You may have noticed that we use the word "we"in all of our statements. That is because we realize that photography is a group effort. Lem Fillyaw, although he has been serving the photographic service community for the past 13 years could never do it alone.
Melanie, his wife of 12 years has been his indispensable assistant in photography and life. His photo assistant Brian Oberstadt of Oberstadt Photography has been his protege for nearly 9 years. Together this team makes up a force that not only has a passion for photography but a heart for serving our clients over and above expectations.
The last bit of the "we" are our clients. Without them our subjects would be fairly limited. We would like to thank all of you who have used our services. We would like to be proactive and thank all of you who will choose our services.
Those clients range from small private portrait settings to large corporate dinners for Prudential Insurance. Small intimate weddings of 50 or less to major concert events like Cheap Trick or Flyleaf are not beyond our scope of coverage
