I pride myself on my ability to use the appropriate lighting to create stunning portraits that capture the unique personality of each of my clients and am adept at using a variety of lighting setups from natural to bulb.  In post-production, I use a range of techniques to enhance the colors and textures of each photo or seamlessly add a greenscreen background resulting in images that are both beautiful and true to life.<\/p>\n<p><!----\nWhether the animal be human or four legged, all are beautiful subjects for portraits. Catching the right expression with the most flattering light, I will use anything from natural lighting to a six flash studio setup with bounce cards. \n\nMy most challenging was one of Western Michigan University\u2019s board of trustee\u2019s photo where the sun coming in from the windows on that particular day created a tricky but solvable lighting setup. Being photographed in the summer, the courtyard had to be digitally filled with students who we captured for several hours after the portrait was taken.\n\nHockey portraits allow us to photograph the player stopping on ice creating an action portrait or for younger players we can green screen them into the K-Wings locker room or on the game ice.-->[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=&#8221;1443,1466,1461,1459,1448,1435,1441,1431,1458,1465,1467,1439&#8243; posts_number=&#8221;12&#8243; orientation=&#8221;portrait&#8221; show_title_and_caption=&#8221;off&#8221; show_pagination=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Portrait Photography&mdash; ABOUT MY WORK As a portrait photographer, I&#8217;ve developed a keen eye for capturing the essence of my subjects in a single image.
