Fun, Unique, Beautiful Images
Get a free session and 15% off prints with the MR/15 Session! I call on my 20+ years of experience as an artist to give my personal attention to each and every portrait before the shoot, during the shoot, and after the shoot. Each image is fully retouched and you pay no extra fees for this expert service. All photos are cropped individually prior to printing to insure the best composition. I am willing to spend the time to create images which are truly special and let your personality come through. SUMMER SPECIAL: THROUGH AUGUST 10, I WILL REDUCE THE REGULAR SESSION FEE TO $50! This is normally a $99 fee. My "regular session" is available for a modest $50 session fee regardless of the number of subjects with no releases required. You will receive at least 10 fully retouched images provided as 4 x 6 proofs and web sized images on CD (both with my logo at the bottom). From these, you will then order prints. My most popular offering for individual and family portraits is my MR/15 session. When you sign up for the MR/15 session you will receive a FREE session (a $50 value)*, FREE expert retouching, FREE web-sized photos (for MySpace, your web site, etc.), FREE 4 x 6" printed proofs, and you get 15% off the prints you order. A $50 RETAINER FEE WILL BE CHARGED FOR ALL SESSIONS WHICH WILL BE CREDITED TO YOUR PRINT ORDER. The retainer fee is non-refundable.

Who do normally serve? I create compelling photographic portraits in my Beavercreek Ohio studio or outdoors and serve the Dayton area communities of Beavercreek, Bellbook, Fairborn, Centerville, Enon, Dayton, Yellow Springs, Riverside, Kettering, Huber Heights, Springboro, Miamisburg, Jamestown, Xenia, Cedarville, Tipp City, Bradford, Brookville, Vandalia, Cedarville, Clarksville, Covington, Casstown, West Milton, Newton, Clayton, Oakwood, South Charleston, New Carlisle, Troy, Waynesville, West Carrollton, Wilmington and Springfield.
How long will my session be? A normal session with one person takes about an hour. I am willing to spend the time to make sure we get great images, so whether it takes 45 minutes or an hour and a half, that's fine with me.
Why are you so much cheaper than the big studios? It's because I work out of my home studio and personally do all the shooting, processing, and retouching myself. All of that results in a much lower overhead than studios that pay high lease rates and have lots of employee salaries, insurance, medical costs, worker's compensation, etc. to pay.
How many shots will I get? At least 10 proofs (4 x 6"prints and web sized files) will be delivered on CD to the customer.
Can I bring a friend or family members? Sure, no problem. There are no additional per-person charges.
What should I wear? You should consider bringing 2-4 different outfits with varying colors. Perhaps one could be more formal, a few with nice shirts or sweaters, and a sports uniform or something that reflects your hobbies or personal interests. Limit the logos and phrases on shirts--what is cool today might date the photo in the future. The photos should be all about you, not an advertisement for a store brand. Flat jewelry is not recommended, as it can produce unwanted glare. If we're doing a group shot, I advise bringing clothing with similar colors so there's greater harmony in the group.
Do you take shots outside? Sure. We can take shots around my trees and flowers, or we can go to a park or location of your choice.
Do you provide props? Some, but feel free to bring your own. For instance, if you want to bring a baseball glove, bat, and ball to go with a uniform you're wearing, make sure you bring your own. This helps to personalize your pictures.
Should I wear my glasses in my photos? Reflections from glasses and distortion of the eyes can be a problem. If you can wear contacts or go without glasses, that would be preferable. If you do wear glasses, make sure they are clean and smudge free, as any smear can increase the glare from glasses. Another option would be to visit your optometrist and borrow a set of frames without lenses that match your normal glasses. When glare does show up in shots, it's very difficult to correct.
Do you provide makeup services? No, models are encouraged to do their own makeup, but go light on the makeup. Be careful that the color of the faces matches the color of any exposed skin. Make sure that your hair is how you want it and your face is clean and free of unwanted shine. Retouching will be provided to remove minor blemishes. A good recommendation is to stand about two feet in front of a mirror and give yourself a final check before the photo session. Men should shave just prior to the session to minimize the 5 o'clock shadow.
How long does it take until the proofs are ready? I usually will have a person's proofs ready in about a week to 10 days, depending on how busy I am..
Do you do black and white photos? All photos can be converted to black and white. Black and white or sepia proofs are available upon request at no additional charge.
