It's understandable that you have questions. Here are some questions that we receive frequently.
What is so special about hiring a Master of Photography?
Photography in the 21st century has become loose and free - a good thing when it is coupled with an understanding of light, composition, and an insightful understanding (feelings and personalities) of people. While "snapshots" are fun and great for the family storybook, there are occasions that beg for the excellence, consistency, and competence of a seasoned pro. A Mater of photography is evidence of that professional standard and a "must" for those who seek the best.
What should I wear for my portrait?
Clothing choices can make a huge difference in the final outcome of your finished image(s). First we would suggest that you decide if you want the portrait to be casual or formal. For formal portraits we recommend darker clothes that are solid color, and long sleeved. For a casual look jeans or khakis with solid color tops work well, but keep in mind that "theme dressing" can be fun and meaningful too. It makes a more pleasing portrait if everyone is wearing the same color (or in the same color family).
What backgrounds will you use?
Backgrounds are selected according to clothing color and style, complimentary effect, and personality. .
How should I wear my make up?
The lighting that we use is very soft and natural. Therefore, it is not required to change your make up, keep it natural.
