For each session we'll take as many shots as needed until we get the perfect expression. As we're shooting we can review how the portraits are turning out and adjust any detail as necessary. Once we get the perfect shot I'll retouch the selected file and send it to you via email or Dropbox. Contact me today to schedule your professional portrait session!
Most successful social brands and personalities have great photos or videos on their Instagram or Youtube channels. I've worked with several models and brands and helped them increase their followers. If you would like to pursue the social media business model and become an influencer, send me a line and we'll see if we can make a good team!
I have years of experience photographing corporate events, conferences, camps, fairs and more. I generally capture everything from zoomed in shots of speakers to super wide angles of venues, candids and capture all pertinent details. Contact me about photographing your event today! Had a great time photographing this event and the guest speaker was Dr. Ben Carson.
I have thousands of photos from Fischoff from previous years that I'm hoping to keep in this section. The collection is quite large so it'll take some time. If you would like to order some photos from a previous competition please contact me. Some photos of the Fischoff 2017 competition. I'll continue to upload photos from various years.

Josef was great to work with for our wedding. He was very responsive via phone and email before the wedding date and attentive to my vision. Our wedding shots turned out great! We printed out a few for our home and even made special collages to give to our family members. He went above and beyond. He even stood in some tall grass to get a long family shot and as a result, he got stung by a bee! So sorry Josef! I would recommend Josef for any event.

Joe is warm, friendly, and highly professional. He has a great eye and is thorough in his work. He made me feel comfortable despite how I disliked being in front of a camera. Highly recommend this photographer who is not just good at what he does but has a good heart as well. Definitely value for money.

Josef Does by far some of the best work. He is a man of character and integrity. He is very detailed oriented and won't settle for less than his best. He is gifted and the quality of photography and edits is some of the best I have ever seen. He is also great at the turn around doing it right and getting it to you fast. I strongly recommend him for all your needs in video and photography alike.

Josef is great! I've hired him 4 times, for events such as holiday pictures, baptism, and first communion. He has always been professional, reliable, and punctual making planning photography for important events so easy. Thank you Josef for providing our family with very high quality photos and very good service.

Called to get a quote for a couple's shoot. He did not understand what I was asking him and it seemed like he was blowing me off the whole time. After repeating myself several times, he answered my questions. Finally, he stated that he was uncomfortable taking the pictures because we are two women. He said he most definitely would not be willing to shoot our wedding even though I was not asking about wedding photography. In the end, I do not want a homophobe taking my photos.

Josef was our wedding photographer and did a fabulous job! He was so laid-back and easy to work with. He didn't make the picture process stressful at all, which was very much needed on a big day like that! I would highly recommend him for any type of photography that you need! Great guy with a great eye for photography! We were very pleased with his work! :

We met Josef when a friend of ours recommended him for our Engagement Photo's. We had NO idea how much we were about to fall in love with his Photography! Almost 10 years later and we now have professional photos of our family stages and moments hanging all over our home. We've lived in so many places, and these photos following us make it feel like home wherever we are.
We've also been able to snatch him up to do our photo shoots for album covers we've released. Josef has an incredible eye, expertise and professionalism that is so refreshing in such a saturated industry.

I would highly recommend Joe. Great pictures, very laid back. Very nice guy. Happy to work with us for what we wanted. Clearly enjoys what he does. We met with several other photographers in the area, and Joe was the best by far. He uses more of a photojournalistic style, so he's particularly good at candid shots (which was what we wanted).

Talented, creative, fun, and a great approach to photography. Everyone at my wedding was commenting on how they loved Josef's style and how he was photographing the event. Josef is laid back and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. My wedding party and family had a great time working with him. For my husband and I, having great photos was a must. The pictures were amazing and exceeded our expectations!
