Only $50/hour! Refs, samples, 38 years exp!

About

Hello. Thank you for clicking on this. I am a 60 year old very honest guy who has been doing photography as mostly a hobby since 1980. I shot strictly 35mm film for the first 28 years or so, then finally went digital.

My money-maker over the years has been car photography (car shows, drag races, etc) but my passion is flowers and close-ups. I've never really concentrated on taking people pictures until the last few years. I've done lots of portraits, pictures of homecoming queens, several small weddings and birthday parties, children's pictures and much more. I have hundreds of people who will vouch for my photographic abilities and my eye for details not seen by the average person. I can provide you with links to my PhotoBucket account where you can view thousands of samples of my work! I currently use a Fuji camera with 50x optical zoom and a Nikon camera with 30x optical zoom, both point & shoot cameras. Most photographers use DSLR cameras, but the camera makes no difference if you don't know how to use it. What is more important is experience, as well as an eye for what most people would never even notice or think of getting pictures of.


Whatever your needs, please contact me and let's see what we can set up! I assure you, I charge WAY less than the professionals and studios! I only charge $50 an hour (1 hour minimum), which includes a disc or flash drive of up to 200 shots (or more, depending on my time there)! That price includes my time, batteries, gas to get there and back (but I may have to charge an extra $10 or so if you live more than 25 miles from me), and maybe make a buck or two. But that price is negotiable and we CAN work out a flat rate, but NO, I will NOT do a half hour for $25. I always have a $50 minimum, even if I only shoot a few head shots in 5 minutes. Sorry, I can't make this worth my time, travel and equipment usage for less than a 1 hour minimum charge. And yes, I have a business license and tax number. But I'm far from a full-time pro at this. I'm actually a handyman during weekdays and drag race photographer on weekends!


Oh, as for how I will provide your pictures: I will copy them from my camera's memory card to my laptop, then make a disc for you OR will copy them to a flash drive memory you provide. Either way, you will get digital prints on the spot. I can even crop them or select better shots before I transfer them to you. Even more rare is I relinquish ALL rights over to YOU, so you can use my pictures for anything you chose and I won't ask for a dime more! Hey, YOU paid, so YOU do what you want with the pictures you pay for! It's that easy, and everyone wins!


The above pictures are just a small sample of my work over the last 38+ years! I have hundreds of shots of houses, businesses, items to be sold, adults portraits, and more. Too many to pick through to decide which to post. Just let me know what kind of shot you want to see samples of and I'll e-mail you samples!


I will travel to cities like Auburn, Kent, Renton/South Seattle, Bellevue, Federal Way, SeaTac, Des Moines, Bremerton, Port Orchard, Belfair, Shelton, Allyn, Olympia, Tumwater, Lacey, Yelm, Rainier, Elbe, Enumclaw and more! Sorry, I do NOT travel to or near Seattle (always get all turned-around, and hate dealing with the traffic) OR north of Bellevue.


Please, call OR text me anytime between 9:00 AM and 8:00 PM
