Picture instead: All of you gathered in your favorite room in your home. Or outside on the new deck you just had built. Or in your backyard by the pine trees that give your yard so much character. All of you are dressed in clothes the photographer helped you chose - clothing that conveys your individual personalities, but still looks great together.

Well, that's what makes all the difference, and that's what I will do for you. And This is SO Important: All Of You Feel Totally Comfortable In Front Of The Camera!

Do you know ANYONE who feels totally comfortable in front of a camera? I'll bet you don't. I don't. Nearly everyone I've ever met tells me the same thing: "I never look natural in pictures." The last thing you want is a photograph where you or your family members have that fake "posed" look on your face.

That's why it's so important that you feel very natural and comfortable with your photographer. Just think of how great your family would look if your best friend was creating the photograph. They would all look so happy and natural! I take pride in developing very close relationships with all my clients, and their entire family.

Plus, I understand the "psychology" of photography. Learning the technical aspects - what lenses to use, what lighting looks best, how clothing adds and subtracts weight on film - all of those things were only the tip of the iceberg. Without being able to make each and every one of your family members look and feel comfortable (and natural) on film, all those technical things would amount to nothing.

"I wanted some photos of me and my children. I wasn't sure what I really wanted. I knew what I didn't want that was another Pooh Bear background and stiff pictures. You took my ideas and listened and together we planned exactly what I wanted. Taking pictures outside was so relaxing.

It was fun and spontaneous and my children had a great time. I have unique photos that will never look store bought. I received tons of compliments. What I like most is that you captured who we are everyday. How we really look and priceless smiles and a bandaid."
