Pet portraits to benefit the Peninsula SPCA!

The dog (and cat!) days of summer are here again! July 16, 17, 18, and 25th we will have our annual fundraiser for the Peninsula SPCA, which serves Hampton, Newport News and Yorktown Virginia. In exchange for a $30 donation for one pet or $40 for two pets you will receive a short photo session and one 5x7" portrait. All species are welcome! (no tigers please). Sign up here! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0f4babab29a57-thedog

What's the difference between you and my neighbor who does photography on the side?

There are a lot of photographers out there and that's not a bad thing; different photographers have different styles and specialties. We are not a "one size fits all" industry! But if you aren't sure why you should choose me over your friend Bob who has a really nice camera and won't charge you much at all...well, this video does a nice job of explaining why you should choose a professional.

Getting back to work after quarantine

As we start to ease back into sessions following the restrictions for #COVID19 I wanted to talk about what that will look for our studio. With Phase One, beginning on May 15th I plan to start doing sessions at people's homes, outdoors only. This will allow them to continue to abide by the stay-at-home order and still get portraits done. I have a backlog of sessions to catch up on so any new inquiries will be put behind those until there is a particularly time-sensitive need. When the stay-at-home order expires on June 10th I will start doing on-location sessions and studio sessions again. Only one family will be in the studio at a time and I will take appropriate precautions such as cleaning surfaces between sessions and wearing a mask myself or maintaining social distancing during sessions. If you have any questions regarding the procedures at the studio please don't hesitate to ask!
