You may be asking yourself, why custom photography? Why not just head to one of those chain portrait places where they sell photos by the sheet? Make your appointment (sometimes they're not even needed!) and have your pictures in an hour. Why the need for a custom photographer?
I see custom photography as an investment and an experience. An investment in memories. In relationships. In family. Beautiful family photos are so much more than a piece of paper with smiling faces, and my photography style reflects that. I like to catch the moments. The expressions. The relationships.
The Experience
When I do a shoot, my goal is for everyone to be relaxed and enjoy our time together. No need to stand stiffly in front of of background, everyone lined up, facing the camera, smiling. The majority of my photos are taken outside, in a natural environment. I seek to capture the personality of each person I photograph. Go ahead, laugh, frown, ham it up. I'll be there to catch it all.
The Investment
But custom photography is so much more expensive than chain stores! That is because, unlike the chain stores, custom photography means custom service. Have lakeside property? A favorite park? A building you love? Want the family dog included? No problem,I travel on location (within 30 minutes of Bellingham).
Each photo is individually processed to reflect the very best features of the photo.
Newborn sessions are done in home, with no need to pack up a new baby and supplies, load in to the car and travel to a studio.
The Memories
As a professional photographer, I offer a variety of products for you to choose from. Gallery wrapped canvas, mounted photos,a variety of photo size, photo books and story boards are all available, printed on high quality paper from a professional photo lab.
Go ahead. Enjoy yourself. Enjoy the experience. Enjoy the memories.
