Trust me when I tell you that taking family photos is not my favorite, but with Tom, it's pretty great. He captured incredible shots of our family, including our two kids and even our dog, which is not easy! Tom was professional, patient, funny and cool and made the whole session feel easy. We actually had a good time and couldn’t be happier with how the photos turned out. Highly recommend MOT Photography for anyone in need of pictures!
