But what about your friend who has a nice camera?
Won’t you still get most of this if you ask them to do it? What other benefits
are there to hiring me instead?
I put in the time
I don't just show up at the appointed time, shoot off a few snapshots, and burn a CD. I scout out suitable locations well in advance – not all locations are created equal! Some will not work for a variety of reasons, and you can trust my experience to know the best places to go. On the day of the shoot I arrive early to select the best positions and plan my shots. During the session I spend time with you making sure you are comfortable in front of the camera, and getting the best shots I can. This involves multiple exposures, poses and settings, and with children sometimes a lot of patience. I strive to make every session fun for everyone.
I bring experience
When I'm not shooting, I'm learning. I read books and research websites on everything from posing to post-processing, from shooting techniques to the latest gear. And I practice. Which means that when it comes to your session you can trust that I know the best location to meet your needs, the best way to light and pose you, the best background for each shot, and how to deal with uncooperative children. I know how to edit each image to put the focus where it should be, on you, so that the final results are images you will treasure.
