From personal experience, I know how hard it is to get in front of a camera. Especially when you’re left in the dark to the details that will help set you up for a successful photo shoot. As your professional photographer, capturing your milestone starts with clear expectations. Situated on the hillside near downtown Ventura, I take into account that we live in such a beautiful place with unlimited nooks and crannies. I come from the perspective that no two photoshoots are alike. My goal is to create an enjoyable experience that encapsulates your moment in a raw, authentic way. From day one, every person I photograph is an amazing fit with me. I take the time to figure out your needs and get to know you so I can create a personalized portrait experience. I want to truly mesh well with you because it will resonate through your photographs.
Say Hello
After that, here are some of the questions I consider :
- Who’s the audience?
- Will these photos be displayed on the wall as art?
- Are they for a website, social media, or a magazine?
- Will informal or formal posing setups work best?
- What location will work best? (Studio, Home, Office, Beach, etc.)
- Do we need a stylist team? (Hair, Makeup, Wardrobe)
- Will we need any props?
- When is the deadline?
Make Magic
Now where the magic happens is at your photo session! After all, you’re going to be looking at these photos for your entire life and generations beyond. This is where I will continue to guide you no matter how awkward you think you are. I will be coaching you through everything.
Create Heirlooms
Approximately three weeks after your session, you will receive an online gallery where you can download your images or order heirloom-quality prints from the comfort of your own home. It really is that easy! As your professional photographer in Ventura County, it’s my absolute pleasure to see the smile on your face when you see the images I’ve captured for you.
