Creative Portrait & Event Photographer (Based in the Vail Valley)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve just returned to the States from years of working\/living abroad and have now relocated to, and am scouting some additional income in, the Vail Valley.<\/p>\n

I worked as a professional portrait and event photographer for a major resort and found the work entertaining. I’ve since carried professional gear across a few major continents (which you’ll see represented in my gallery) and would like to put that expensive camera kit to work locally.<\/p>\n

Less than a “job,” I’m looking for creative assignments with people seeking creative perspectives. Less interested in anything staged, it’s my creative mission to capture authentic and candid expressions and exposures. So if you have a special event, person, or idea that you’d like to capture eternally in print, I’d love to discuss it with you.<\/p>\n

Ideas like:<\/p>\n

– Activity\/action shots of a student playing his favorite instrument or her passionate sport.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– Documenting the birth of a child or capturing those priceless and fleeting tummy shots the month before.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– Capturing a wedding’s less-formal and more candid details.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– Catching the interactions & expressions of family at their favorite hobby or activity.
\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– A newborn on his\/her first day of life. (You are the last person that should be holding a camera!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– Capturing the tenderness of a couple – be they curled up on the couch, holding hands during birth, or hiking in aspens.<\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– A toddler with his or her favorite stuffed animal, book or best friend.<\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– A group of best girlfriends, or an interesting composition of extended family or generations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– Capturing a child in his or her favorite activity or performance – be that sleeping, eating, rolling in mud, or just playing hide and seek:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– Documenting a young actor or actress in performance\/costume:<\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– A creative shot of your priceless pet.<\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– A new, creative, angle on your work place, co-workers, event or trade.<\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– Someone to professionally capture candid faces at a family reunion or celebration.<\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– Someone to hold the camera while you’re busy with your view.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– The creative self portrait you’ve always wanted (and deserve).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– Or just that (fleeting) family portrait that requires you (mom) to get out from behind the camera.<\/p>\n

So if you have an idea and are ready to work with me, personally, and on a creative, invested and cooperative level, please email me: solbeam@gmail.com.<\/p>\n

For now, I’m flexible with cost: if you’re happy, you can either purchase prints or, if you’d rather just get a CD full of images (between 50 – 200), I’m currently scheduling 1 hr sessions for a $100 flat fee. That includes black & white copies of all images, some touch up work, and 1-2 CD’s of high resolution photos.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, my print portfolio is currently inaccessible. But to see some additional faces I’ve recently shot, you can visit the following online gallery:<\/p>\n
