I've had photo sessions with Edmar on several occasions and you can tell he's truly interested in getting to know you. He asks questions to really understand what you want and what you like, and uses that knowledge to really capture great moments. He has a great eye for getting the best scene in the shot. During the session he'll also show you what he's got so far just to make sure he on the same page as you and is open to any ideas you may have mid session. I didn't know much about what to do when getting my picture taken, but he also gave some posing tips, almost like mini modeling lesson! He's great with natural light but also brings enough lighting equipment with him in case of poor weather so you can trust he will take the best picture and make you look great. I also requested some photos to be retouched and he was able to do a quick turnaround. I couldn't ask for more in a photographer. I highly recommend his services!

Edmar was the best! We had such a fun time . And he made it super easy with signing & releasing photos and was very professional . Photos came out amazing! he is very talented and I'd definitely do another photo session again . We love how they turned out .

Posting on behalf of a friend who doesn't have an account, but wanted to recommend his services: "I've never booked a photographer before and didn't know want to expect. However, I was extremely satisfied with the entire process to get my headshot taken.Edmar's online portal to schedule the photoshoot, review/sign the contract, and retrieve photos were efficient and super easy to use; and, any correspondence via email and text were very timely and professional. I appreciated his tips on the location, leveraging his knowledge of permits and proactively asking what types of venues I wanted.During the photo shoot, he was kind, patient, and adaptable. And, he provided effective tips on posing and positioning. This all helped me feel much more comfortable because posing is already awkward in itself and the weather conditions weren't the best on that particular day. I was also impressed with his lighting equipment! Given the time of the day we were shooting, it made such a difference in my photos. Before we ended, he even asked if there were concerns I had that he could address in the photo editing process.Lastly, the photos itself turned out awesome and I'm happy to finally have a professional headshot for work and LinkedIn instead of a photo from my cellphone. There was just one touch-up I wanted and the turnaround was very quick. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend Edmar for professional headshots and to consider his other photo services!"
