General

Your LOGO is on the photos when I view them!! Why??!!

I watermark my photos to discourage theft of the images.  If you make a purchase, the photo product you receive will not have my logo on it.

Do you keep every picture you ever take?

Not exactly. After a photo shoot I immediately delete any pictures that are not usable (test shots, the occasional out of focus one, etc). I then save the pictures to my computer and 2 external hard drives for long term storage. I keep most pictures for a very long time.

I don't see the print size I want, what can I do?

Please contact me if you have print requests outside of what I have listed. What I have listed are just the most common print sizes and products.

I don't like the photos you took, can I get a refund?

I’m sorry, but I don’t provide refunds. The sitting fee is for the photographer’s time and talent.

What kind of equipment do you use?

I shoot with Canon equipment. I have 2 camera bodies, 5 lenses, and an extensive list of accessories to aid in taking great photographs. I also utilize Photoshop for any adjustments I deem necessary such as color correction, blemish removal, sharpening, black & white conversions and other special effects.

What are your accepted forms of payment?

I currently accept cash or check. Prints and/or digital copies will be provided after payment has been received. Additional or a la carte prints can be purchased online using a credit/debit card.

I have a nice camera, why should I pay you to take my pictures?

Camera prices have dropped substantially over the past several years. However, even with having a nice camera, knowledge, skill, experience, and talent are still needed to take great photos. Things such as white balance, depth of field, off camera lighting, and the balancing of shutter speed, aperture, and ISO are not easily mastered. When you hire me you are hiring somebody with experience, knowledge, and the focus that is required and should be expected from a professional, dedicated photographer.
