Professional Family Portraits Are Not Snapshots.

People are taking more pictures now than ever before. That, of course is an obvious statement. Cell phones are full of pictures, quick photos snapped never more than one or two for most situations and settings.These snapshots are fine but they what one would think of a professional portrait and all that goes with having professionally finished portraits made.

When my clients hire me to photograph their family they know that I will carefully pose their family in a flattering arrangement that works well for all involved. I will use the appropriate lighting and will take many poses so when we view and select the portraits projected on the movie screen by a process of elimination we will pick the very best poses.

Then as I always promise my clients, in post-production i will do all necessary enhancements to the portraits to guarantee they will truly love their portraits.

 

We’re a Fun Family!

Hugging Your Dog–How Sweet It Is.

Why is it that in the portraits I take of my clients with their dogs–they always shine with happiness and have a twinkle in their eyes.

I think the answer is obvious–there is so much love that it just can’t be held back. Of course, my job as a professional portrait photographer with 37 years experience is to show that in the portraits I create for my clients. During the session I make it a point to keep my focus on both owner and pet by giving directions and encouragements to keep the both the pet parent  and pet totally engaged and responding to the camera.

As you may imagine (knowing that I have photographed well over 1000 pet and pet/people sessions) I have many ways of making that happen and creating portraits that my clients love and cherish.

 

Happiness is hugging your dog!

Fun Pet Portraits That Pet Parents Love.

It happens sometimes during a pet portrait sessions that pet parents bring out the props to put on there pets. Sometimes  these don’t work out so well because the dogs tend not to like having the props on them. However, in this case the props stayed on the dogs and they were cooperative. Of course, it is important to act fast and take a number of images before the scene will inevitably fall apart.

These portraits with props are generally done after I have taken the one without props and am sure we have lots of nice poses.

Invariably, pet parents love these type of portraits and they add a special spice to the whole portrait taking and ordering portraits experience.
