He looks stylish, coordinated, and clean. But what I like most is that he’s comfortable so he can relax and focus on being himself. There’s enough distraction with a camera around; who needs uncomfortable clothes on top of it? I always aim to reflect the moment, and the subject for who/what it is. These parents knew that to have a comfortable portrait that reflects their son’s real essence, he needed to be relaxed and comfortable.

What to Wear

And while we’re here . . . there’s a lot to ponder about the composition in this photograph; especially the use of lines.

Contact me now to book your appointment – space is limited.

As noted early this spring, I will also be available for portrait sessions in Iowa City on August 1st and 2nd. Thanks to those who have already reserved times. You’ve made it possible for me to offer these travel sessions without travel fees! If you’re in Iowa City and you haven’t booked your appointment, contact me soon – there is one remaining time slot.

Time to plan my travels. This summer I will be heading out to the midwest once again. I will be scheduling appointments in both Chicago and Iowa City in the near future. If you’re interested in booking an appointment, contact me as soon as possible! No flights have been booked on my end, so I might be able to accommodate your travel plans. Last year’s travels were great fun, and I was able to create a lot of memorable photos. Keep your eyes out for upcoming details.

This was one of my favorites from last year’s trip to Iowa City . . .
