about me

Having spent four decades honing my skills, working with diverse clients, and mastering the art of portrait photography, I know what it takes to stand out in a competitive industry. From perfecting lighting and composition to capturing the subtle nuances of human emotion, I’ve learned the secrets that make a portrait truly remarkable. Now, I’m dedicated to sharing that knowledge with the next generation of photographers.

I’m here to guide you, answer your questions, and help you avoid common pitfalls so that you can build a successful photography business with confidence.

services

  • One-on-One Coaching & Mentorship: Whether you’re just starting out or need advice on a specific area, my personalized coaching will help you navigate the challenges of portrait photography. We’ll work together to fine-tune your technique, style, and business strategies.

  • Portfolio Review & Feedback: A strong portfolio is key to attracting clients. I’ll provide detailed feedback on your current portfolio and offer suggestions for improvement, helping you build a collection that showcases your unique talent.

  • Mastering Lighting & Composition: Lighting is everything in portrait photography, and composition can make or break an image. I’ll guide you through both, helping you understand how to use light to your advantage and compose images that leave a lasting impression.

  • Building Your Photography Business: Photography is not just about taking pictures; it’s about building relationships with clients and creating a sustainable business. I’ll help you develop strategies for marketing, pricing, client management, and growing your brand.
