A Life Behind the Lens
Cliff Welch has been a photographer since 1983, building a career that has spanned portraits, weddings, sports, concerts, editorial work, and published photography. Originally a writer who needed to photograph performers for his articles, Cliff discovered that photography challenged and inspired him even more—and he has been behind the camera ever since.
Beyond photography, Cliff spent more than 13 years fostering beagles and helped 214 dogs find their forever homes through the rescue he volunteered with. That same patience, care, and connection shape the way he works with every client.

Frequently Asked
What types of photography do you offer?
I specialize in a wide range of professional photography services, including weddings, engagements, family portraits, professional headshots, pet photography, sports photography, editorial assignments, and celebrity & concert photography. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, updating your professional image, or documenting an important event, I create timeless photographs that reflect your story with authenticity and care.
How far in advance should we book?
I recommend booking your session as early as possible, especially for weddings and peak seasons. Portrait sessions are typically best reserved 2–6 weeks in advance, while weddings often book several months ahead. If you’re looking for a last-minute appointment, feel free to reach out—I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule.
Do you photograph weddings and events?
Yes. Wedding photography is one of my specialties, and I also photograph engagements, private events, corporate events, concerts, sporting events, and editorial assignments. With more than 40 years of professional experience, I understand how to capture meaningful moments naturally while allowing your event to unfold without interruption.
Are headshots available on location?
Absolutely. Professional headshots can be photographed at your office, workplace, business location, outdoors, or another setting that best represents your personal brand. I also work with individuals, executives, entrepreneurs, and corporate teams to create polished, natural-looking headshots that make a lasting impression.
How will we receive our images?
Once your photographs have been professionally edited, you’ll receive access to a secure online gallery where you can easily view, download, and share your high-resolution images. Your gallery makes it simple to enjoy your photographs on any device, order professional prints if desired, and preserve your memories for years to come.
Let’s Create Something Meaningful
Whether you’re planning a wedding, updating your headshots, or looking for portraits with personality, I’d love to hear more about your vision.
