Been a professional photographer in Los Angeles for a 20+ years. I love to extract the strengths from my subjects and pop their best features that appear subtle. My work takes on a soft and sensual presence that invites you to a place with that person as if you are with them or wish to be.

Experienced with over 20 years of photography.

Can shoot locally within Los Angeles and Orange County, outdoors or studio. I work most always with natural lighting and all my photos are rarely Photoshopped, I like to shoot and keep it raw, however I am versatile and can work with studio lighting an tons of retouch if that is your liking.

Rates are affordable, yet reasonable- not too high, not to low, and vary depending upon the time and needs invested into your shoot. Often subjects want larger than life ideas squeezed into a pocket budget, this is not me, you get more than you pay for however you got to pay well enough for my time. I am not cheap but I am not expensive. I offer quality and uniqueness with stylized imagery so if your wanting cheap, you can get it, on the next ad from someone else since there are plenty of shabby shooters out there willing to scrape up. But think about where your wanting these photos to go, who will be seeing and judging and selecting among thousands just like you. Do you want a basic head shot, or do you wanna stand out? Pay a little more, and go a long way.

Make Up and Hair will be extra if you request, as I will have to incorporate others for hire since I am after all, a photographer. I will edit and color balance and correct all images for you and place onto a DVD and ship or deliver with fast turn around. This experience is meant to be treated as professional and yet low key and productive. Pre planning is important and all work will be signed off and pre approved. Also, with respect to committing to your booking, 50% of your total payment will need be made in advance prior to the shoot, the balance due at time of completion, this determines those who are professional and mean business versus those who want to play dress up. In person, I am not such a hard ass, you have to understand, LA has an overload of people coming and going with big ideas of becoming "famous" and realize its harder than expected and can flake out on themselves and those around them. Those serious and dedicated, respectfully earn their way up. If you cant be right from the start of simply getting pictures managed for yourself, this may not be the line of work for you. So I am being as upfront about this now in taking you on and working together--trust me, you got to have tough skin in this industry.

Our actual shoot time, is meant to be fun and loose. No stress, just you being you, with some guidance if you need (I will see-you wont need to ask) some need a warm up, while others just naturally know how to work it.

Submit your inquiries and needs for an estimate and book your dates since schedule is consistently filling each time I post my ad. I will get back to your email same day or sooner.

Look forward to meeting you!

Thanks
Shaene
