy, fun, and relaxed. Nothing like getting a tooth extracted.

He puts you at ease, which is nice when you’re not a person who loves having photos taken of you! He’s great with kids.”

“I can’t say enough good things about John. Not only is he personable, funny, and kind, but he is also super professional. He takes his time to make sure you are happy with your photos and provides you with an easy-to-navigate gallery with proofs you can choose from. His studio is well-equipped, clean, and welcoming.
