My portrait photography creative style is best described as real moments with an alternative approach and a cinematic presentation.

The best way I can describe the look of my photos is “cinematic”. I actually have a degree in Critical Film and Television Studies, so this is my way of putting my educational background to work. Movies, especially movies shot on actual film, are main inspiration when it comes to my visual style.

Wes Anderson’s films are a big source of inspiration. His style is a starting point, and then I go off in my own direction from there. I also have a little David Lynch as John Ford in The Fabelmans on my shoulder to “remind” me the horizon being in the middle of the frame is boring.

I love making my photos look like stills from a movie, and I’ll even ask you what your favorite movies are to get visual style ideas for your portrait session. You’ll see lots of variations in colors and tones in my photos because each celebration is different.

As we approach the day of your session, I’ll work with you to put together a timeline, get your creative input, and figure out the best stylistic choices for the shoot. This is your portrait session, and I want as much input as you want to provide!

When you inquire about a portrait session, I’ll also ask you what time you’d like to do the shoot. I photograph portrait sessions in the early morning (At or just after sunrise) or in the afternoon/evening (Think closer to sunset).

Do also note that I limit myself to two portrait sessions a day to ensure every student who books with me gets the proper attention they deserve.

All portrait sessions include:

• No time limit on the session.

• No limit on the number of shooting locations and wardrobe changes.

• No limit on the number of photos you receive.

• Rapid turn around time on the photos.

• High-resolution/print quality photos delivered in a private gallery.

• Four versions of each photos: A true-to-color version, two cinematically inspired color versions, and a black and white version.

• Photos shot on at least one roll of film. (These will take a bit longer to process)

• A $100 print and product credit.

• Coordination assistance.

• A bottle of champagne or sparking grape juice will be included with all college graduation portrait sessions.

Portrait sessions start at $500.

Your quoted price will be based on your location, date, day of the week, number of people involved, along with my time and experience. Family members and up to two friends are welcome to be included in the session. Additional fees will be added for larger groups.

I understand everyone works with a different budget and expectations as to what photography will cost. My pricing might not be for everyone, but I do feel it is fair and a great value for the services you will be provided.

A special feature I offer for all portrait sessions is that I give multiple versions of each photo that makes the final cut.

That means everyone gets a true to color version, which is what I’m seeing out of the camera, and then two different cinematically inspired color versions on each photo. Those versions are what you see on this page and throughout my website. Everyone also gets a version of their photos in black and white. 

I offer this so you can get a true to color version of your photos while also not being forced to select just one visual style. If you like a light and bright style AND a dark and moody style or a dreamy and cinematic style, you are going to get those multiple looks.

I’m also happy to shoot at least one roll of film during all my portrait sessions. This is in addition to all the photos I shoot digitally, and it is just one of the many ways I enjoy documenting things for you.
