Nate FAR exceeded our expectations! The photos are gorgeous, and his prices are very reasonable. He is extremely easy to work with and provided photo shoot advice/clothing suggestions, etc. Digital prints were sent very quickly, including his sending a sample preview the same evening when asked. Would definitely choose Nate again for any graduation, wedding or other special photo shoot!!!

Gonzaga graduation pictures Spokane Photographer
Nate took my graduation pictures and the whole photoshoot was an absolute dream! I was nervous about where to take the pictures or how to pose but he directed the entire process and I love how the pictures turned out!! He even let me do pictures with my dogs and was incredibly patient as we navigated coordination with two rambunctious dogs, even further the pictures turned out so well I'm still in awe of how he got such good pictures with all three of us looking cooperative at the same time. I would absolutely recommend having him take your pictures, the price was very reasonable and he even expedited getting the pictures to me so I would have them before graduation. I was on the fence about whether I even wanted to do pictures but he made the process so easy and captured the moment so perfectly I'm forever grateful I have the pictures he took.
I'm genuinely thrilled with how the pictures turned out and think everybody should have him take their pictures if they need professional ones done!

Nate was amazing to work with from the time I submitted my inquiry until the day I received my gallery! He was quick in responding to my questions and made scheduling super easy. The session was so fun. Nate did a great job incorporating spots on campus that had significant memories while still getting great graduation looks. Not to mention the quickest turn around time of a gallery I have ever seen! I would recommend Nate to everyone!

Gonzaga graduation Photographer
Nate did an amazing job during my session and took some fantastic pictures. He was very kind, patient, and respectful throughout the process. I had a grad session but didn’t have a specific vision in mind, and he did a great job of suggesting ideas and giving me guidance. I really appreciate how well he communicated directions during the shoot and I also appreciated how accommodating he was of my requests and preferences. He did an excellent job taking and editing the pictures. I had so many amazing shots to choose from! He is an excellent choice for anyone looking for grad pictures.
GU Law Headshots
Spokane Photographer
Nate provided headshots for all of the students and group photos for the clubs at Gonzaga Law, he was great to work with responding to all of our questions quickly and setting a great price. The photos all turned out great and I’m seeing a lot of students using them on LinkedIn. He got the photos back to us far faster than we expected too. I would highly recommend Nate and definitely plan on using him in the future.

I am here to help you get the best of the best and nothing less, you're welcome! I typically shoot 200-400 images in a 60 minute session. Of those, you will get 35+ of the best images to choose from. I am a no stress guy and this keeps you from getting a headache trying to find the perfect shots where you are in focus, eyes open, and looking good. Choosing the best images only also allows me to do a much better job of editing than photographers who edit all the pictures.
There are three parts to this question. First, full resolution means images will be delivered at the same resolution my camera produces minus any minimal cropping that may occur to make the images look their absolute best. Second, every photo goes through 40+ editing check points before delivered. Edits range from color and exposure adjustments to cleaning up temporary facial imperfections. Thirdly, images are delivered to you via an online gallery where you can download images and have access to my professional print lab. Just in case I need to say it, your downloaded and printed images are watermark free.
You bet I do! There is no way around it, professional photos look best printed by professionals who care! I personally choose my photo labs because they consistently check the color calibration on their printers and use high quality papers and inks intended to hold their color and structural integrity best over time.
