About Dave Edwards Photography LLC
|
Starting at the age of 9 and equipped with a $5.00 Kodak Brownie camera my life-long
interest in photography began with a family vacation to Niagara Falls. Over the years the
natural landscape became my primary subject, but along the way I also incorporated skills
related to portraits and weddings. During 2001 I formally developed a small business that
includes most aspects of photography with an emphasis on senior portraits and weddings.
There is a photographic acronym called KISS that I remind myself of often. KISS or "Keep
it simple silly" is used in my photography work and in my day-to-day business decisions.
Offering basic photographic services compliments my goal of providing quality
photographs at a reasonable price.
If you are looking for a high-end professional photographer with multiple package options,
cutting edge digital imaging, and a wide assortment of backdrops I will be the first to
suggest that you look elsewhere. However, if you are looking for basic photographic and
digital imaging services and reasonable prices without sacrificing quality, look no further.
Providing you with a quality product is priority one. Many potential clients ask questions
and discuss the details of their photographic needs from the kitchen table of our home.
And that's they way I prefer it, comfortable atmosphere and absolutely no sales pitch. I will
not try to pressure you into purchasing anything you don't want.
If you have any questions about my services, please feel free to contact me. Perhaps we
could sit down at our kitchen table and discuss how my photographic and digital imaging
services can meet your needs.
