It is relaxing and fun to take pictures with this photographer. He is a wizard in choosing your “best side”, the right angle for you and than doing the touchups according to your desires. I highly recommend him!

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Creating the moment is the most crucial element of capturing photos.
You want to look genuine, and asking people to smile doesn't convey that.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What mood or look are you wanting to bring out in your portraits? That will determine lighting options, clothing and even expression.
What do you love most about your job?
People! I don't shoot landscapes or birds, I only capture people's faces and this focused approach makes me good at it.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I love capturing people's faces on still images. Faces are so expressive, and minuscule changes can make the difference between nice and WOW!
Why should our clients choose you?
I coach my clients throughout the entire process. I give input in the clothing selection, makeup, hair and I constantly adjust their pose until we find the magic angle that works for them. Once that happens, I couch them on facial expression, so they don't have to worry about anything.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
No. We have to have the correct equipment to create amazing images. Most people's webcam will not do...
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
When COVID happened, we implemented steps to make sure we keep safe distance for our one on one meetings, and everything in the studio was cleaned after every session.
High-End Headshots
The most important part of a successful headshot is the expression. It is very important to us to produce quality work, and nailing this will be the bulk of the session. We will work together to achieve a relaxed and genuine smile, but we'll also go beyond that and explore numerous other expressions, until we find the one that is undeniably YOU! We are looking for images that convey confidence and approachability. How do I do that (you ask)? I will guide you throughout the session. You don't need to know anything about posing, expression, hair and make-up. I will be watching for stray hairs, bad posture, wrinkles in the garments... I will give you all the information you need and coach you until we get great shots.
