Who Hires a Photographer?

Who Hires a Photographer?

We all love to take photos. I see photos being taken every place I go. It may be at the market when we see someone snapping a picture of a food package that struck a funny cord or at the beach when families want to remember a beautiful day as one. With so many camera phones in the hands of teens and young adults, photos are being taken by the thousands every minute. Some news stories are putting the numbers even higher. With close to 300,000 photos being added to facebook every minute. That is a lot of memories and not all should be saved.

That is why myself and many others are here. To make the memories that should be saved. To capture faces the way they should be remembered. In the right light in the right way. With angles and backgrounds that add drama to a scene to draw the viewer in closer and to tell a story. We need to create memories of more then just a snap shot or screen grab. Portraiture that is worthy of hanging in the space that you live for years to come only to be add to with updates and new family additions. When a child is born or a wedding has brought two families together.

Who hires a photographer? We all need one. Even the pro photographer will hire out another to capture unique images of their own memories or moment in time. Using the camera to tell a story and the lens to draw in the light. In the same way a photographer tells others stories, you as a consumer can aid in this story telling with the willingness to be posed in a way that not only encapsulates your true being, but to also tell of a chapter that is yet to come or is being writing as the photos take shape. So when you do need some family, senior or wedding portraits think about the professionals in the field of photography. If you think about it, you would only have the best person for the job to work on your home or car, right? So don’t think for a minute that it is any different with your life’s memory. Hire a professional photographer that will do the jobs you need done. In fact contact me today to set up a time for us to chat about your next set of family or wedding portraits.  Contact page

Selfie the Word for 2013

Selfie the Word for 2013

As 2013 was coming to a close I had found out that “selfie” was Websters word of the year. I had to do a few to close out the year. Here is two from my time sitting at home and playing in the light. I am sitting in front of my black and tan background with one off camera flash to my right. I have set my ten second timer and sit waiting. I took a number of shots of myself that night. It was great to take my time and make a portrait that speaks without saying a word.

I love when my family lets me do a portrait shoot with them. They do sit in for me to test new lighting gears or ideas. It is always so good when they take part in a real photo shoot. Here is my girls. We had shoot some photos of a family with my girls there watching on. After they both were happy to step in and have some shots taken.

Getting Creative as a Team

 When I first start to get clients with my photography I was so new to portraits that I was only shooting what I knew. As I developed my craft and learned more about light and using lighting to create an image that was more dramatic or smooth. I would push myself to step outside my comfort zone and try knew things. This past month I did something I have not done before. I had my wife Dayna join me on a shoot. She had some creative ideas that I may not have thought of. It turned a great shoot into an epic one. This is one image from that shoot. Follow this link to see more photos from this shoot.

Get in the shot

You need to use your camera and learn how to use it. I love the self timer for many reasons. One of the best features in almost every camera out there today is the self timer. This way you can get in the photograph with your family. Just set up on a tripod or a low wall car roof or what ever will let use this feature capture the memory. One tip is that you want to make sure you frame the shot well and take the time to get every one else ready and let them know were you will stand so that your space is free when you are ready. Self portrait
