My Approach
KEEPING IT LIGHT
To state it simply, putting people at ease is the number one component of my approach. I keep the mood light, informal and relaxed so you are not only comfortable with the process, but enjoy it. A common remark I get after a portrait or headshot session is how easy and how fun it was.
CAPTURING MICRO-MOMENTS
With over 25 years as a professional, and my cultivated instinct behind the camera, I'm a hunter for those micro-moments where your true personality shines. For the short amount of time we have together I take a lot of photos and try to zero in on what the strongest pose, lighting and background is for you. Sometimes finding gold requires a lot of mining and this will end up giving you a much broader selection of images to choose from.
METICULOUS FINAL EDITS
The final, but essential piece, to any photo, is in its final edit and retouching. I do all this work myself rather than entrusting it to any third party outfits. No one is going to care more about the quality of the final product than me, from the lighting, posing and taking of the photo, to its final edit. Click here to learn more about photo retouching.
MY GUARANTEE
I want you to walk away from your experience completely satisfied. If for some reason you aren't, contact me and I'll make it right.

His photographs are not only artistic, but he gives each picture the extra time it takes to look pristine; something that can’t be accomplished without the personal touch that Paul gives them."
