Traditional Portraits

Fully customized portrait session.

I like to cover all the angles, ensuring every shot captures a unique perspective. Incorporating a couple of outfit changes adds variety and personality, while shooting at a few different locations brings depth and interest to the session. Voilà—these elements come together to create the makings of a great portrait session that truly reflects your style and story.

Portrait photography serves a variety of purposes across personal and professional realms. It captures the unique personality and expression of individuals, making it ideal for family keepsakes, personal milestones, and social media profiles. In professional settings, portrait photography is essential for corporate headshots, LinkedIn profiles, and branding materials, helping to convey professionalism and approachability. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in creative industries such as fashion and editorial work, showcasing style and storytelling through visual artistry. Whether for personal memories or business promotion, portrait photography offers a timeless and versatile way to connect and communicate.

Hair and makeup play a crucial role in custom portrait photography, significantly enhancing the subject’s features and overall presentation. Professional styling ensures that the subject looks polished and camera-ready, highlighting their natural beauty while complementing the desired mood and theme of the shoot. Proper hair and makeup can also help control reflections, reduce shine, and create a balanced complexion, which is essential for achieving high-quality, timeless portraits. Investing in skilled hair and makeup artists elevates the final images, reflecting professionalism and attention to detail that clients appreciate.

To ensure a successful portrait photography session, clients should consider several key factors. First, communication with the photographer is essential—discuss your vision, preferred style, and any specific ideas beforehand. Choose clothing that complements the setting and reflects your personality, avoiding overly busy patterns or logos. Plan the timing of the session around natural lighting conditions, ideally early morning or late afternoon for softer light. Also, prepare yourself by getting enough rest and staying hydrated to look fresh and confident. Lastly, trust your photographer’s expertise and be open to direction during the shoot to capture your best moments.
