Services:

 It can be expensive hiring a photographer, like a portrait photographer, and one thing I am not is a "traditional" or specialist photographer. I will shoot just about anything just about anywhere and am willing to work with you to get the photos you want. Here are some of the things I photograph:

  • Lifestyle, Standard, Senior & Artistic Portraits - Whatever your needs, I will do whatever I can to record your memories.

  • Digital Information Discs - A CD with photo and important information in case the worst should happen and a loved one should go missing. Available through local groups and organizations or as an add-on to any portrait session.

  • Headshots/Model Portfolio - Standard headshots, close-ups, 3/4 and full. Just tell me what you need and I'll help you out.

  • Stock/Product Photography - You've already have the product, now you need a photographer to take the photo. Here I am.

  • Pet Photography - If your pet is part of the family, why not get his or her shot taken.

  • Auction Photos - Selling something on ebay? Quality photos of your items can increase the final price by as much as 50% or more.

  • Informal Events - Hey, I'm an informal kind of guy - and my suit doesn't fit so well anymore. Great for documenting membership drives, informal gatherings, fundraisers, picnics, family reunions, etc. I'll even do informal wedding receptions where no other photographer is present.

  • Family Reunions - You've got the family together, why not get portraits of individuals, their families, plus some shots of the events themselves. A fantastic way to remember the reunion of all your relatives from all over. It starts with standard portraits of each individual family member and a family portrait of each family. Then portraits based on groupings such as generational (grandmother, mother, daughter, grandchild) all together. 

Remember, all images are delivered in digital format and the cost of having the images printed is up to you - which can actually save you a lot of money in printing costs since you print only the photos and the quantities you want and don't have to pay for a "package".

All services are "on location" at a place of your choosing. All photos are delivered in digital format on CD. 

My fee structure is quite simple and all payments are due before the photography session begins.

Prints:

You Print Your Own
There are advantages to printing the photos yourself. It is faster: Traditionally, you view the proofs, make your selections, the photographer, when he gets the time, submits them to a lab, then he waits until they arrive, then he sends the finished product back to you. Printing yourself, you submit your choices to the lab and the prints come directly to you. You can even have them printed at local stores. It is cheaper: You don't pay the photographer's markup for the photos. More variety: You select the sizes and quantities you want of each photo. No deciding on packages (unless your lab offers deals on packages).

You can find many online photo printing services rated at CNet.com

Likewise, many in-store photo labs provide printing of images from CD.
