Value in the Experience of Portrait Photography

I was very thankful to have the opportunity to photograph a fun portrait session last week, with Sallie and her son Trent. We found a beautiful location in late afternoon sunlight on a private farm property near Centerville, Ohio.

Successful portrait photographers understand that delivering value to the portrait client is much more than just simply providing professional imagery. It's also about the experience and delivering to the client a positive memory of the photo shoot to connect to the prints.

With every portrait session I carry with me a bit of that "photography teacher" within me. Instead of just simply directing my clients to where I want them I always explain what it is about the scene that works so well with them as the main subjects and why I am working with the light - both ambient and the light I bring with me - the way I do.

When the client feels like he or she is part of the total experience - and not simply posed subjects - it shows in their eyes and smiles and subsequently, the final images.

To schedule your portrait photography experience, please email or call 937-477-9324. I would be very happy and thankful for the opportunity to deliver images and an experience that will last a lifetime.

I love what I do, I am good at what I do and . . . yes, I actually NEED to do what I do

It's that simple. Take another look at this blog entry title.

Why hire a professional photographer versus the soccer-mom-with-a-good-camera?  Here are 10 reasons why:

1. Quality of Work
2. Dependability
3. Fully Insured
4. All client image files are carefully organized and back-up across multiple media
5. Professional bearing and appearance while working at client's location
6. Actual, true corporate experience working on the "other side" of the desk
7. Bringing more to the table than just great imagery
8. Over-delivers and delivers on-time
9. Listens to understand client goals and expectations before the camera and lights come out of the bag
10. And his or her career and passion to create and capture photographs that best  represent the passion that each client has for his or her business and customer and their respective communities
