Storytelling Through a Lens


"A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense and is thereby a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety." ~ Ansel Adams

FAQ

This is my first photoshoot and I’m kind of nervous.

As your photographer, my job is to put you into a position where you look great, feel good, and have comfortable confidence. It may be satisfying to know that you have the choice of what photos you want the world to see and the ones you don't. So, let's have some fun and put you in the best possible light.

What should I wear?

It's always been my motto to never apologize for looking good. Your character should be reflected in what you wear. For beach shots, blue, tan, white, and even pastels work well. Coordination with others in your group really comes out in photos. On a hot day, these colors absorb less heat from the sun than darks like navy blue or black. Seasonal dress is good if you are intentional about upcoming holidays. If your photos are headshots for work, then your apparel should reflect your brand and the professional image you wish to portray.

How many pictures will I receive?

A one-hour photo session will involve generally about 400 photos being taken which will render about 30 deliverable photos after they've been through post-processing. Mini-session of 20 to 30 minutes will produce about 15 deliverable photos. The larger the group being photographed, the less of a chance everyone will be paying attention, looking, smiling, and not blinking.
