BUSINESS PHOTOGRAPHY
You want your images to be clear, strong, and intentional because you want them to ignite interest from your potential clients. First impressions count, and people's first impression of you often comes from your online presence. Any photo of you needs to communicate what you bring to your work, for instance, a relaxed confidence that tells those who might collaborate with you that you know your stuff and you’ve "got this.”
Of all the desirable qualities we might wish to convey, perhaps the most significant is simple trustworthiness. Everything good between people is built on trust. To bring this out so others can see it in you, I facilitate a process that allows your essential honesty, integrity, and strength to come out into the full light of day without apology. How will we get there? By trusting each other, of course! Hey, we’ve got this!

Lifestyle
First, we help you organize your shot list to maximize the shoot's output. On-site, we arrive with equipment plus assistants and H&M as needed. Later, we will stay with you to adjust and retouch, leaving you with a library of unique images for now and future needs.

Books, Food, & More
I do photography for books, food images for restaurants, and sometimes both together. I am also drawn to product shoots where people are part of the image. Let us demonstrate what we have accomplished with our other clients, and then we can discuss what we can create together.

We will first consult by email, phone, Zoom, or in person as needed to answer any questions you may have and give you advice on how to prepare. This includes hair, makeup, and clothes, as well as the mood and style that would work best for you. We also have guides that we will send you. Most importantly, we will help you become as clear as possible as to what you want the images to do for you and others!

Yes! You should see the options when you get your invoice for us, and will be able to see the options before you commit. This is processed through Square, the same service we have used for invoicing for years.

In professional digital photography, the final decisions on lighting, color balance, and so on are often made after the shoot from the raw digital files in postproduction. Initially, we adjust the whole image file rather than retouch it, and we usually do this before putting our client's images up in an online gallery.
After you select your images, we do retouching, including brightening the eyes and teeth a little, reducing wrinkles on clothes, especially the edges, a little control on hair, adjusting profile, and so on. Beyond retouching, if there are any obvious distracting details in the background, we often remove them. In case, by request, we can change the backgrounds, for instance, to harmonize with other headshots on a company's team page.
At a fixed hourly rate, we can do almost anything else, including moving people in or out of an image, changing the color of clothes, and doing whatever you can imagine.
Remember, you're in the driver's seat. You have the power to decide how much or how little postproduction work we do. We're here to meet your requests and ensure you're completely satisfied with the results.

For all Business photography, you will receive your images by digital download. We'll send you a link.
For Personal Portraits, we mail your prints as well as sending you a link for the web-ready versions. We also include high-resolution versions of your images so you can make your own prints.

It is always worth repeating: Be as clear as possible about what you wish your images to do. Everything else will follow.

Don't hesitate to contact us by phone, email, or text. Or, even better, set up a meeting with us on Zoom. There is no obligation or sales pitch. We are a good resource even if you decide to go in another direction.
