Client Testimonials
Maxwell was wonderful with my 4 year old. We can’t wait to have him come back!
Maxwell is one of our favorites! He planned an outing/special activity for them almost every day and kept them both engaged and off screens. He sent photos so we could see what they were up to. We came home to a house that was picked up and happy kids. We would highly recommend him!
I am delighted to recommend Maxwell for photography services. He took a draft concept in my head and quickly transformed the idea into a professional timelapse science video. Due to Maxwell’s expertise, the project was accomplished in less time than anticipated; the turnaround time from the last image captured to the finished project took less than a day. His attention to detail and his photographic talent resulted in a quality video that I am excited to use for educational purposes. I look forward to working with Maxwell in the future. Thank you, Maxwell!
Maxwell is wonderful to work with. He was so good with the kids in our studio! His artistic ability truly shows in his work!
We loved all our videos from here for our dance recital with Kim & Company dance! You've done an amazing job! Can’t wait to work with you again this season!
Maxwell is awesome! I wanted something special for my little girl and he made it happen! Having the opportunity to work with Maxwell has been amazing! His talent is amazing and his work represents that! 10/10 recommend! I can definitely see us working more with him in the future!
The photos turned out absolutely amazing! The quality and editing were great. I'm so so so happy I was able to find him for the Exodus at VT Spring 2022 showcase and that we were able to work together! I can't wait to see the photos he'll take for the Spring 2023 showcase!
Maxwell did an amazing job taking photos of our Exodus dance showcase. Despite the complicated lighting conditions which can be tricky to capture well on camera, his photos came out vibrant and dynamic, with a great selection of poses and shots.
The photos for the Exodus Spring Showcase 2022 came out so well I posted them on all my socials and have had many of them as my desktop wallpaper! I'm so excited for this semester's showcase pictures too!
I recorded my college music supplements with Maxwell, and could not have chosen better. He was very patient, and the quality of the final video was amazing. I highly recommend Maxwell for any recording or filming jobs!
Excellent person with great equipment! He can help you finish that song or film you’ve been meaning to produce forever. He is a professional with high-end technology and quality acoustics. Would recommend!
Maxwell set a new all-time high standard for hiring anyone to watch my kids. He was proactive in asking about them, their routine and our family with an online form, he was on time, prepared and absolutely delightful. My kids loved spending time with him! He even cracked the code for getting our toddler to sleep without multiple wakings. Highly recommend! Will hire again, I hope!!
Max was great with our kids. He can prepared with a copy of his ID and background information and a list of activities he would love to do with the kids. When requested he played our old piano beautifully and my daughter was so impressed. He has kept up to date with us even a couple years later and sends the kids birthday cards.
Maxwell is really organized and great with kids! He came to our hotel to play with our kids for hours and help them sleep while we visited Charlottesville. He did a thorough online pre-meeting and has documentation and surveys and stuff. He brought some toys with him for my kids and even asked ahead of time what theme of temporary tattoos they would prefer. Very reliable.
