Headshots / Business Portraits in NYC & Family Portraits in OBX

Lots of amazing portraits created recently, some on the beaches of Corolla and Duck in the Outer Banks of North Carolina and some on the streets of Manhattan in New York City.

Outer Banks Photographers in Duck OBX

As simple as these images look it takes a great deal of skill and planning in order to create them properly – you don’t just have a couple of kids run on the beach or have a guy stand on some street corner in the meat packing district. Among the things one needs to take into account the subjects size, clothing, the background, the direction and quality of the light – will any additional light help the image? – before all that you need to establish a rapport with the subject(s) to put them at ease so that they will look great.

Images like these don’t just happen, they take a lot of planning and experience from the photographer.

In the book Outliers, author Malcolm Gladwell says that it takes roughly ten thousand hours of practice to achieve mastery in a field, not many photographers these days have that much experience in their career, let alone in each of the many different disciplines of portrait photography.

But don’t worry, after nearly 37 years I have my 10,000 hours in on all types of portraits, because a business portrait in New York  City is an entirely different challenge than a portrait of two children on the beach in Long Beach Island in New Jersey or in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

So if you would like some information on how I work with my clients call me anytime at 800.646.5812

New Jersey Outer Banks  Portrait Photographers & Real Portraits 

So earlier today I was stopped by this portrait of my son when he was two years old………that was twenty years ago. It is a 5×7 that is displayed in our family room and I see it every day, but today I just stopped and stared at it for a while, then I wondered how many people have a real portrait of their child, and not just a whole bunch of pictures on their phone. And not a cheesy portrait taken by someone that they know who has a good camera, but a real, honest to goodness portrait that stands the test of time. One that is displayed properly to enjoy just about every day, and not just a bunch of digital files on your computer that you never look at, digital files that you are going to lose anyway when you accidentaly delete them or when your computer crashes, then what?

Do you have one? One created by a real portrait photographer, and if not why? It really doesn’t even cost that much, not much different than a dinner at a great restaurant, and you’ll have the portrait forever, and enjoy it every day. When you leave the restaurant it’s over.

The good news is that it’s never too late to get started having real portraits made

of your children and family.

Because the portrait that you commission with me today is the one that you will be enjoying in your home in twenty years.

Let’s face it, photographers are a dime a dozen these days.  Just because someone has an “expensive” camera does not make them a photographer.  I hear from clients all the time that they let a neighbor, acquaintance or “mom’s friend” do their portraits and things went horribly.  Then they came to me.

It takes a lot more than a new camera and a “little” experience taking photos of family members and neighbors to create great photos.  Save yourself the headache and disappointment by allowing me to create your custom portrait session and images that you will be thrilled with.

And on another note, I’ve been getting in a lot of miles recently. Yesterday I passed the 500 mile mark for the year, and the running streak has hit 2,915 days!

More snow that I expected on the trails yesterday in Stephens State Park and today in the Deer Path section of Allamuchy State Park, both in New Jersey. Hope there is not any snow on my run on the beach in Corolla this Tuesday :-)
