Have you ever wondered what goes into that “one hour” session when you book a photoshoot? You might see me with my camera for an hour, but believe me—there’s a whole iceberg of time, skill, and attention below the surface!

When you book a session, I immediately begin planning how to make the experience perfect for you. I think about location ideas, poses and even your wardrobe, not to mention the weather if we are outdoors. I’ve spent 30+ years honing my skills in light, composition, and posing to capture images you’ll truly love. Then, after I’ve driven to the shoot and worked with you to get those magic shots, I drive back to my office and start a careful process of selecting the best images—each one chosen for how well it tells your story.

Then comes the behind-the-scenes work that makes every image shine: editing! Sometimes it’s retouching or color-correcting, and other times, it’s making a little magic—maybe swapping heads for that one perfect smile, opening mom’s eyes or even adjusting the color of a shirt if needed. I use several professional software programs to make sure every image is up to the highest standards. After all that, I double-check every detail and send the images to my trusted lab, ensuring you receive prints of the very best quality. So, while you might see an hour with a camera, know there’s a whole journey of time, talent, and heart dedicated to each and every session.
