  Wedding Photography

  A wedding is one of the most memorable days in the lives of a couple. It is a day that will never be forgotten by you or the attendees to the ceremony and this is why regular pictures just won’t cut it. Wedding photography is a very specialized type of photography. A full wedding photography session package involves taking photographs of pre-wedding ceremony events, the wedding ceremony, and reception including all guests and participants. Wedding photography is very dynamic and involves more than simply snapping a few pictures. Only the highest quality and most original photographs are selected. Hundreds of photographs are taken in order to capture the most important moments. These moments are usually those that are of the bride and groom, the rest of the wedding party, and the family members. I take lots of candid shots as well, such as guests goofing around, the little girl dancing on her father’s feet, and if it happens, the bride smashing that cake into the face of her husband. These are many times the most treasured photographs from the entire wedding ceremony. Besides photographing people, I snap pictures of inanimate objects such as the chapel or venue’s architecture, the cake, the bride’s gown, and of course, the rings. In general closing, brides might want to consider a truly unique and memorable post wedding photography session called the “Trash the Dress” session after the wedding ceremony is over, and all important pictures have been taken with the dress. This usually involves the bride wearing her dress in unusual or even dirty environments and me photographing it. A bride might choose to have her photograph taken while frolicking down the street with boots on and a cow girl hat, working on a greasy tractor at the farm, or simply just laying in a field. The options are endless and I am completely open to suggestions that will speak to the bride’s true character.

  Headshot Photography

  Headshot Photography is generally a medium close-up image with the subject looking into the lens, used primarily for actors, models, singers, business, and social media profiles like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Online Dating Services. I'd also like to bring special attention to a special kind of headshot for actors and models known as "The Character Specific Headshot." Having worked in the entertainment business for many years, I understand the arduous task of auditioning . . . and it all starts with the Headshot. I’ve been involved both in front and behind the camera, including casting, and the one thing that can truly make an actor stand out is that his/her Headshot has character. It’s the Headshot that gets you in the door and earns you that opportunity to interview. From my experience, most Headshots use a similar format and they all tend to look the same; no one really stands out. This is why I believe that actors should, aside from the standard Headshot which does have its place in the industry, look at getting ‘Character Specific Headshots’ to add to their portfolio. If you’re submitting a Headshot for the lead role of a guy playing a Lumberjack, the business / clean cut looking Headshot probably isn’t the best option. How about the role of a deranged psychotic woman; that big smiling headshot probably won’t get you noticed as easy as a frenzied looking one will. The industry is changing. If you have a role you want to submit for and are unsure if the Headshots you have will work, or you want a new look to add to your portfolio, contact me and let’s take a look at your situation. We will work on the best idea for a new Headshot specific for what you’re after.

  Event Photography

  When it comes to having great photographs for your one-time special event, wedding, birthday party, or corporate/ holiday party, I'll be there, on time, rain or shine. Before the day of the event, I will be sure to collaborate and familiarize myself with what’s going to happen during the event so I can know the key moments that need capturing on film and/or video.

  Live performance / concert photography is truly exciting.

  Pet Photography

  Pets are family members, too; they fill our hearts with joy . . . and frustration at times LOL . . . but we enjoy having their pictures framed for our work desk or for the wall in our home! But, taking those pictures of your best friend has not proven easy, has it? Pets do not understand what we are trying to do and just won’t pose like we want them to for the camera! This is where I can help. Hiring a professional photographer does a couple things for you. One, it allows us to put our years of knowledge and understanding of portraiture into play for your investment and two, it allows you, the owner, to remain focused on garnishing the true character of your little loved one, which can be almost impossible while holding the camera at the same time. Some brief elements I incorporate with pet photography include using natural light - if possible, keeping those eyes sharp, using a macro lens, and most importantly . . . being patient. So, allow me to help you get the most out of your photo session with your pet. They’re so much fun!

  Commercial - Real Estate Photography

  Are you a real estate professional or homeowner selling a home? Professional architectural photography is vitally important to selling that piece of real estate and as the markets heat up, so does the demand for this need. If you’re trying to maximize your ROI, then be weary of the cheap photographers that operate in a high-speed/high-turnaround fashion, because good photography takes time. I strive to make that 1 million dollar house look like a 1 million dollar house. All of my photos are customized to the Interior and Exterior of the property. I will find the best angles and adjust furniture as needed; after all, this is going to be used for advertisement, so it needs to look its best. I will work with and may even add lighting. My post processing techniques will bring your property to life by capturing its very best features. Contact me with details so I can provide an accurate quote. I would be happy to work with you.

  Product Photography

  When it comes to marketing, especially ecommerce, the perceived value of your product and the trustworthiness of your business is most often than not, judged by the quality of your image branding. This means that to have that appeal means having high-quality product photography. For me, it's not the simple aesthetics. Showcasing your products with high-quality images can be the difference between a sale or no sale. This is most effective when distributing your products on marketplace websites such as Amazon, where they are displayed alongside those of your competitors. Allow me to collaborate with you and see how best to represent your products. This is definitely a relationship that can benefit the both of us and help grow our businesses.
