Not sure which spot is right for you? Here's how I help my seniors decide:

It is easy to get overwhelmed with all that goes into a wedding. Fortunately, the right pro will be able to provide professional services that include more than their expertise. I try to offer all the advice I can for couples leading up to the big day. Booking with me includes a 24-hour open line. Text me at 3am if you can’t sleep; run ideas past me; keep me updated on the latest moving part of your wedding day.

Professional commercial lifestyle photography is more than just pictures—it’s about telling a story. For retirement communities, that story includes active living, strong community ties, exceptional services, and comfort. That’s exactly what we set out to capture, using a strategic mix of real-life settings, paid models (talent), and authentic moments.

Event photography isn’t just about documentation. It’s a key tool for marketing & promotion, social media content, media & press coverage, internal communication, and keepsakes of the special, engaging moments.

There are occasions where a simple phone photo will work, like when I need to capture a QR code or receipt. I find it so important to hire a professional for your event and portrait photography and here are the best reasons to do so.

What do you like most about your job? Would you be doing something else if you could? Why do we continue to do work if it doesn’t pay well or it isn’t fulfilling?

What do I do with my hands? What should I wear? What is the difference between headshots and portraits? How long does it take to get digital images back? How do I pay? Where is your studio located? All fine questions, I address in this article.

I have one client who cannot afford to have me travel the US with her, but whenever she has photos taken of me, she asks the photographer if they are agreeable to having me retouch her photos.

My latest project was a commercial photography shoot for a card game by Keymaster Games. The game is called Fuego. I was advised that it would have an ultra-lounge, fiesta feel with a touch of Uno.

How do you review the performance with only one song? They escort you out of the building to secure your camera gear in your car before coming back in to watch the show. I’m just not going to drive 25 minutes to pay $10 - $20 in parking to photograph one song, and risk having 10k in gear stolen out of my car in order to write a concert review (without pay) to support an artist who does not want me there.

I often tell clients that come in for portrait and headshot photography, it does not matter what they wear as long as it makes them feel comfortable. It will show in their facial features and create the best imagery possible. I realize, the same holds true for me. If I have it in the back of my mind that I should be doing some other photography rather than the assignment in front of me, I’m not going to get the best imagery possible either.

In order to keep the surprise, we moved forward with the proposal, but the photos did need some extra retouching. There is a lot of AI tools to choose from to retouch photos. I tend to stay in Photoshop with a modest array of AI tools that help me keep the integrity of my focal points.

From time to time, I like to display galleries, so other clients know exactly what to expect from their session. I always shoot a little dark to ensure that when editing in post-production, all pixels have information that can be edited. This is the end result of a professional photography session at the best floral park locations in the Columbus area taken earlier this month in Columbus, OH.

I interact with you and bring out the best I can for the best photography. I help calm nerves, and creates candid reactions that are worthy of a photograph.,That’s the kind of support I offer when photographing weddings … and proposals!

Over the past 2 years, for one of my clients, I have been the event photographer for more than 20 events. When I first worked these events for them, they used to tell me what to expect at the event and I was given direction on what they’re hoping to capture. They would request I show up a little early and maybe even give me a little direction as to how to get the shots.
