Portrait Photographer (Pasadena & Los Angeles Area)

If you've already taken a moment to review photographs found in my Portrait Photography Portfolio, I think you'll agree that I'm not your typical portrait photographer. In fact, you've probably noticed that each photograph clearly exhibits my unique trademark style. I'd like to think that style is born of the fact that my work as a portrait photographer captures the spirit and character of each subject. If you'd like, you may want to take a few minutes to read a few testimonials from individuals and couples who've already worked with me.

Portrait Photography Sessions

Prior to taking any photographs, we'll first discuss what you hope to accomplish with your session. Through this conversation, I'll gain a firm understanding of your goals--whether you'd like an actor or actress headshot, a simple environmental portrait, a photograph for your business card, or a full set of commercial photographs for your ZED card. During our discussion, I'll take careful note of personal and physical characteristics so I can photograph you at your best.

In some cases, instead of a traditional or family portrait, you may be approaching me to take photographs of your children. Whether you want to freeze a moment in time, create a beauty photo for pageants, or if you’d like images to support your child's acting or modeling career, I'll capture photographs that will exceed your every expectation while providing a fun, safe experience for your child.

If you're interested in learning more about some of the various locations available for outdoor photography in my area, please take a look at my short informational article on Outdoor Photography Locations as well as Ideal Light and the Magic Hour. And once you've scheduled your session, you may also want to carefully review my article titled Getting Ready.

Portrait Photography Packages

For your convenience, I offer two portrait photography packages. The first package is designed to meet the needs of individuals requiring a simple headshot, environmental portrait for business, small family portrait, or pregnancy photo. The second package is designed for photo sessions requiring multiple wardrobe, lighting, and/or location changes. The second package is sometimes selected by models and high school seniors who desire a wide range of wardrobes and backgrounds.

If you'd like additional coverage, editorial publishing rights, or options that I've not listed here, please let me know. I'd be happy to accommodate your requests by extending my coverage or by offering additional services. Just ask and I'll be happy to provide you with a quotation suited to your specific needs! Or, if you'd prefer, please give me a call. You'll be glad you did!
