"A photographer makes his negative not with his hand but with his brain."
Thank you for visiting our website. It is our hope that this site will provide answers to your questions and give you direction as you research your photography needs.
Although we have been commissioned to photograph objects such as products, homes, etc., our specialty is photographing people. Photographing objects has its challenges but photographing people has its rewards. We enjoy immortalizing moments like the natural expressions of a family interacting with each other, or the soft expression of a childs smile. The bottom line is that through photography we help people remember the special times in their lives like weddings, high school graduations, the birth of a child, engagements, etc.
As you can see from our menu above we photograph people for all types of reasons and occasions.
Business Portraits We help business professionals make a great first impression. We do this by first finding out what type of impression they want to make. Do they want to come across friendly, confident, approachable? Once we have determined the look they want we create that look through lighting, camera angle, posing and expression. The digital file is theres to use for their website and printed materials.
Childrens Portraits As parents, we are well aware of how fast our children grow up. What better way of capturing those precious moments in our child's life than with a children's portrait. Children's portraiture enriches the lives or our children with a sense of heritage. If your family has a value for history and tradition then you will want to enrich your child's life with fine child portraits that they will some day show to their own children.
Family Portraits Your family's portrait should not only capture warm genuine expressions, but should also be a true representation of your family's personality. At Oliver Photography we believe that "one setting doesn't fit all". That's why we encourage you to select a family portrait location that reflects your family. Your family portrait can be created in the comfort of your own home, in the scenic outdoor surroundings, or under the controlled lights of our studio - it's your choice.
Every family portrait includes a pre-portrait consultation. It is during this consultation that we discuss your expectations, family portrait location, clothing and portrait style. Call us today to explore ideas for your family's portrait!
Headshots If auditions are your thing then you need clean, crisp head shots that express your personality and reveal the star within and you typically need them fast. Thats where we can help you. First, we do not limit the number of photographs taken. Second, you view your photographs immediately on our giant 52 scene (WOW). Third, you select your favorite poses and watch with amazement as the retouching begins! But remember with a headshot we just remove the blemishes and stray hair - They want to know the real you. Finally, your finished headshot is delivered to you on a CD. The image can be used for all of your headshot needs!
High School Senior Portraits
For us high school senior pictures are more than just pictures, its helping high school students feel good about themselves. During the portrait session there is a lot of talking as we walk from photo spot to photo spot. If we observe that a student is making good choices in life well encourage that. We also try to help them feel good about the way they look. Not everyone fits into the beautiful people category but there is something beautiful and unique about everyone and well draw that out.
Wedding Photography When it comes to wedding photography we help brides and grooms feel comfortable on their wedding day and confident that their pictures will turn out they way they want. We help them feel confident by taking time to get a feel for their style and tastes and photograph accordingly. We help them feel comfortable by approaching their wedding as a wedding and not a photo shoot. Therefore, what we do fits their day instead of having their day come to a halt.
