Introduction: I capture the moment. Many photographers will tout their passion for the art, their competitive pricing, their attention to quality, and their undivided service, as they tell you about why they should be your chosen photographer. I would think that as a consumer, you would expect nothing less from any photographer you hire, but I also think that you should expect more. "A picture is worth 1,000 words." How many times have we heard that in our life? Anyone with a camera can take a picture. Sometimes, they will even get lucky and snap a really good image, but when that special time comes, do you want to take such a chance? When I capture an image, I try to bring out who the person or persons are to let their emotion come to the surface. I am letting them express themselves in such a way that they tell a story through the image that is captured. These are treasured moments that can last a lifetime. Together, we can make the image say more than 1,000 words. I was always the person who never wanted my picture taken. If you don't believe me, ask my wife. I can relate to how you are feeling if that describes you or someone in your family. Through continuous dialog, I am able to get people to relax and actually enjoy the experience. For most of you, you haven't had your photo professionally taken since your high school graduation or wedding vows. For you graduating seniors, there is a very good chance you've never been professionally photographed. I am here to work with you in creating the most compelling images possible. My style of shooting is fun, laid back, but efficient. Communication is key prior to, during, and after the shoot. No matter what type of shoot you are planning, I am a firm believer in communication and setting clear expectations, and, above all, having fun in capturing this moment in time. It all starts with an email, so what are you waiting for?

FAQs

What types of customers have you worked with?
In this business, nothing is common....ha ha. I look at each client as an individual and never want to put them in a box. The wants and needs of one don't always match those of the previous client. Communication is key in photography as it is in our daily life. With good communication comes compelling images that will last a lifetime!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Do your research and don't just look at price! Anyone can pick up a camera and say they are a photographer. This is an investment you are making and like other things, you often times get what you pay for. Talk with the perspective photographer and do not just use email. Like we teach our kids to talk and not just use text messages, so much can be lost in translation. Give me a call, I always have time to talk with clients! Lastly, even though the photographer should know how to set up the shot, create your own shot list and give to your photographer in advance. I always want to hear my clients ideas and usually shoot those first, followed by the ideas I have. That particular pose is on your list for a reason.......you want it and you should be able to see what it looks like.
