Taking someone's portrait is a unique honor - a glimpse into the person's life, priorities and ideals. They're trusting you with the interpretation of their personality, and allowing you the opportunity to capture their most honest expressions of themselves to share with the world. It's an opportunity we take seriously.

          efore we even begin your portrait shoot, our main priorities will be to find out what the purpose of your photographs will be. So often portraits are being taken for more than just a profile photo - they are an important element for personal and business branding, and should have a cohesive look and feel to your other branding elements.
