PHOTO-Portraits

PORTRAITURE 101
Natural light is the most flattering.
Find a window, or glass door and stand or sit the subject near it.
Sometimes I use fill-flash, just to fill in where light is needed.
I let my subject be natural.
Being themselves is the most flattering way to pose.
We find familiar objects, cozy places to sit or snuggle.
Sometimes I suggest a teddy bear or blanket, something to make them feel at ease.
I document that moment, that person, and their place.
It is a special time together, too.
We get to talk,play,and create together.
I like to work this way.
It's natural to me.

I'd Like To introduce myself...

I'm Jenn, I'm a photographer, illustrator, proud mom of two,and I have my own wedding & portrait photography business. I am the shooteer, designer, business manager, and go-getter. I'm a documentary-style shooter, so I don't fuss with big lights, or big productions. I shoot to capture my clients' story, not to make the story up. A lot of people appreciate that way of photographing. I love doing it!
Ever since I was 3 years old I had one goal in mind when I grew up = to be an artist. I went to college and received an associates degree in fine arts & then a bachelor of fine arts degree in photography.

I still go with the motto = "Do what you love to do! No one can tell you you're doing it wrong!"
