FAQs
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Getting your photograph taken can be daunting for some people. Growing up we get accustomed to taking school pictures every year. Then, after we leave grade school, we stop getting professional pictures done. Why is that? Why not keep a memory of what you look like every year? What will you show your kids and grandkids and great grandkids one day - an iPhone selfie.. a Facebook post? Professional photographs are a worthwhile and timeless investment! Many people tell me, when I ask to take their portrait, "oh, I don't look good right now," "I need to get my hair done," "I want to lose 10lbs first." Stop stalling! Do it now! Don't wait until it's took late! Your photograph will look amazing, trust me. I promise :)
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Technology today has become increasingly available to the public and I think that's wonderful! Anyone can go into an electronics store or shop online for high quality cameras, and that's great. But a great photograph is not taken by a great camera. It's taken by an artist. A photographer who has studied the craft, understands the technical aspects of lighting, who can utilize the full capabilities of pro-cameras, and most importantly, who has a vision! That is what makes a great photo. It's not easy, and the craft takes a lot of hard work, time, investment, and skill to master. All of those factors (plus many many more) are all included in the cost of hiring an excellent photographer. You get what you pay for, and there is no short cutting a good photograph. Why would you want to short cut the preservation of your memories anyway?
