Drew is hands down the best photographer I have had in my life. I don't consider myself photogenic (AT ALL, lol) and he was wonderfully patient, allowing me to tweak photos until I had a professional headshot that I could be proud of! He was extremely encouraging and I absolutely LOVE seeing him when we have a photographer come in! 10/10 will continue to recommend Drew and all of his services to my friends, family and colleagues!

Drew has such a warm personality and creates the perfect environment for you to feel your best in! He is incredibly intentional during each session and the amazing photos that result are proof! Less

We commissioned Drew to take photos of our new facility on very short notice with our very tight timeline and restricted schedules. Drew was so easy to work with and we were absolutely blown away by the end result. We highly recommend 12 Eighty-One photography and should we have any additional photography needs for future expansions and projects, he will be our first call! Less

Drew is amazing to work with and is extremely good at what he does. He has been so generous with his time and skills in helping raise money for our medical school club and provide professional headshots to students. I recommend him to everyone that I know looking for all types of photos! Less

Had the pleasure of working with Drew on our law firm branding shoot. You can tell he takes pride in his craft and is very thoughtful about his work. He took the time to meet with us prior to the shoot and discuss our vision as well as scope out the best venue to make it happen. Very happy with the entire experience and our final photos. Thank you, Drew and Ashton! Less

Drew is absolutely amazing to work with. I am a potter and he invited me bring my wheel into his studio to take professional shots of me at my craft. Guided me through everything, and captured me at my craft in a way I did not expect. It was a lot of fun to work with him in coming up with the look that worked since I came into it without any plans at all. The images are timeless and I’ll be using them for my brand for many years to come. Beyond that though, when I found out my horse had cancer in 2022, I knew I would regret not getting some portraits. I reached out to Drew first because I love his work so much, and he came through 1000%. He captured my relationship with my buddy of 16 years, telling our story through images. This was an emotional shoot and he was such a great support to work with. If you’re needing a portrait photographer for ANYTHING, Drew is your guy in Joplin, MO. And he travels far and wide! (The guy loves to drive). Less
