Introduction: My work stands out because I've invested time and money in becoming educated in my field. I hold a BS degree from Brooks Institute of Photography and I continue to take courses whenever I can. I'm familiar with all the amazing products that my professional labs can offer and I have a great relationship with them. But really, I believe I stand out from the crowd because I have an artist's eye that sees light. I love dramatic, beautiful, soft, glowing light, and I love what that light does to people. The thing I like most about my job is that once I am hired to create a portrait, I have an opportunity to create a lasting memory for that person. If you think back to childhood memories, or memories of your own children at a certain age, they are often photographic. That's why families whose homes are destroyed by fire often bemoan the lost of their photo albums more than the lost of their furniture.

Veda really cares about her subjects, and really likes it when you have suggestions or props to use. She has been taking my (and m y family's) portraits for over 25 years and I always get beautiful heirloom photographs. She is a true artist.

I have had Veda do photography for my family for years. She has an amazing eye and always creates beautiful images. Highly recommend family photography. She is especially good with babies and teens.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The best understanding would probably come after our pre-shoot conference. I do charge $65 for a studio shoot or $95 for a location shoot.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First I talk with my customer and find out their wants & desires for what they envision as we shoot. I may offer suggestions, but the client's wishes definitely drives the shoot. Beforehand, I also try to get the client to determine what the end products are that he/she wants. They contacted me to take photos, but why? Do they want wall prints, story books, coffee table boxes, gifts for family or what? If I know they want large wall prints, I will shoot differently. If I know they want a book, I will also shoot differently. Knowing these details beforehand helps during the shoot. All the details settled, then we just go out and have a fun day shooting! I don't over schedule, so we have tons of time, we relax, and we just have fun! I post the images on my website and it's your choice from there!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes, definitely I keep trying to improve. I take at least one online class per year and participate in several educational conferences as well. The internet also helps me stay on top of my field.
