I love photography. I love taking pictures, love editing pictures, love sharing pictures, I even love talking about pictures. If you're my friend or a member of my family, you already know that the camera is nearly permanently affixed to my face. I'm always looking for new and challenging directions in which to take my art and I love being given photographic tasks to perform. Do you have an event that you need shot? A wedding, fashion shoot, company picnic, etc? Send me an email at drayke@photosynthetique.com!

I will work with you to make sure that every image makes you happy, life only happens once!
