Your Family Portrait

Your family portrait shouldn’t just capture a series of forced smiles on the faces of your loved ones at a particular point in time. It should illustrate something about who you are and the relationships you share. That’s why I take the time to know the individuals I photograph before the shutter button is pressed. Whether that means sitting on the floor playing with a baby, learning about a fourth grader’s hobbies, hearing the story of a couple’s first date, or interviewing a family about the last movie they saw together, I strive to provide a comfortable and friendly atmosphere for my clients. I realize that you can visit the local chain studio and take home “sheets” of pictures for little money, so I make your experience with Long Shots different.

Your session can take place in the location of your choosing. I make it my job to make that location work, whether that means constructing a studio set on-site or taking advantage of natural light.

Have you ever gone to a photo shoot and, after all the pictures were snapped and you were viewing the results, been shocked to discover that none of the photos were what you wanted? At Long Shots, I don’t maintain a hectic pace that limits our shooting time. We can review our shots as the session progresses. I’ve found that this puts my clients at ease (they see how good they look, which allows them to relax and look even better) and provides the opportunity for them to tell me whether I’m capturing what they want in their portraits.
