Highly recommended!!

I loved working with Ray Nard Imagemaker! Every step was thoughtful and professionally handled. He was able to work planning meetings around our schedule even though our time zone was 16 hours ahead. He was able to execute exactly what we had in mind and went above and beyond by taking time to scout locations ahead of time an hour away from where he is located! He helped both myself and my husband with posing and made us look great. The finished product is simply amazing! Overall knowing what I know now, I would pay double what I paid to work with Ray again and still think I got a great value!

5 year Anniversary photos

Ryan’s great to work with! He has done several other photo shoots for my family to capture all of the milestones in life. We had such a great time getting our 5 year anniversary photos taken and Ryan did a fantastic job! He not only made the experience fun and feel natural, but was very timely on his response with the photos to view!
