“Rob first and foremost is one of the most professional photographers I have ever had the chance to work with. From the beginning I felt completely comfortable with his ease of speaking and guidance. I never referred to myself as the "model type" but working with him makes me feel like one. His vision is impeccable as I . . .

“Top notch. I wanted a lot. Great photographer who could deliver a vision but have a solid sense of his style and have an opinion. A+. Would I return? Hell yes. The turn around time is faster than you'd expect. Rob spend ample time in post to deliver higher than expected results. Cannot say enough good things..”

"We just got our final proofs back from Rob and wow, are we ever pleased. Rob is no ordinary photographer-- he's an artist. He got shots we never even dreamed of but that were just exactly what we wanted. His pricing is SO FAIR, especially when you see what you get. He's professional but friendly, warm, and fun to work with."
