Portraits. A portrait is a window into your life. Lovely to have now, invaluable 5 or 10 years from now. That picture of you from 15 years ago that your mother still has displayed proudly on her wall - she probably talks to it when you’re not around. A great portrait should get into your head, and convey something about the symbolism of where you are at this moment in your life. This is my specialty, this is what I love to do.
A portrait is more than a picture. It’s a time capsule and a window into your life for you and your loved ones.
Online Dating Profiles. Starting to venture into the online dating world? One truth of the online world is that no one is going read your amazing profile unless they are captivated by your picture first. A compelling picture can stand out amongst hundreds or thousands of other pictures grab the right person’s attention in seconds. A great picture that speaks to who you are in an appealing way can communicate more than yards of profile verbiage. I also offer coaching and help for beginners with how to present yourself in the online world including help with uploading your images.
Professional Head Shots. The dating world isn’t the only arena where a photo counts. Business websites, professional profiles, business cards, resumes, directories, real estate listings, all benefit from a great headshot.
Fantasy Personas and Nude Photos. Sometimes you might want a photo to show the wilder side of you. People connect through their fetishes and their fantasies (not everyone is just looking for a life-partner online). Capturing an attitude is absolutely essential when creating a provocative photo for Craigslist, Recon, Daddyhunt, Adultfriendfinder, Manhunt, gay.com or any of the adult websites.
Couples Portraits and Gay Wedding Photography. Is there a magnetism that sparks the air between you and your lover? Come away with a portrait that captures that intangible something - that magic - for all time. This is a part of your story, your mutual history.
Note on Location: Photo shoots can occur in a multitude of places: the great outdoors capturing your energy with nature, an urban adventure in the streets of San Francisco, a fashion-style shoot in a studio, or a casual setting showing you in your own home - the sky is the limit; it all depends on what you want your pictures to convey.
