What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Having fun!
We all know how terrifying it can be to have a camera pointed at us (frozen deer-in-headlights result).
The key to a great photo is being relaxed, at ease, and having a good time during the photo-shoot.
A good photographer will be able to connect with their models and make them feel confident and beautiful.
Even if you are nervous or anxious, try and shake it off and "fake it til you make it!"
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Clear communication is the best way to getting photos that will make you happy for a lifetime!
I like to get to know my client's style and what they're looking for.
Here are some questions to ponder:
- who are these photos for?
(business vs. personal: I will approach a headshot for a business profile differently than a dating profile)
- where do you want to have to photoshoot?
(indoors in a studio, in your home/environment, outdoors)
- what type of photos do you like?
(I often create "mood boards" with my clients so we can share certain ideas or inspirations with each other)
- how do you want your photos delivered?
(I offer a full range of products, prints, albums, or digital files on a thumb drive/downloadable)
- when do you need the photos?
(I will always work with your deadlines and time constraints)
- what is your budget?
(I always aim to stay within realistic budget constraints while delivering the best quality and service)
I'm here to bring your photo-shoot ideas to life, so let's have a conversation.
What do you love most about your job?
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and I love creating a vibrant narrative through my images.
I absolutely love what I do; to me, there is nothing more satisfying than capturing raw beauty, emotion, and intensity.
I love the human connections that I make as a photographer...anyone can click a camera button, but to translate the skill, emotion, and depth really takes talent.
Why should our clients choose you?
Whether an athlete, actress, or parent, I always try to create a strong connection with my subjects and let their personalities shine through my images.
The difference is in truly caring for people and having a passion for the job.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I offer consultations via phone, text, email, or Zoom call.
The actual photos need to be done in-person though (much more helpful that way).
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Fully vaccinated here!
I am more than happy to wear a mask depending on your comfort level and needs.
Photo and Negative Scanning
So you found that box of old photos and negatives from Grandma's house...and now what?
If you're local to my location, drop off your haul and let me digitize them for you; you'll be able to pass on the newly digitized memories to your family and for future generations to enjoy.
Location Scouting
Want to find the perfect location for your shoot but don't have the time?
Maybe you're visiting from out of town and want to find that "secret spot" that's perfect for your photos?
Let me do the leg-work and plan the logistics for you.
