Bill did a nice job for us on a family photo shoot, which got complicated by the pandemic. We appreciated his considerable flexibility. I subsequently hired him to shoot a much bigger family event, and once again we were completely pleased with the results. He's reliable, professional, and flexible when circumstances dictate -- everything you want in a photographer. I will hire him again in a heartbeat.

An excellent experience. I was getting new headshots, "Post Pandemic" and found Mr. Lulow to be very professional, easy to work with and ready to go with great ideas. Getting headshots back the same day with a memory stick of shots enabled me to start submitting to casting companies right away.

Bill is a consummate pro with a wealth of experience in the field, and with the patience and insights necessary to share it all in digestible form. I hired Bill for photography lessons, and his hands-on, encouraging approach paid immediate dividends with my photography - as it will with yours regardless of your skill level. Highly recommend his work.

Five years ago, Bill Lulow took some exceptionally fine pictures for use on my business website. I returned to him recently for some informal, personal portraits. After an enjoyable photo shoot and some photo-editing afterwards, we had many very flattering images from which I chose three excellent ones. Although I did not intend to initially, I am sending these to my kids with the message: "Please save these for the distant future. I want you to remember me as more handsome than I actually am."

I was in quick need of really good headshots for my Linked In profile and new website. William was terrific -- professional, mindful of time, and truly talented. I never like pictures of me, and I love these. He has a really impressive portfolio, and when you work with him it shows.
