Working a photo-shoot with Tommy
Tommy enjoys all forms of portraiture. He really enjoys working with people, especially with children. His time as a sports coach allows him to empathize well and make his subjects feel very comfortable and relaxed. This definitely carriies over into his wedding photography. He bridges the gap between photojournalistic / traditional in shooting style and tries to make the day special, fun, and relaxed for his couples.
