Testimonials
“Joe made us feel so at ease, as if he were part of our family, and it was just as easy to be ourselves with him around. He is a non-invasive in your space and does not make you feel uncomfortable when you are having the photos taken, it was such a relaxing beautiful time! I would recommend his services to anyone who is interested in an “IN TUNE” photographer. Like having your baby brother there taking photos & the photos were EXCEPTIONAL!
Great creative eye, he has what it takes!
THANK YOU Joe, you made our Vow renewal a precious memory we can revisit every time we look at your photos!

"Joe photographed me with my son at the beach, and did a phenomenal job of capturing a feeling of play in the sand and water. We were relaxed and just having fun, which is exactly the spirit I wanted for the pictures. He caught us having fun and captured it beautifully on film. Thanks Joe.” -- Aaron Dragushan

"Joe Philipson to me is, amazing. A joyful, skilled photographer. His personality and photos feel like the hawaiian sunshine. He makes you feel like you just got a new pair of sneakers ;-) all happy, bouncy and just right. He has happiness tucked away by the pocketfuls for friends and strangers a like. You will love this guy! His pictures show his thoughtfulness, curiosity, humor, intensity. His sharing and creativity draws people near. He is a genuine person. I'm so glad that I got the chance to meet him. Joe is by far, my favorite photographer... Why? because his pictures make me smile and they warm my heart. They are 100% original, 200% awe-wow driven. His photos are like caffeine to me, they make me physically react :) I'm constantly in "oh-wow" out loud when I see new pics up on flickr. He makes me want to grab my camera and hightail it to my favorite spots, or save my last penny for a new lens, or dream another great photographers dream. His pictures really show what's in Joe’s head, and they are something cool and contagious.
Recently Joe spent his afternoon after his long day of work, taking pictures for my family. He took the most beautiful and lively captured pictures of our daughter. I love them. My daughter loves "Big Guy Joe," she's two. And so do I. Our family loves this guy. He's been so nice to all of us. He's even invited us to his church on Sunday. I can't express how happy I am to know this photographer, and how even more excited I am to have gotten my daughters pictures taken by him. I hope that you have the opportunity to meet him, and I am highly recommending his work. Joe has a serious range of talent, including his wedding portraits, which if you look here at flickr, are very nice. He can do anything, but he can capture a moment with such a true sincerity, you'd think you were laughing or crying right there. So, lastly all I can say is: Can I get another cup of "joe" up in here? He's one of kind. I love you Joe, I'm a fan for life, thank you very much for sharing, taking pictures (Lenzie's especially) and now, get back to work and take a lot more, like asap!! lots of love, and good luck, Jen and family" - Jennifer Blackmon
