Photographer in Herndon, Virginia

Instagram: jsree60 I work full time for living. Love photography, basically its my hobby. I'v been taking pictures for a long time but not professionally however my photoshoot pix are on par with some pro pix. My first camera was Canon AE1 (film camera). loved it so much. I had only one lens then but I covered our house warming function, my brother’s wedding and my cute nieces. Looking back I see most of my photography has been covering kids Happy Birthday parties or capturing their actions. I use (prefer) to use my Canon 180mm macro lens on kids and on women - at least a few shots as the pix come out with sharper eyes and nice skin tone. I like to take pictures to enjoy photography and work with people who really want to preserve sweet memories. I know lots of people do not feel comfortable in front of the camera, my sister is one of them but I was able to manage to shoot nice shots of her. My niece has very less patience in front of the camera but I had one full session with her and she loved the pix. My second niece is my model, when we meet we shoot till we get tired?. My nieces are the best models and critics I have :) I don't do photography for living but I do it, to create something beautiful. Whether its a person or bird or nature: when I get a picture perfect shot it makes me feel great. I would like to work with all age groups shooting specially head-shots, profile, single portraits, family shots, small celebrations like birthday parties and new borns (you have to set/pose your baby-no flash directly used) Lets work together and have fun and create beautiful memories for you and for your family Frist 2 pictures are my friend's pix (married and working in IT, who gracefully gave me permission to post) and the other one is my sister's casual shot taken in a park I slightly edit all my pictures in LR or PS. My editing is limited to make the picture look natural and elegant. For kids I love to add Disney characters to make it more fun. I can show the pix on my iPad if you are interested. My website (still under construction) is http://....com You will know more about me there. Thanks for checking my profile. You want a beautiful shot I am here for you. When you plan a session pls do following if you like: Plan what you want to wear and location ahead of time. Check out the youtube videos on how to pose (if you are interested). I like the pro guy 'peter hurley ' videos. If you are like me, workout a bit the previous day Make sure that you had good dinner and slept well previous night. Take long shower (if possible) and relax for a while before you get ready Have some light breakfast or lunch depending on the time of the day- at least 2hrs before the shoot The most important thing: Feel good and happy. If not all of the above won't help :) Cheers
