About me: I like to think of myself as a storyteller. I am honored to get to see and capture all of the special moments of your life.
Here is a list of our services.....
Architectural Photography: Whether you own a historic building, state of the art manufacturing facility, custom built home, need to document a construction project or want to show off a newly remodeled interior, we can make your property look its best.
Landscape Photography: There is more to landscape photography than capturing scenic shots of mountains, sunsets and cityscapes. Landscape photography is useful for portraying gardens, parks, landscaping projects, outdoor renovations and in the real estate market.
Event Photography: Are you planning a large (or small) function or want to document a historical event, but do not want the photography handled in-house? Hiring an event photographer can be the best way to guarantee good photographs for events that cannot be repeated or where you have only one chance to get those memorable shots.
Portraits:Portraits taken with natural lighting can produce very interesting tones and colors and can impart a feeling of realism, as opposed to a studio where lighting can produce artificial looking results. All our portraits are taken on location.
Animal Portraits:You consider your dog, cat, bird, horse, or other pet part of the family. They give you the unconditional love that only an animal can give. They’re loyal, loving, forgiving, sensitive, and they’re always there when you need a friend. The memories you share with a pet are among the most precious you will ever make.
Environmental Portraiture: It's great to be green, but that is not what environmental portraiture is about. Environmental portraiture means taking photographs of people within the context of their environment, whether it is at the workplace, a place of relaxation, while playing a sport, engaged in a hobby or any other pursuit.
Model Portfolios: We work with models to help them develop their portfolios. Models starting out benefit from working with a wide variety of photographers in order to fully develop all their different looks and their style.
Stock Photography: Are you looking for a specific photo? We can create it for you.
Who I'd like to meet: The bride and groom have so much going on that they
often don't get to see some of the most touching moments of the day. After all a wedding is a celebration, a time for family and friends to come together to celebrate your happiness.
My job is to make sure that you can open your album in 20 years from now and remember all the details of your special day. I find that the most effective way to accomplish this is by combining all of the traditional shots with a photojournalistic flair, while mixing in some special designs that can only be accomplished with digital photography. Make sure you get the most for your money. On average I make about $20 dollars an hour for doing a wedding.
The only reason that I tell you this is for you to have a better understanding of exactly what you get for your money. Typically I will meet with you for at least an hour prior to the wedding to discuss what your ceremony is going to consist of and any special photos you want taken. The day of the wedding I usually arrive at the church two hours before the ceremony to try to get as many of the formal shots out of the way as we can to make it easier to get the rest immediately following the ceremony. I stay until the last guests are leaving the reception.
This usually winds up being around 8 hours. When I take pictures of a wedding and reception, I will often take between 800 and 1000 images. I will spend 40 to 50 hours going thru the images eliminating the duplicates, someone's eyes are closed or maybe group shots where no one was looking at the camera. I also color balance adjust brightness and contrast for every single image to ensure the best final quality that you can have. This is very important when you are taking pictures in a low light setting and is only possible with digital images.
I will save all photographs on cd and give you copyrights to your images. This is one of the biggest advantages to you with a digital format.an
