Jason was very fun to work with and made the whole photo shot painless. I got amazing pictures and he made the process very easy for me. I ended up getting the edited pictures in 4 days!! Also if you get the chance to have hair and makeup done, do it, Ducky is great!

Jason came to my home with a wonderful make-up artist and, together, they created a warm and welcoming environment for me to have a headshot done. The results were terrific, and I could not be more pleased. So thank you Jason!!!

This is the second year Jason has taken photographs for my son’s prom. He was able to get exquisite photos and both kids had a really good time. Jason made them both feel comfortable during the session and as a result he was able to get real smiles from both of them. I would absolutely recommend him for any photo shoot you need done.

Jason Guy did an amazing job with my headshot. He created a studio-style headshot for me using his custom-built ring light. Even though I usually feel awkward in front of the camera, Jason made me feel comfortable and directed me perfectly. I’m completely blown away by the quality of the photo. His direction and custom light created a unique and authentic look that I absolutely love. Highly recommend!

Jason Guy did a wonderful job capturing photos for me and my wife. Although he's usually a Sonoma wedding photographer, I asked if he’d be willing to travel to our destination wedding in the Eastern Sierras, and I'm so glad I did! The whole wedding process can be overwhelming, especially for a destination wedding, but Jason helped us design a timeline that made our day stress-free and allowed time to capture dream photos of us. The photos look amazing, and I literally can't imagine having my wedding captured by anyone else. Thank you, Jason!

Jason is Awesome! He is a very talented photographer. His pictures are amazing and he is able to pose any body type for classy, sexy photos. He has mastered classic portraits, high fashion and oh my goodness what he does with direct sunlight, shadows and mirrors, especially in a location he has never been to; just breath taking! He is so friendly and personable, he builds your confidence and ensures you are having a great experience from hair and makeup to your last picture. His prints and albums are very high quality too. The experience was truly life change, the confidence and satisfaction I have from my pictures are more than I expected. I can't wait do do another shoot with him.

FAQ

Below, I’ve compiled answers to some of the most common inquiries I receive to help you prepare for your portrait session and understand what to expect. If you have any other questions, check out my Portrait FAQ or contact me here.

How to Look Better In Portraits

There isn’t just one thing you can do to look better in your portraits. Instead, it’s a combination of little, easy steps that add up to better quality photos. This is called “styling” and it’s why before every portrait session, we start with a planning call to discuss the details of the portraits you want.  This call will also help me prepare accordingly for the look you’re going for. 

If this all feels overwhelming, don’t worry! I’m here to help! If you’d like to learn more about my process or check out some of the stuff we’ll cover in your styling call, you can check out the following posts below,
