PORTRAITURE
Am I the right portrait photographer for you?
I have been working as a professional photographer for more than a decade and take pride in my work. I edit each portrait to correct skin blemishes and imperfections for a flawless complexion. I also use editing software to give my images a “wow” factor. I produce portraits with true-to-life coloring and crisp clarity. I also love to create black and white portraits and occasionally portraits with a vintage vibe.
I do the majority of my outdoor portrait photography in the late afternoon and early evening when the lighting is mild and golden. I have a small studio for indoor portrait sessions where I use both natural and studio lighting. I also have portable lighting that I bring to outdoor sessions for an edgier, more dramatic look for some of my images.
I believe quality portraits are the treasured keepsakes of today and the heirlooms of tomorrow. They become some of our most valued possessions and are irreplaceable. During a portrait session, I strive to capture the essence of my subject and do my best to make my client feel comfortable. I’ve lost count of the clients who will tell me they (or their son or daughter) felt nervous and apprehensive, but the nervousness melted away and the session ended up being fun. And it should be fun! Professional photos should express a client’s unique individuality. The location, the props, the clothing—it should all come together to tell a story about who a person is.
Below you will find specifics about the sessions I offer. The cost of the session covers both the time spent taking the photos as well as the time I spend at my desk editing the images. I select the best images from each session and edit them. These edited images are the images you will receive on your flash drive.
SENIORS
I have photographed hundreds of high school seniors. I enjoy capturing their diverse personalities and producing images that will showcase who they are as they transition into adulthood and embark on new chapters in their young lives.
