Portraits & Video for Social Media
Selfies are fine for sharing "here-and-now" moments and quick updates, but nothing beats high quality work done by a professional. We will find the best angles and positions, help you pose well, and take high quality photos, and post-process the best ones that will "wow" your followers. Using a professional photographer allows your photos to show you in more context than what hand-held selfies can acheive. Show off your outfit, give your followers a sense of place, and do more hands free.
