Brett made our family photo session so easy and fun. Our almost 10-month old daughter was not in her best mood during the shoot but his camera captured her beautifully regardless. Unlike our wedding photos, it only took him a few days to setup online gallery so we were able to share the photos with family and friends right away. Not only photos but experience itself became such a wonderful memory as parents! Highly highly recommended!

I think of myself as someone who doesn't photograph well, unless I don't know I'm being photographed. Brett's ability to engage me in lively conversation while photographing me made it possible to relax and even enjoy the experience, which was the last thing I imagined going into the shoot. The final result is I have terrific photos for my website. Though I have limited experience with professional photographers it seems very clear that Brett is an unusually gifted photographer.

Deutsch photography worked an event we recently hosted. They were fantastic! The conversations in the lead-up were thought-full and timely, Brett was on-time and completely a professional the whole time, and most importantly the photographs are AMAZING!
In this Social Media driven world, if your event is not photographed, it did not happen. Having a photographer that you can trust to get the moments that tell the story of your event is truly priceless. Thank you!

I had a wonderful time working with Brett, who generously helped me with my photos without any extra charge. Brett was very approachable and kind, making me feel comfortable right away. He made the whole process super fun, even though I'm usually shy in front of the camera.

Brett's skills are amazing, and the photos turned out great. I highly recommend Brett to anyone looking for fantastic headshots or to capture special moments.

Thank you so much, Brett! :)

I was looking for new headshots and portraits. My focus was having photos that were more reflective of me and my personality. Thankfully, I met Brett and Sherri through LinkedIn and then, in-person, at an event of a mutual friend. Simply put, Brett is an excellent photographer. In addition to his photography skills, his approach and personality created a comfortable atmosphere which resulted in photos more reflective of myself. I highly recommend Brett and Sherri at Deutsch Photography. Thank you both!
