Let's Chat

 

I never, ever, ever set up a portrait session without first meeting my clients face-to-face.  Just like you wouldn't want to meet your surgeon the day of surgery!  Okay, maybe that's a little extreme but I build rapport with you and your kids. We'll talk...

 

• location

• time

• clothing

• your child, their interests, and personality

• your vision and needs

 

"My vision? Uh? I don't have a vision?  I just want good photos."  Aah.  But yes you do.  Most people have a general idea about what they need but can't really pinpoint what they truly want until we talk.  I'd also love to meet your kid(s) at this time.  If they are young this will help me NOT be the stranger with a camera.  I also know you're thinking, "I'm about to  spend good money on these portraits, how do I know you'll deliver?"  or "Can you make her smile?" or "Will you be able to make  him sit still?"  I've done it all.  Chased, danced, sung a song, jumped up and down, made silly faces, and sometimes just listened to the kids.  After all, they just want to have fun.  In the end, I get it!  I get the smile, or the pout, or the sweet innocence that makes them who they are.  And often times, I'm told this... "I can't believe you got such a great picture!"  It takes experience and patience and I have a lot of both.  

 

Trust me.  You'll be happy.  If you're not happy, neither am I.
