Approach and Pricing
Grand Rapids, Michigan Senior Portrait and Family Photographer.
Risk being seen— that’s where the magic lies. The making of a portrait is more than good lighting and good equipment. Whether I’m photographing a family session, high school senior, maternity session, or any other type of portrait session, I keep the process relaxed and free flowing. I often tell clients to throw out any ideas they may have of what they’ve been taught to believe the photographic process should be like.
We choose a location that you love, you dress up in whatever you feel most comfortable and confident in, and we hang out with my camera between us.
I value classic portraiture and documentary style coverage so the photos we make together will increase in personal value over the years. The images of laughter as well as the occasional moment of chaos tell a story that will age beautifully. As we capture the traditional ‘stare at the camera, smile’ photos, I quietly photograph candid-style frames.
It’s worth noting that heavily processed images are not what I create. I believe all people are worthy of a great portrait without the need of digital modification. Everybody is welcome.
