My name is Chris and I've been a product designer for the last 20+ years. During that time, I've also been a photographer for friends and family taking prom pictures, senior pictures, family portraits and even an impromptu wedding. I'm excited to offer my skills to the Canyon Lake community and surrounding Hill Country area. A little about my new business:
You know how people say, "don't quit you
r day job"? Well, I'm not ;) I still enjoy designing products and I love the people I work with so my 8-5 during the week isn't going away anytime soon. That said, my new photography business specializes in outdoor, natural light photography, and I find the best times for shooting is typically late afternoon/evenings near sunset. Locations can vary depending on what you like. If you have a scenic home or property, I can come to you. Otherwise, there are tons of scenic public spaces here in the Hill Country where we can meet. We can also travel to the San Antonio or Austin areas but keep in mind that there may be an additional fee included to cover time and milage the further we go from Canyon Lake. Typical photo sessions last in the 30-60 minute range but if we run over a bit, it’s probably fine provided I don’t have another appointment. We can stay at one location or travel to as many as you'd like during your session time. Wardrobe changes can also happen as often as you'd like keeping in mind the session time and location as some places may not have rooms to change clothing. If you'd like to schedule a longer session to cover multiple locations or changes that will surpass an hour, we can do that as well. During your session, it helps to have someone with you to help combat stray hairs or clothing that get caught in the wind, help with any wardrobe changes, prop hand offs or possibly providing some shade or additional light with some reflectors I will bring. I have an assistant that I made 16 years ago that I can sometimes bring to help but she's not always available. Once your session is complete, I'll take the images back and sort through them. I'll get them cleaned up within a few days and send you a link to see the digital proofs. You can then choose up to 8 shots and I will get you full sized digital images with a release so you can take them anywhere you like to make prints. No more picking packages and trying to figure out who in the family gets the 8x10's vs the 5x7's. You can print exactly the amount and sizes you need at the quality you want. If you need help picking a place, I have several options to recommend. If you like more than the 8 included in your session, additional images can be purchased. Sound like something you'd be interested in pursuing? Give me a call or message me to talk through the details. I'd love to capture some moments with you and your family!
