Kate Mairs says, “He took the time to understand our brief and delivered a strong collection of photos that felt natural, candid, and authentic. He did a particularly great job capturing the personalities of the people involvedreal smiles, natural interactions, and moments of connection rather than images that felt overly posed.He was also wonderful with everyone he photographed, putting people at ease and creating a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere throughout the shoot. From the client side, Doug was responsive, professional, and easy to work with throughout the entire process.We were very happy with the final images and would absolutely recommend working with him.”
Bad Medicine C. says, “Needed photos of our live comedy show last minute. Rob stepped in and did a wonderful job for someone who had never been in the theater space before.”
Whitney W. says, “Cecret Photography was absolutely amazing! From the moment she arrived, she made the entire experience feel effortless. She was so personable with my kids and family, which made everyone feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. The backdrop was beautiful, the session flowed seamlessly, and she kept everything moving without ever making us feel rushed.
What she didn’t know is that I’ve recently started taking social media much more seriously, with birthdays and several milestones coming up. Let’s just say she’s about to be booked and busy on our side! 😊
Thank you for such a wonderful experience. We truly appreciate the care and energy you brought to our session, and I cannot wait to see the final photos!”

I’m an independent photographer offering professional event, portrait, family, senior, and wedding photography. I’ve been practicing photography for years and am now focused on building a strong portfolio with clients who value meaningful, well-composed images.
Because I work solo, you’ll get my full attention from planning through final edits. I’m patient, easygoing, and always aim to capture genuine moments rather than stiff poses.
If you’re looking for quality photos at a fair price from someone who truly cares about the results, I’d love to talk about your session or event.
