What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Let the photo tell a story, and allow it to show the essence of the subject.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What story do you want your photos to tell? What feels natural for you? How will we best capture the essence of who you are and the moment you're in?
What do you love most about your job?
I love capturing the essence of the life and world around me in pictures. As my logo states, "Essence Captured", a photo is not just a snapshot, but it tells a great story and captures the essence of the person or scene. I love being able to capture that story and essence, in a way beyond words.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I always loved looking at photos of cities and landscapes. I would find myself snapping a few shots myself. Eventually, I was inspired to take a photo class to learn more about the operations of a professional camera. This fun hobby eventually morphed into a full side business, as I was getting requests for me to capture family photos, portraits, and finally weddings. I really love how I am able to capture a special moment in people's lives as part of doing something I really love.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have a strong passion for the photos I take, and it will show in the pictures you receive from me. I don't see myself just as your photographer, but as your historian. Moments come and go, but the photos are what keep them alive forever, and that's what I will do for you. Also, I will work with your budget to keep my rates reasonable.
