Forget the stiff backdrops and hot lights. Forget standing in line at your local superstore. Forget 1-2-3 SMILE and squeaky toy props. Stop the cookie-cutter approach and get natural! All of my portraits are shot on location, either at your home or another chosen site. I prefer to be a fly on the wall and capture the subject behaving in his or her usual fashion. Capturing the essence of my subject is much more important to me than making sure all hairs are in place. I would rather capture peoples’ true personalities than how they happen to look on a given day.

For those who prefer the more traditional portrait look, I am able to create time-honored photographs with a lot less stress than sitting under heavy lights in the studio. The photos in my gallery that look as if they are in a studio are actually taken in client’s homes in very relaxed atmospheres, then manipulated to give them a studio feel.

More than a memento, natural portraiture is an incredible gift from photographer to client—an heirloom—for it freezes a moment that will soon be gone.
