Working with the fantastic Mr. Rob is a one-of-a-kind experience. Being active in the modeling/fashion industry, I have had more shoots than I can count on my fingers and toes. In my opinion, the ones that turn out to be really special are with photographers that capture the moments when you're not posing...when you're distracted and acting naturally. Those are the shots you never tire of looking at. Long story short, that is exactly what happens when Rob is on the job. I'm SO looking forward to my next shoot(s) with such a talented, super-chill guy. |

"I’m so glad Rob took on our wedding photography! He incorporated a really fun, relaxed spirit into the event and covered everything from the rehearsal dinner to post-dinner dancing at the reception. He even created black-and-whites from all the color photos to add to the selection, and as a result, some of the pictures proved to be even more stunning in black and white. The photos my husband and I enjoy most from Rob are all of the candids he took. While every bride and groom wants a few formal poses with family and members of the wedding party, Rob proved his expertise at photography by capturing the moments no one else did--those moments of raw emotion and beauty. The best photos he took are the ones we had no idea he was taking. I particularly cherish one he captured of me kissing my grandma, not only because it’s so beautiful but because the day we got married was the day my grandpa proposed to her over 60 years ago. Rob’s creativity, sharp photography and quick eye for those spur-of-the-moment images ensured we have a wedding album to treasure for years to come. Thanks, Rob! Love, Rose & Ted" - Rose MacHarg, Baltimore, MD |

You can feel his passion and it shows in all of his photographs. I cannot wait until our next session together! " - Felicia Speranske, Wheaton, IL |

"Rob did a wonderful job capturing images of the girls. He made them feel comfortable and natural as he guided them in their poses and expressions. Some of the photos turned out to be exceptionally special. The lighting and the reflections in the water all came together beautifully." - Johnna Horvat, Newnan, GA |
