Hi, I’m David – The Guy Behind the Camera

I believe the best photos don’t just capture a moment—they tell a story. That’s why my goal is to create images that feel natural, timeless, and authentically you.

I grew up in Long Island, NY, went to film school, and fell in love with visual storytelling. Now, I live in Bethlehem, PA, with my wife, our two boys, and our rescue Catahoula, Daisy Mae. Whether I’m photographing a milestone celebration, a branding session, or a corporate headshot, my priority is making sure you feel comfortable, confident, and seen—because that’s when the best photos happen.

"A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people." — Annie Leibovitz

Let’s create something unforgettable — together.

FAQs

(Portraits, Families, & Celebrations)

  • We’ll photograph you at the location of your choice — your home, a park, downtown, or anywhere meaningful to you.

    • Travel within 20 miles of Bethlehem, PA 18017 is included.

    • Beyond that, please purchase additional travel miles when booking (see Pricing Page).

    • Some public places or businesses may require permits for photography. If you’re unsure, just leave the location blank during booking — we’ll discuss it during your pre-session consultation.

  • Yes! In-home sessions are some of our favorites. They capture you in your natural environment and allow for more relaxed, candid photography.

  • For sessions with 7 people or more, there’s an additional $50/hour fee. Larger groups require more time to pose, capture group shots, and edit to make sure everyone looks their best.

  • At Frames and Photons, we believe in keeping the process simple and client-friendly. After your session, we’ll curate a proof gallery of the best images — removing duplicates, test shots, and anything that doesn’t meet our quality standards.

    From this gallery, you’ll select the number of photos included in your package. Once you’ve made your choices, we’ll deliver your fully edited, high-resolution images.

    If you fall in love with more than what’s included, you’ll have the option to purchase additional edited photos. This way, you get both quality control and the freedom to keep more favorites.

  • Yes. You’ll receive a document granting you full copyright, which means you may print your photos anywhere you’d like. Please note: while you own your photos, we maintain the right to use them for marketing purposes unless you specifically opt out.

  • Our style is primarily candid, documentary-style photography — capturing real life as it happens. We do occasionally offer studio sessions. Sign up for our newsletter and follow us on social media so you don’t miss announcements. You may also request a studio session; availability depends on studio scheduling and does carry an additional cost (studio rental, lighting, props, etc.).

  • All sessions include a 20-minute pre-session consultation call after booking. During this call we’ll cover:

    • Location ideas

    • Outfit options

    • Props or accessories

    • Any considerations regarding the people being photographed (accessibility, special needs, etc.)

    If you’d prefer to chat before booking, we’re happy to schedule a call first.

  • Yes! You’re welcome to change outfits during your session. Please note that changing time comes out of your booked session — no extra time is added. Some outdoor locations may not have changing facilities, so plan accordingly.

  • Yes! We love our clients and believe referrals are the best compliment. Personal clients receive discounts on future sessions when referring a friend.

  • For most personal sessions, we bring two photographers fully equipped. This provides better coverage and gives you more variety in your final photos. Sometimes we’ll even share fun “b-roll” or outtakes as a bonus — these do not count toward your included photo total and come at no charge.

    Please note: while we often work as a two-photographer team, we do not guarantee a second shooter unless it’s booked as an add-on. If you’d like to guarantee two photographers — especially for events or larger groups — we recommend purchasing the Second Shooter Add-On.
