The Difference

Why should I have Whitesell Photography take our pictures?

My best friend has one of those big fancy cameras and has offered to take some pictures for my family!

While good equipment is important to getting great pictures, it is only a small part of the formula.

it’s almost like asking a surgeon what brand of scalpel he uses…

“Oh, you use a size #10 Feather brand scapel blade? Great!! I’ll go down to the surgical supply shop and pick some up so I can do some weekend surgery!!”

While do-it-yourself surgery may not be as realistic as having a friend take your family picture, it illustrates the point perfectly:

Only years of training and skill will give you the best results – even with great equipment.

Years of training and experience make the difference between a snapsot and an heirloom family portrait that will become more cherished as your family grows up.

Here’s a great example:

Now let’s look at what Whitesell Photography did with the same couple, taken at the same session:

What makes a great portrait?

A current style that looks like it came from a magazine rather than your parents’ photo album.
Soft, flattering lighting that shapes your face and makes your eyes sparkle with life.
Natural and comfortable posing and expression—never awkward, fake or ‘posed.’
The Whitesell Photography guarantee that you’ve gotten the very best
