Introduction: I listen to the customer! It sounds simple, but you must have a really solid understanding of what the customer is trying to capture. It's more than poses or backdrops, it's what the images are for, who will see them? What message are you trying to send? I know several photographers that show up with the same 5 poses for every shoot. That's just not going to work for me, every person is unique, every session should be also. It goes without saying I love photography, but knowing I'm providing an image that goes beyond their expectations is the real reward for me. It just fuels me to keep honing my skills as the industry changes.

I had some head shots done by Paul Ledford. He made me feel at ease the whole time. I usually am shy getting my picture taken, but not this time. Paul Ledford made the experience fun and enjoyable.

Our pictures from our wedding are priceless! Paul captured moments that we will treasure forever! He is easy to work with and goes out of his way to provide the best experience possible. I love his candid shots! They have the perfect balance between broad views and close-up moments. His photos allow me to relive our wedding day over and over!

Paul, was outstanding! He asked alot of questions to make sure he was prepared. He showed up early and the shots were just what i wanted. I would highly recommend him.

Working with Paul was an absolute pleasure! I needed some new professional headshots for my business website and LinkedIn profile, and couldn't be more pleased with the quality of the photos. First time I did a photoshoot and Paul made it easy, fun, and captured just what I envisioned. Thanks so much!

Besides getting head shot photos that look great, Paul was also very timely, professional, friendly, and helpful when I needed assistance with the downloads!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Headshots are quoted based on the final number of images you want edited. I can offer hair and makeup services, but these are billed as an extra and by the hour. Events are quoted by the hour with a 4 hour minimum. Portraits are quoted based on where, how long and number of people.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First thing I like to do is exchange email and phone numbers so we can discuss the project in depth. The better I understand what you're looking for the easier it is for me to provide it.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied General/Commercial Photography from 1981-1983. I continue with several online courses mostly for lighting, studio work, and headshots. I'm also very active with several local photography groups and participate in monthly workshops.
