I HATE HAVING MY PICTURE TAKEN––WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Truthfully, it’s the most frequent statement people make when we first meet. I treat your concern with compassion, sensitivity, courtesy, understanding, and expert guidance. It’s my job to make you and others look good, and to feel good about our session together. Most times people have had poor experiences with previous photographers short on people skills and know-how. My camera and I are your advocate, not adversary.Photographing people has always been, and always will be an enjoyable practice for me. I coach, encourage, support, and work my utmost to make you comfortable with the picture taking process and get first-rate results. We engage in a collaborative effort together, and I encourage you to talk about how you feel as we look at the shots on the back of the camera. We work to identify the most flattering expression and lighting. A good photo is not blind luck, it is not a 50/50 chance, nor accidental. A skilled practitioner makes all the difference in the world, no matter what the profession is. I don’t settle for second best!
