Ben Krantz Studio is the best in town at any price! Whether you need professional headshots or adorable family photos, Ben is the man for you. Ben is reliable, warm, and just an overall great guy. His shots are all incredible and he is able to capture the best moments in any setting. I've gone to Ben for engagement photos, my wedding, and photoshoots with my family. I can't recommend him enough!
I’ve now booked 2 headshot sessions with Ben. As an actor, there’s nothing more nerve wracking for me than having to get new headshots. The entire time I felt completely comfortable, at ease, had a great shoot and ended up with fantastic commercial and theatrical headshots. Ben is wonderful to work with, captures you at your best, and is prompt and professional. I can’t say enough good things about my experiences with him and can’t wait to book my next shoot!
Ben was a pleasure to work with. He assessed my needs, was thoughtful in his approach and made me feel comfortable immediately. The process was efficient and painless. My photos turned out great! I highly recommend.
Ben shot our "vow renewal" (like a wedding). He was very helpful in a pre-event call with a number of suggestions and getting details about the event. And on the big day, he took great candids (our favorite) as well as group/set up shots. He is very professional with excellent follow-through. I'd strongly recommend him to anyone, for any live event (and probably any photography at all)!!
I’ve seen Ben’s work out in the theatre world for years, so when it was time for new head shots, I knew he was the one I wanted to work with. And yet, the experience still exceeded all expectations! During the shoot, Ben kept the vibe chill and fun, which helped me to relax and not stress what I was doing in front of the camera. I brought several outfit options and he helped me with selecting what would work best, then took me to several great spots around his studio to have a variety of backgrounds. My favorite part was after the shoot, when we sat down to proof the pictures together. I’ve never met a photographer who does that right on the spot, and it made the process of selecting my favorite shots to be retouched SO much easier (I would have overthought it for HOURS on my own). I really wanted a good mix of pictures to use for both theater & my coaching business, and Ben delivered with an *abundance* of beautiful shots that genuinely feel like me. His turnaround was lightning fast and I had my full gallery and retouched shots in less than a week! The response to my pictures has already blown me away, I’m so excited to put them to work :)
