FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
The professional photographer must keep abreast of the newest trends in the art of photography and just as important the business of photography. Our MnPPA and other associations hold regular conventions and seminars featuring some of the most successful photographers and business owners in the industry. At these events, we learn the new trends in the technical photography world as well as all the newest marketing strategies to retain and gain new clientele to grow our business. We also have online tutoring that teach us new graphic arts techniques, business and marketing, to keep us informed on how others are achieving success.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I am quite diversified in my studio. I excel in Weddings, Grad portraits, children, family photos, large groups, team and sports photos, and lately professional business portraits for corporate web sites. I do in-studio shoots, or I am totally mobile with on location portrait studio backdrops and lighting. I do corporate event photography and can print on location if desired. I do church directory family portraits, and I have a number of pre-school clients as well.
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
An old friend of mine has a 12 year old Wire Hair dog who is dying of CHF. She is so special to him that we did a portrait so he would be able to remember his wonderful pet after she is gone. She was the sweetest thing and you could see the love she had for her master whenever she heard his voice. My friend does not know how long she will live as her condition is worsening. If you think of someone you love, pet or human who is getting to that stage in their life maybe you should consider a portrait of that person before it is too late. Just saying!
