Common misconceptions about David Dale Photography:

1. We're "too expensive." People attribute quality with price, so they assume they can't afford us, when all in all we're more affordable than many of the other photography studios in town. Here at David Dale Photography, we offer superior quality at a reasonable price!

2. We're "too busy." Because we've been a leader in the photographic community since 1978, people seem to think that we're too busy and don't even bother trying to book an appointment with us. David Dale Photography welcomes old AND new clients, and will do whatever it takes to book you an appointment that fits YOUR scheduling needs best!

Thanks so much for sending the picture. You did an outstanding job with a rather shabby subject. I am glad that you were able to see and enjoy the Oregon game. It was nice to make your acquaintance. Best Wishes - Tom Osborne

I have used your photography services for a number of years both personally and professionally. Whether it has been family pets, professional portraits of myself or portraits used to promote programs at the shelter, I have always been extremely satisfied. The quality of your work is immediately evident by the proofs and fully reveals itself when the actual print is seen. As a client I have enjoyed the relationship that occurs as you perform your work. Your patience with animals is wonderful and your sense of humor in dealing with people makes the experience of working with you a joy. You are the epitome of professionalism in your field. - Robert A. Downey, Capital Human Society
