Professional Portraits for Businesses and Families

Some people wonder about the role of portraits in an age when photography has never been easier. Here’s my philosophy:

There’s a difference between snapping a picture and taking a photograph — especially a portrait. Pictures are quick. Portraits are deliberate. A picture captures what you see. A portrait is a way of seeing. Lighting, composition, quality — those are the characteristics that define portraiture. It’s the same as the difference between humming a tune and singing an aria. The details matter.

For your business, portraits are a way to connect a face with a name and humanize your company’s image. They remind your customers that behind the emails, invoices, and contracts there are living, breathing people working hard to meet their needs.

For your family, a portrait is a way to capture and preserve the uniqueness of someone you love at a specific point in time. A good portrait is a prompt that will call to mind your feelings for a person far into the future. When done well, it’s a visual fingerprint that shows someone at their best. That’s my goal with every portrait.

My Process

My approach is to make the portrait session as easy for you as possible. I bring my equipment to your location and set up a professional ad-hoc studio that won’t disrupt your home or business. After our session, I can deliver your portraits in one of two ways:

  1. Web- and print-ready images on CD
  2. High-quality prints
