My name is Nakean, and I'm a Seattle native. I've always had an undying love for nature. With photography I've attempted to show nature in new light; its beauty alongside our own. The best photography studio is all around us. We have the Olympics, the Cascades, lakes, rivers, and beautiful trees in every direction.

My studio is 100 percent portable and I want to keep it that way. I'm a strobist, which means I have portable lighting and can bring studio quality lighting anywhere I go.

A person is not an isolated being and should not always be photographed as one.

Question and answer

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Do your research and find out if a photographer's style is on par with your own. Make sure they have their own unique style as every person is unique and deserves to be represented as so.
I'm passionate about my work as a photographer and it really shows in my work. Anyone can take a picture these days but capturing the essence of an individual is an entirely different task.
More than anyone's talent to take pictures the skills of communication and conversation come first. Getting a photo taken should be an enjoyable experience and I strive to make it so.

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. I have portable lighting and can bring studio quality lighting anywhere I go. I can transform your living room into a full blown studio.
THERE ARE NO HIDDEN PRICES. My pricing is transparent. You know exactly what your getting before you even schedule the photo shoot. No where else will your find someone who is willing to haul the amount of pro equipment I can and will bring to your doorstep.
I understand the importance of getting the image correct in the camera. You'll never hear me say, "I can take care of that later in Photoshop". This is not to say that I can't! My editing is a notch above the rest. I understand that you can make a decent photo good but, more importantly, I understand that it takes a great photo to make an amazing portrait!

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. I love that I get to meet new people every day. The challenge to photograph people or places is always different every time. I love the look on my clients faces when they see the finished product.

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. Can you photograph at my house?
All of our equipment is portable and travels well
how do you deliver studio quality work outside the studio
We have three lights we take out to shoots. They are batter powered strobes/flashes that can be triggered via a wireless remote. We generally shoot using large 46" umbrellas to achieve that soft lighting you see in every studio.

Is editing included in your pricing?
With a standard portrait sitting we edit 5 photographs. There is no additional charge for these edits.
What do you mean by edited photographs
This is 35 to 50 percent of the work. Once the images are downloaded onto our workstation, each edited photograph is color corrected, balanced, checked for blemishes, etc. Most companies charge at least 25 dollars to edit any photographs as in depth as we do.
