My husband and I have never had a professional photography shoot prior to this one. David really exceeded our desires. He was very personable and really took the time to ensure the photos were everything we wanted. He shared many of the photos with us as he was taking them, by letting us see from the camera. I cannot wait to see the edits and final pics. I know they are going to once again surpass our desires! Will definitely book with David again!

Details: Maternity portrait • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  Please visit my website for pricing information.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  Some assignments are fairly cut and dry. Architectural photography for example. When people are involved, it is important to consider each other's personality. I want to hear your ideas and desires as to your photography goals. My work is to be there to create the "end result" of concept. I will provide suggestions, guidelines and timelines for weddings, etc. but ultimately, it is through our working together before the camera is turned on that will achieve the best results.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  Photography education can be both formal and informal. My first photography education was in high school. It was the days of light meters and dark rooms, chemicals and rolls of film. Professionally though, I have engaged other professional photographer educators to provide specific education regarding both photo taking and photo editing. Additionally, as a working professional photographer, my ongoing education continues through both working in the field as well as subscribing to various educational programs available online.
