Why choose Chad Payne Photography?

Chad Payne photography

combining technical proficiency, passion, patience, intuition, and unique artistic sensibilities.

I love to shoot! Capturing a moment and bringing out the best in people and places through photography is my passion. If I had my way, I would always have a camera in my hand. Sometimes it seems as if I do. I am always trying new things, working to create photographs that stand out from the crowd. It is not uncommon to see me lying in the dirt, climbing over obstacle or crawling under filth to get the shot I have in mind.

I am well respected by my peers for professionalism and easy going attitude. I will always work to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. During your photo session you will have so much fun you will wonder where the time went!

My easy going style along with my natural eye for the moment helps me capture subjects in a candid and organic manner. I work hard to make my clients feel comfortable enough to let their guards down and be themselves in front of the camera because that is when the best photographs happen.
