About Felipe

Felipe Sanchez moved to the united states from Colombia when he was 11 years old. After many years of interest in photography, he began an internship with Petruzzo Photography in 2008. While carrying around camera bags, light stands and reflectors to countless weddings and portrait sessions, he worked hard and became proficient with his equipment, with his personal style and interacting with all kinds of different customers. He has an especially notable knack for working with children.

In late 2009, Felipe gradually made that crucial jump from assistant, to photographer; taking on his own clients with Petruzzo Photography and consistently producing excellent results. Felipe continues to hone his craft and grow, both as an artist and a professional. He never stops learning. His commitment to consistently growing and refining his skills, as well as his warm nature, his humility and his fun personality make him ideally suited to his work as a professional photographer.

Felipe currently resides in Crofton, Maryland. When he’s not shooting or editing, he’s working on an associates degree in business. He is an important cog in Petruzzo Photography’s business, and is gradually taking a bigger and bigger roll in day to day operations. He enjoys music from Gorillaz, Sufjan Stevens and Iron & Wine. He’s a huge fan of Television shows like Arrested Development and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Felipe is often assigned to portrait sessions, and is also available by specific request.

Feedback About Felipe

Thanks so much! Looks like we have a bunch of great ones to choose from! Felipe did an amazing job!

Felipe did a wonderful job, and made the whole experience very enjoyable for me. Since I’m not very comfortable in front of the camera (I’m usually behind it), that’s quite an accomplishment in and of itself. He’s a very talented young man. I would happily engage him again if I needed additional photos.

Hi William (& Felipe)

Me and Trav wanted to thank you guys so much for the session on Monday. We had such an awesome time! It was so much more fun that we thought it could be, and we can’t wait to see the pictures that came from it. We left you guys feeling so happy and excited about not only the portrait pictures, but the experience we can now look forward to having on our wedding day and those pictures. We feel like our folks/friends will love you.

Hi William and Felipe,
To piggy back on Jeremy’s email– we really loved the photos that Felipe took, especially some of the family photos in the big leaf pile, closeups of me and my mom, and Jeremy and Isaac sitting together– and of course the “touchdown” picture of Isaac.

Felipe, you captured some great expressions– and the family picture that we’re going with for our Christmas card is one of the last shots you took– thank goodness we sat down for that one!! :) and with dusk in full swing, glad that was enough detail to work with.

It was a real pleasure working with you, and Felipe– you did a great job entertaining Isaac during the photo shoot too!

I love the pictures! Felipe did a wonderful job with the lighting, and he really captured the kids’ spirit in a great way. Thanks so much.

I think they came out great, I love the pictures of me and Tyler. Since I always take the photos in the family, I wanted tyler to know what his mom looked like when he was young :) Tyler and I both loved working with Felipe, and Tyler gave him a big hug at the end of the session. He was very warm and friendly, and we had nice conversation throughout the appointment, which obviously helped him in taking good pictures. And he very politely listened to my bragging of my son, which is a bonus!
