Be Inspired Photography

A portrait session should be an enjoyable experience that captures the individuals personality, the essence of who they are. Bob understands that creating a fun, relaxed environment helps make this happen. Using his experience with the time of day for location sessions, his extensive knowledge in the ways of nature with his beach sessions, the technologies of photography and contemporary life-style posing are all important elements involved in the creation of a successful portrait session. Every assignment is approached as a unique opportunity to create a complimenting memory of that person or family for generations to come
