Top 10 Things to think about when you're shopping for a great headshot photographer

When you’re shopping for a headshot photographer there are few things that you should really consider before you book a photographer.  Here’s my top 10 things I wish all my clients new before they ended up with a terrible shot from another photographer.

1.  There’s a huge difference between a headshot and a portrait.

I know it might not sound like the two are different but they are.  One is designed to sell you.  A headshot is all about the sale.  Who are you marketing yourself towards.  A photographer should understand your ‘client base’ and be able to create an image that really sells you to them.  A portrait is gre

Hudson Valley Engagement Photography { Rosie and Eric }

It’s been a while since I’ve put an engagement shoot up on the blog.  This one was from a while ago.  This cute couple is rosie and eric, and they were a blast to shoot.  They were just to embark on some major life changes too.  Rosie wanted to be a vet… but here’s the kicker she wanted to go to school out in scottland!  Pretty cool huh?  Yeah so these guys decided to get married in czech republic before they moved all the way out there.

They were a total blast to hang out with, Eric who’s a local barber had some really fun stories to tell about all his interesting clients.  And we just so happened to have perfect light for this day.  And I was able to capture some great images for these guys.  It’s fun when

Hudson Valley Portrait Photographer { Luccia Portraits }

Hudson Valley Photographer { Urban Decay }

First off if you’re looking for a Hudson Valley Photographer feel free to check out my main website.

It’s certainly rare that I do a series.  I find when I go out shooting that most of the time I end up with one or two photographs that I really like and everything else is just not up to par.  So I went out recently with a theme in mind, and I wanted to try and put together a whole series of shots.  And look at my film on a whole, and come up with a much larger set of shots.

I had been doing a bit of location scouting and driving around a bunch of really weird locations to try and find something along the lines of urban decay.

Hudson Valley Wedding Photographer { Jan + Andrew First Look }

First off if you’re looking for an wedding photographer take a look at my [Hudson Valley wedding photography](http://www.davebrownphotography.com/Hudson Valley-Wedding-Photographer.aspx “Wedding Photography Hudson Valley”) portfolio.

I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything.  I’ve felt really busy lately, but I think it’s just all in my head.  That and my throat hurt a bit so that kept me from doing the things that I really wanted to.  Like work on Jan and Andrews wedding photographs.  I have been desperately craving working on something creative.  But before I can have fun with the creative stuff I have to sort through all their images, and get ratings and stuff
