A consultation is required to discuss photographic concepts. This short meeting will make the difference between run-of-the-mill photos and personalized, unique photos for you to cherish forever. We know you have a million questions. Don't worry! We will cover all your questions and more in your free consultation.
Although we are confident in our quality, we want you to be happy. We go to great lengths to ensure that you are. If, after the consultation and shoot, you are not 100% satisfied, Nathan Ham Photography will re-shoot, reprint, or refund any pictures at your request.
“I have worked with Nathan on numerous commercial projects over the years, so when it was time to select a photographer to take our daughter’s senior pictures it was an easy decision. As someone who has worked with professional photographers all over the country, I can say without hesitation that I have found none better than Nathan Ham.
While we expected top-quality photographs from Nathan, what my wife and I couldn’t have expected was the transformation that took place in our daughter as a result of this experience.
Not only did Nathan capture her natural outer beauty, he also encouraged her to let her inner beauty shine through. He didn’t try to change my daughter to fit his photographic style; he adapted to fit her unique style and personality.
The result of Nathan’s efforts was photographs that far exceeded our expectations and a young woman who, perhaps for the first time in her life, believes us now when we tell her how beautiful she is. Our daughter is entering her senior year with a newfound confidence that is a direct result of this incredible experience.
Anyone with a camera or smartphone can snap a few photos, but it takes a real professional to capture the true essence of his subject. Thanks to Nathan Ham, our daughter had an experience she will not soon forget and we have beautiful images of her that we will cherish forever.”
