An absolute professional and it's been impressive watching his work & team grow since we initially connected in 2014. Well deserved for someone whose passion and love for his work comes out instantly when you meet him. Don't miss any opportunity you get to work with Dan Stewart Photography!

I started working with Michael about 10 years ago. He was one of the first great art directors I…read morehad the chance to work with in NYC. We began a strong work relationship and it didn't take long to develop into a genuine friendship. Micheal makes a great teammate; I had a tendency to shoot with no end in site and Michael was great at managing time and also conceptualizing idea's on the fly. Bringing the whole package to the table, Michael is one of the few creatives I have met who is equally talented in art direction and photography, possessing a diverse knowledge in all of the various photographic genres. Extremely easy to be around, smart and efficient with creative endeavors, I always look forward to working with Michael.

And there were multiple pictures that they took that I didn't even realize I wanted until I saw they had taken them! I can't recommend them highly enough!

She had a special going on that if you booked a shoot the book was free, and she honored that instead of charging me. The photos turned out so gorgeous and it was truly very easy to work with Melissa. That being said, I usually am not photogenic. The only thing I wished I did differently was to work out before the shoot! The poses weren't the easiest, and I felt totally beat up the next day, but it was well worth it because my photos turned out awesome!

What a great guy to be around!…read more Paul is calm, funny, easy to talk to, and...(obviously by these reviews), a great photographer. We called only a day in advance, yet he squeezed us in after a day of THREE different photo shoots. Long day for him! Even after having so many photography jobs (and us telling him not to rush), he had our photos to us in just two days. The photos are BEAUTIFUL and most importantly, real-looking. Instead of doing a lot of editing, he used the natural light during the photo shoot to our advantage and I was wowed when I ended up liking every photo he'd taken. Would definitely recommend!
