Not bad. I dig the stuff from Allerton Park, I go there a lot for engagement pictures and whatnot. The Chicago stuff is awesome.

Welcome to my site! I hope provide the best customer service and satisfaction possible. If you have any questions or comments on service or what you would like to see on my site please let me know.

I'm guessing your just getting started with it, but I would be more specific on what your services are. Are you more of an architectural photographer or are you hoping to branch into portraits and weddings? You say you want to provide the best customer service, but I don't see what you're selling. The only thing it looks like you may have done for some money might be the battle of the bands things, or maybe the Chicago pics. If I were you, I would try to sell those pics of chicago. People that live in central IL now, but once lived in chicago would probably love to have some of those pictures on their wall. As a matter of fact, I know one person that would!

As a local pro, I would love to help you in any way possible. Private message me any time! It's nice to find someone from the area on here.

awesome, thanks for the thoughts. well as it turns out i have not done any shoots for money. I thought that this could be a start to that and also a place that i could point people to for some of my work. the more and more i see some of the "pros" work around here, don't get me wrong one of them in town is amazing, but some is just sub par. I see that and i would even show some one that, anyway the more i think about it the more i think about advertising myself. I am not saying i am a pro by any means, some of the work on here just blows my mind and shows how much i still have to learn. I really do not have a nitch I am really just exploring what i can do with my camera. As it turns out i am a full time college student computer science major and just recently my job quit giving me hours, so i am thinking maybe this is time i try to do something for money. I can not seem to find any local photogs that want assistants or second shooters, so why not branch out a bit. I just might pm you one of these days, I need get back to taking more pics I got pretty busy there for a bit.

also if you know someone who wants one of the chicago pics they can order it right from the site and it will be shipped to them or work another deal. I shot those while at a journalism conference for my colleges newspaper.

thanks for the comments

I guess I didn't notice you could place orders through the site. That's good to know. Sadly, the person I'm talking about doesn't have the best internet skills, so I may just get her one as a gift, and if she likes it, I'll have her call you or something...

I know of the "amazing" photographer of which you speak, and you're right, he's awesome. But that awesomeness comes with a pretty hefty price tag that not a lot of people around here can afford these days. I don't claim to be at the level he's at, but I'm young and I'm sure by the time I'm his age, I'll be just as awesome. I get better with every shoot.

I have one assistant, but her schedule kinda limits the amount of assisting she can do. She's a photography major, so she's pretty much my free intern. But if you ever want to tag along to a wedding, you're more than welcome to come! I don't pay very well right now, though, but we're hoping to open another studio in Pana in the next year, and I'm going to need people to run it.
