Hello! I'm Justin Tobin
I am based out of Phoenix, AZ. I have been doing photography as a hobby for close to 10 years and began to do it professionally in the last 3 years. I have photographed events, weddings, couples & engagements sessions, graduation sessions, and other styles of portraits. I also enjoy photographing both nature and urban environments.
I enjoy photography as a side gig - I also have a full-time position in the tech industry, working in product management. As such, I prefer to keep photography as something fun for me as well as my clients. I deliver the high-quality photographs you'd expect from a professional while maintaining a light-hearted and personal approach to doing business.

Frequently Asked Questions
When are you typically available?
I have a full-time job with a standard M-F schedule so I am generally available in the evenings and on weekends.
Do your packages include prints, albums, etc.?
No - I provide you with a full digital album that you can keep and use to post online, share with family & friends, as well as print or order albums. You'll often get a better deal than I can provide for you if you get the photos printed through third-parties such as large retailers or online vendors.
For my portrait session, am I allowed to bring multiple outfits?
Yes! I don't impose any limitations on outfit changes. Just keep in mind that changing takes extra time and may cut into session time. It is typical to have 2 or 3 outfits planned - you can also utilize accessories to change things up quickly such as a jacket or a change of shoes, for example.
Do you travel?
I am willing to travel! I consider in-town to be a 30-mile radius of downtown Phoenix and will not charge travel fees within that distance. The out-of-town fee will vary depending on where you're looking to go. Additionally, if the trip requires flights and/or hotels, you would be responsible for the cost of my travel accommodations as well as a per diem for food. If you're interested in taking a trip (or flying me out to you if you're not local to AZ), let's get in touch and I can give you a quote after discussing the details!
Do you do videography?
I do not specialize in videography. Depending on the scope of the request, I may be able to incorporate some light videography into a session, such as some short clips to complement a brand or real estate shoot. That said, I am not booking purely video sessions at this time but am open to discussing it as an add-on if you are booking a brand or real estate photography session.
Do you do weddings or other events?
While I have previously photographed events and weddings and enjoyed doing so, they are a very unique type of booking that I am not able to accommodate at this time. A well-shot wedding/event requires a ton of planning and often the need to bring another photographer along as a second shooter to ensure full coverage. Truthfully, as a photographer-on-the-side, I simply don't have the bandwidth to take on weddings and events. I do, however, know some excellent wedding photographers and am more than happy to get you in touch with them.
What if I want to book a session that doesn't really fall under these categories?
Let's get in touch! I'm happy to work with you to understand what you're looking for, if I can accommodate your request, and how much it would cost. If it is something that I am ultimately unable to accommodate, I can help you find another photographer better suited for what you're looking for.
