Prior to the Shoot  I help the actor to create the right look for their market. My pre-production guidance includes suggestions for hair and clothes. If a hair change is suggested and acknowledged by the actor, I provide excellent hair-stylist referrals. Wardrobe suggestions are also provided; getting prepared makes the shoot go smoother. When people decide to shoot with me, there are many phone conversations, getting to know each other, going over details, etc. I make sure you are completely comfortable before you even get here.

Day of the Shoot  Before anything, we sit together, hang out, have a pleasant dialogue and exchange ideas. I listen to you because I want you to achieve your goals with these pictures. Your dreams are important to me.

Wardrobe  After we decide together what we want to accomplish, the actor then tries everything on before hair and makeup. This way, I can give feedback on how things look on, and how things "read". i.e. how old you may look in a particular outfit, etc. This way the actor feels comfortable and confident that perfect choices are being made.

Hair and Make-up  The make-up is clean, fresh and amazing. It is applied by me with total approval from the actor. Feedback is welcomed, so you are in control of what you look like. The goal is a natural approach that makes you look like you (on a real good day!).

Breathing and Relaxation Session  After all the left-brain choices are made, we now switch to the right-brain. By doing a 5-10 minute technique, I give you an opportunity to surrender, center and be present. People love this.

The Shoot  My shoots are easy and fun. I direct you simply in a loose, movement-oriented, natural environment. I don't use lights or meters; just you, me and one hand-held camera. I am very organic, non-technical, connected and truthful. I use clean, beautiful natural light. I do not shoot at you; we work together to create personal, powerful images that reflect your energy and individuality. I shoot digital or film and I shoot until I get it.

After the Shoot  After the shoot I will be happy to assist you in the process of choosing your photos by either phone, email, or in person, if you’d like. I work with one incredible lab that gives the same amazing, personal customer service that I do. After the shoot, you take our work directly to the lab and in two days, you’ll receive a digital proof sheet, 4X6 prints of each frame, and a CD all at a special rate of $28, which my lab extends to my clients. Everything I do is actor-friendly and this is just another stress-free process!
