We all realize how impossible it is to get the ENTIRE department together at the same time for a department photo.
My dept photos are done differently....
I come to your station for an entire weekend - Saturday & Sunday, 7 hours each day! If a third day is needed due to shift schedules, I can accommodate that as well!
*if your department requires non-weekend scheduling, I can definitely accomodate that need!
No appointments are necessary to have photos taken! The department members can show up at their own discretion whenever their weekend schedule allows!
It takes longer to get geared up (or dressed in Class A/B uniforms) than to get the picture taken! I like to get everyone in & out as quickly as possible so they can go on with their day.

Jim has been living in Mebane, NC since 2009, having been born and raised in Goshen, NY, and has been active within the fire serivce since the time he could walk through 2016
When he turned 17 in New York, he started his volunteer service with the Goshen Fire Department as a member of the Minisink Hook & Ladder Company for about 9.5 years. Along with other members of the GFD, he was one of the very first volunteer firefighters in New York & the US to be state-certified for FAST Team operations, under the training of FDNY firefighters within the GFD
Upon moving to Mebane in 2009, he joined the Mebane Fire Department and actively volunteered for 8 years. As time went on, due to time constraints between work, raising a family, and this photograhy business picking up, he made the decision to resign as not to "take up a spot" on roster
Although no longer volunteering, he has found a perfect mesh between his passion for photography and remaining involved, of sorts, within the fire service! He's extremely comfortable and feels at home working with fire departments and their members, creating one-of-a-kind department photos since 2014!
