Though it was such a good time with some wonderful outcomes, one thing that has become abundantly clear to me is just how accustomed we all are to spending as little time as possible when having our photos taken. Perhaps it's from years and years of sitting on a stool for the whole of 2 minutes to get a couple snaps for the years school photo/yearbook. Perhaps it's from past encounters with old-school photographers making it obnoxiously clear to you just how valuable their time is over your own. Or maybe it's just the anxiety-inducing desire for just "one good shot." Whatever the case, It's important to consider time when getting your portraits taken and consider it in the sense that it is your time, therefore you should take your time. In my experience, great portrait photography is indeed about light manipulation, choice of lens and setting, naturally. But just as important is the "vibe" of the encounter with subjects, especially neurodivergent subjects. 

We look forward to continuing our service to this community and sharing these wonderful outcomes we take so much pride in.
