We will create the image that you want people to experience.

After just a few shots, we'll start discussing our favorite shots. We will see which angles and which poses work best.  

We can emphasize some features over others using light & shadows, and perspective & focus. Tell me what you want. Just as important, tell me what you don't want. That way, we control the personality and emotion that we put into the image.

So let's create images that look the way you want them to.  
 

My passion for photography began with a Kodak 126 Instamatic camera and more black & white shots of a black & white cat than anyone - except me - cared to look at. Having shot, developed, and printed film since the '80s, I now love the instant images rendered by digital equipment, and the ability to more quickly fine tune the composition and lighting based on immediate client feedback.  

I like taking all kinds of shots, but my favorites are ones that tell stories, get people to think, and make you look up and down and back and forth - twice. (Kind of like that feeling when you read something over again, even though you already know what it says, just because of the way it is written.)

Some people just want a shot that shows what they look like; if so, that's what I'll take. And while it's a good starting point, even with the most simple shot, much more can be done. Let's show confidence ... tell a story ... a happy ending ... or just the beginning.  

Rates for creative sessions listed below are for studio or local shoots. 

Shooting time - fee
* 90 minutes - $180
* 2 Hours - $200       
* 4 Hours - $380
* 6 Hours - $540
* 8 Hours - $680

Please note that after the session, it takes an additional 20 - 30 minutes per hour of shoot time to edit your pictures, depending on the goal of our shoot.  I will also post a private online gallery for downloading images.  There is no additional cost for editing or images, unless it must be done immediately.  I am happy to optimize image resolution to match your intended use, so just let me know!

While 90 minutes is enough time to take multiple poses or include multiple people, the number of final images produced will depend upon the subjects' ability to take guidance in 'posing' for the camera. Please do not hesitate to call to discuss your questions.

A private, password protected gallery of photos from our session will be posted within 5 days for downloading images. Print services are available, but not required. Pricing varies with quantity, size, format, and materials. When desired, prints up to 13" x 19" can be printed in house.  If you would like to have images printed immediately during/following a studio session, please let me know when booking your session.

Makeup artist services can be arranged.

With the ultimate goal being a happy client, I ask people to call to discuss ideas, ideally when we can both be looking at examples. That way I find the stylistic clues that lead us most quickly in the right direction.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I did taking them. So have a look, and tell me what you think. Feedback is always welcome and appreciated.


I treasure the opportunity to create your images.

Thank you,
Brian
