Photography is Poetry

Some parents ask what the advantages are of having Senior portraits taken by a professional photographer. Quality cameras are becoming more and more available to everyone these days, and it may be appealing to save money by “just trying to DIY it” or have dad take portraits.

Here are a few reasons why it’s so important to hire a professional photographer (rather than an amateur with a nice camera) to capture this very unique time in a High School Senior’s life. Keep in mind that all my portrait collections include a professional stylist during the shoot.

BETTER PHOTOS | ART FOR LIFE

Photographs aren’t meant to lurk eternally on a hard drive. They’re meant to be printed, displayed, touched, and shared. I’ve designed my program and packages to make sure you will end up with stunning, last-a-lifetime physical pieces that become family treasures. All my print products are sourced from professional photo labs and made with museum grade materials. I lovingly hand retouch each image with huge amounts of care before it goes to a digital gallery or print, sometimes spending hours on perfecting the crop, color quality, and removing any blemishes that might become apparent when the photograph is printed in large format. Your end result is not just a gallery of perfectly edited digital images; it’s an album, a canvas, a print - real, tactile artwork for your home or dorm room.
