Connor is hands down on of the best photographers you can hire. His level of quality and attention to detail is superb and is at a reasonable price. I chose him to capture my professional headshots and my graduation photos and his work surpassed my best expectations. He is so easy to work with and flexible to new ideas. He came prepared and has a mastery of the lighting, angles, and poses to capture my moment in the very best ways. I admit that I can be a control freak but I am now convinced to leave it up to him and will get an amazing set of photos that everyone will love. Without a doubt, I will surely reach out to him to capture all of my future engagements.

"Connor was great to work with and gave me exactly what I needed. He was always quick to respond, and returned the final edits within less than 24 hours. Highly recommend, would definitely work with him again."

"Connor was the photographer at a friends wedding and after seeing their amazing photos I asked him to do some headshots for me. He was really thoughtful around time of day for that golden hour lighting, really helpful with posing (and politely telling me to open my eyes more lol). He was so fast and efficient and I got SO MANY GOOD OPTIONS! Honestly will definitely work with him again in the future! Highly recommend!"

Connor is an amazing photographer. Time and time again he has turned out amazing headshots for me. He takes time to ask what you are looking for, plan ahead, and is super friendly during the entire shoot. I’ll be going back to him when I need headshots again, and know that friends that have used him for events and group photos have also been so happy.

"Connor was a delight to work with and brought his talent and professionalism to make this a great experience. Connor communicated frequently throughout the booking and as someone who hasn’t had headshots taken recently, lended a ton of advice in advance of the shoot to help maximize the impact of the photos. He even gave advice on what to wear and what to avoid. During the shoot he was both efficient with my time and also directive about different scenes and lightning to get the best shot. And when the photos arrived (nearly instantly after we shot) - they all looked amazing! I was really impressed with his talent and how well the shoot went. I would highly recommend and look forward to working with him again!"

Connor did a wonderful job at two projects, a personal project and a work related project. I highly recommend him for both your business and personal photography needs. He is timely, helpful, and very flexible with everything. He has a lot of great ideas and turns around projects quickly. If you are looking for a photographer in the DC area (or anywhere else!) go to Connor first!

“I had a wonderful experience with Connor. The photoshoot itself was a fun experience, and the final product exceeded my expectations. As someone who hasn't been the subject of many photoshoots, I can say that Connor was helpful in making me feel at ease and guiding me to strike just the right poses. I would recommend him wholeheartedly!”

"I started noticing Connor's work as a DC Event photographer who captured the joy and spontaneity of a few parties that I attended. I started following him on Instagram and when I saw some headshots of friends of mine then I knew that he was the one to take portraits of my family. The whole experience was so easy and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. My recommendation is to hire him, listen to his advice and then let him do his thing."
