Introduction

I enjoy creating a photo journalistic look to my event photography. My goal is to have my work tell a story about the event that I am shooting. With a little experimentation, I can come up with fun and creative shots that make your special occassion that much more memorable. For portrait sessions I work with the customer to initially have them be comfortable when being photographed, ultimately aiming to capture their natural personality. I like to use the natural beauty of the outdoors whenever possible but can create a studio environment easily at any location by bringing pro-lighting and a variety of backdrops. Depending on the type of portrait session I will sometime recommend props or special wardrobe. I love working with people to have them be themselves, be at ease, and generally just to have fun. In post-production, I enjoy making people look their absolute best by encorporating digital techniques to create an artistic look to my work. What I have found is that this creates a network of customers who not only refer me to other people, but call me again and again. *Please note that my pricing on Thumbtack is a general estimate and could change based on individual job requirements.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

unfold fold
My pricing is determined by the amount of time that I will need to cover an event, or for portraits; the length of time for the creative session which includes set up and breakdown. All my packages include post-processing time required to edit & retouch the project and a flash drive of both the high and low resolution files. Travel time is added for jobs over 30 minutes from my home. I can supply props for newborn and children shoots as well. I do not supply RAW unprocessed files to customers.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

unfold fold
In the world of emails and texts I prefer to speak directly with new customers, not only to get a sense of what they are looking for me to produce photographically, but also as an opportunity for me to get to know them personally.

What types of customers have you worked with?

unfold fold
A typical job is to shoot private portraits of individuals, couples or families. I also have been doing a lot of events that include birthday parties, Sweet 16, Quinceanera's and Bat Mitzvah celebrations. For many jobs I work in partnership with my wife Nancy who helps with client posing, makeup and hair and acts as my location coordinator.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

unfold fold
Make sure you enjoy the relationship with the photographer you hire. If there is no real connection and a sense of fun and experimentation your shot will look staged and rigid. The point is, I love to have fun with the customers that I work with!
