When Not All Portrait Photography Is Alike

No, this isn’t a blog post about one photographer being better than another or why you need to look for a photographer with specific training or portfolio. It is about understanding different types of portrait photography, so that you can best choose a photographer. Since this is not a subject many consider, I believe it is worth mentioning.

The Value of Great Photography

I see it a lot from many sources, most typically social media posts that query connections: “Does anyone know anyone good with a camera who isn’t too expensive?” I see these queries for Wedding Photographers, Portrait Photographers, Event Photographers, Real Estate Photographers, … heck, practically all types of photography. I see these requests in on-line ads from people querying absolute strangers. These posts and …

Testimonials

I have never been as happy with any photographs as I am with the ones I received from Janice! It makes a huge difference to have such professional headshots for social media sites and, well, it just really makes you feel good about yourself. Also, I found Janice to be extremely patient and accommodating when I arrived for the photoshoot. I did not realize that what I brought to wear was not quite right for the types of photos being taken, so she assisted me in adjusting my attire.... she loaned me a couple of turtlenecks that were perfect! I highly recommend Janice D Nelson Photography if you are in the market for extraordinarily great headshots or portraits - you will in no way be disappointed!

Wendy P.Never been so happy!
I worked with Janice on my professional headshot. It was a great experience. As a new professional, Janice helped me navigate what I wanted to accomplish with my picture. During the shoot, Janice worked to get to know my personality and have it come out in the photos. While narrowing down the photos, Janice’s knowledge and a keen eye for shots helped me to select my favorites.

Alexandra T.Picture Perfect Portraits!
Janice is a very skilled photographer. She took the time to interview me to fully understand my goals and offered wonderful suggestions on how to capture the best professional images for my needs. The session was low key and she created an atmosphere that helped me relax. We found a good creative groove that produced some fantastic photos. Her turn around time for post processing was faster than I expected. I would highly recommend Janice to anyone seeking professional headshots.
