Why should you have me take your pictures? 

 1.  Because unlike the photographers that need to rely on the money they earn to pay rent, buy food, and clothe themselves, this is a passion for me.  This means that I have the luxury of taking my time to insure that I get the pictures that you want.  First I make an appointment to talk to the client about what they are looking for in a picture or set of pictures, then we schedule the shoot.  I rarely spend less then 4 hours with a client during the scheduled shoot.  This means that we have the time to really get it right (4 – 6 hours as opposed to the normal 1 hour session).  This sounds like a lot of time, but you will be amazed at how fast it will go.  The first hour will be spent just finding out what you like or want in your pictures.

2.  Because I have a system that insures that I understand what it is that you like and do not like when YOU look at pictures of yourself.  Too often photographers and others take pictures in poses or outfits that THEY think look good.  I make sure that I capture you looking the way that YOU think looks the best.  Schedule a consultation at no cost to see how I do this and why it insures that you will be happy.

3.  Because you will be treated with the utmost respect and professionalism.  I encourage you to bring someone with you for the initial consultation.  I ensure that each client only has pictures taken that they are comfortable with.  You will notice that the pictures range from formalwear to artistic nudes.  A person should only shoot those pictures that fit within their personal comfort zone.  Each client has a different level of comfort and with me that will be respected and adhered to.

4.  If I am not able to produce pictures that you wanted and hoped for, there is NO CHARGE for the session.**  But I must warn you, so far no one has ever been dissatisfied.  Many of my clients have been in several times for shoots and in Europe I have had people drive hours to have their pictures done. 

5.  And finally, the price for all of this will be competitive with other studios that give you less time and little input as to the pictures that are taken.
