Am I The Right Photographer For You?
Hey there!
Before we dive in, I want you to know something important: Not every photographer is a fit for every family or event. And that’s okay. Let’s chat about what makes me, well, me - and how that might align (or not) with what you're looking for.
Connection Over Clicks: Let me be real with you. Some photographers, they just book, show up, shoot, and leave. Me? I'm all about making connections. I really want to get to know you. Let's have that chat, let me in on what makes your family tick, the quirks, the fun stuff. All these tiny details? They matter a lot when it comes to capturing the essence of who you are.
Not Just Poses, But Play: Alright, let’s address the big question. Will we get those traditional, everyone-smiling-at-the-camera shots? Absolutely! But here's the deal: life isn't just about perfect poses. Sometimes, it's about holding hands, mid-air jumps, and those surprise piggy back rides. I've seen stressed parents trying to coax a smile out of their kiddo – trust me, it doesn’t end well. Instead, I might suggest a break for a game of tag or a quick race. Why? Because genuine smiles and laughs beat forced ones every time.
Your Kid’s New Playmate? Probably Me!: There are moments during shoots when kids just... aren’t feeling it. And that's where I step in. I'll drop the camera, maybe challenge them to a race or a game of catch. And the next thing you know? Giggles, big smiles, and heartwarming photos. The experience matters just as much as the end result.
The Energy I Bring: Here’s a fun fact about me: I've got what some call a 'resting serious face'. Yep, but that’s just the face. I stand over 6ft tall, but don’t be fooled. I’m a giant with a heart set on getting the best, most authentic shots of you and your loved ones. At events, I'm the guy who's making sure everyone's comfortable and having fun. Because, believe it or not, the energy of a photographer can make or break those memories.
So, bottom line? The camera is just a tool. The real magic? It's in the connection, the play, the energy. I promise to bring my best to every shoot, but it's crucial we vibe right. So, if you think we might be a fit, let’s chat!
Till then, keep smiling!
