A life well captured

Why Hire a Professional Photographer?

Studio photography gives us full control of lighting needed to focus on you and not have to worry about the weather, people watching, changing light, or bugs! Shooting in a studio may seem intimidating at first. However, the predictability of a controlled environment gives us time to take as many photos as we need until we start warming up to the camera. Typically about 3 min. A studio also provides the added convenience of switching scenes quickly. For example, we can shoot with a colored backdrop and 3 min later transport you to the sea with a seascape background.

There are many factors to consider when shopping around for a professional photographer. Reputation, experience — these are important qualities to consider. But there’s something else I want you to consider, and that’s the benefits of hiring a studio photographer. There’s no need for you to stress over the weather or outdoor pests, or people watching you being photographed. Hiring me as your studio photographer comes with some important benefits I can offer you no matter what type of pics you are seeking. Let me share a few of these with you.

The Highest Level of Professional Equipment

My camera equipment is state-of-the-art. Everything from the camera body itself, to my variety of lenses, tripods, and stands. This allows me to maneuver in the studio to photograph you from any perspective, high or low, close up or at a distance.

Control Over Lighting

You should never underestimate the importance of lighting as it relates to portrait photography. I’ll go so far as to say with an absence of proper lighting, the quality of photography suffers, no matter how good the photographer is. In my studio, I offer the highest quality equipment and can adjust it at a moment’s notice to photograph the perfect portrait.

Because light is so precise in a studio, we typically have anywhere from one to eight lights, reflectors, or modifiers. It all depends on what each particular light does and the mood we’re going for. For example, the main key light will be the brightest. From there we’ll add fill lights, hair lights, or background lighting. Your photos will be tethered to a laptop or iPad and you’ll have the final say on which images you like so that you have the best photos you’ve ever taken.

Backdrops Help Create Scenic Environments

When you are inside a professional studio like mine, you’ll soon witness the creativity of the photoshoot as it begins to flow. A big part of this is I have an abundance of backdrops, accessories, and props that, combined with advanced lighting techniques, creates an assortment of environments in which to capture you at your best.
