We went to Frank several years ago for a big family photo. My mom really wanted to get a photo of the clan before anyone died so I arranged it. I called around and talked to a few different places, but ended up going with Frank. I'm not sure why. This guy is a smooth talker. He has a way of making you feel bad if you challenge the fact that his prices are quite high. I found out AFTER THE FACT, that had I gone with one of the photographers that a few friends of mine used, I could have spent WAY less AND I would have been able to keep the negatives.
I have to say, though, if you have the money, he does take lovely photos. But is it better than the next person?... not sure.
