I like to get to know the people I photograph, that way, during the session there is a
familiarity, a connection.  I like to sit and chat with you before our session in order to get
a better sense of who you are.  In doing this you'll be more relaxed during the shoot,
and your true personality will come through.  I try my best to make everyone
comfortable; I will talk to you during the photo shoot as well, I may even put the camera
down if we happen to strike up an interesting conversation.  I find that if you are
comfortable, relaxed and having a good time, then my work takes form and shape
much easier...which results in a better headshot.  Above all, I want you to be happy.   

I use a Canon Digital SLR Camera, which means that I don't have a specific limit of
pictures I'll take.  I'll shoot until I feel like we have captured something great.  However,  
if you are looking for 400 jpg's that will leave you going crazy trying to decide which
picture to choose, I am not the photographer for you.  Most photographers will limit the
number of pictures they take (usually 2 to 3 rolls of film) before charging more.   If I
happen to shoot the digital equivalent of 5 rolls (180 frames), you will not be charged
more.  

The photo session will take place either where you live, or around there (assuming you
live in the Los Angeles area or within 20 miles thereof).  I'll come to you, which makes it
 easier for you.  Or you can schedule studio time.  On average, a  photo session with
me will last anywhere from 2 hours to as much as 3 and 1/2 hours depending on the
number of looks and other details that vary from session to session.  I don't like to be
rushed, and I'm sure you don't either, so its best to make sure you allot a good 4 hours
of time to ensure a relaxed photo shoot, free from the pressure of having to be
somewhere else.  

All of that said, take a look at some of my work in the gallery section.  I will let my work
speak for itself.  If you like what you see, and would like to work with me, contact me
and lets get you a great set of headshots!  It CAN be as simple as that.

Please feel free to e-mail or call to set up an appointment or to ask questions.  I wish
you the best of luck in all of you endeavors.
