Your Bio

Dear Friend,

Your family is changing so fast, isn't it? Your children (and yes, they will be your "children" even when they're married and have kids of their own) are growing up, and becoming more like adults every day. Don't you wish you could just "freeze time" and hold these special moments forever?

 

 

How Do You Choose The Right Photographer? The 5 (or more) Things You DIDN'T Know To Ask:

 

 

 

If you're like most people, you probably get a bit overwhelmed as you go through the Yellow-Pages and realize there are a lot of photographers to choose from. How do you decide who to go to?

 

 

No Matter Who You Decide On To Be Your Photographer, These Are Things You NEED To Know...

 

My goal is simple: I want your photographs to be perfect. Therefore, regardless of whether you decide to have me create your photographs or not, I still want you to know about the things most photographers DON'T want you to know about.

There's no cost, and no obligation to just chat with me and it will make the whole difference as to how great your portraits will look. Simply call 207-577-5112 contact me by phone, just to chat.

Don't worry. I'm not going to try to "sell you" on working with me. I'm already very busy, and I don't need to pressure anyone to work with me as a photographer. I'll just talk to you about your portraits, and help you discover what your photographs could be like.

If you decide to have me create your portraits - great. If not, no problem. 

My unbeatable 100% satisfaction guarantee: 

My passion is bringing joy to families through capturing the special moments in their lives - If you do not absolutely love the images that we create together, then I am not doing my job...If we do not produce the most natural, original, and captivating portraits your family has ever had taken, the work is on me.

If you are not THRILLED with your photographs - if you are dissatisfied for ANY reason at all, I will do two things for you:

1st - At NO CHARGE, I will photograph your family again, and make sure that anything that wasn't perfect is fixed, without you paying another cent.

2nd - If I am absolutely unable to thrill you - if I'm unable to create a photograph that you feel you will cherish forever, I will refund EVERY PENNY you invested in them. You don't pay for your photographs unless you love them beyond expression!

If I don't end up being your photographer, make ABSOLUTELY SURE your photographer offers this strong of a guarantee. If they are good, they should back up their work by taking all the risk off of you.

If you're at all like most people, you've probably had this question going through your mind: "How do I choose the right photographer?" In fact, you may even have thought of someone in your family - an uncle, a grandparent, even a friend - who is a bit of an amateur photographer. Why not just has that person create the photograph of your family?

Question: "Just Suppose Someone Were To Create The Perfect Family Portrait - One Where You And Your Loved Ones Looked Better Than Ever, Happier Than Ever - A Portrait That Meant The World To You - What Would That Be Worth?"

No price tag can be put on your family's memories. They are and always will be priceless. So, why would you ever want to gamble with those memories? It's just a question of whether you believe a portrait of your family could really mean that much to you.

If you were sick, and had to go to a doctor, would you want the "cheapest" doctor, or the best one? Well, there's really no question. It's the same thing with your family's memories. You can certainly find a cheaper photographer in town. But there are other things to consider than just price...

 

 

The Photographer You Choose Should Care About YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR MEMORIES, Not Just About "Making A Buck" Off You.

I pride myself on becoming a family friend of every family I photograph. I've even had some clients invite me to their houses for birthday parties and such.

I Realized That Memories Were Priceless - That There Was No More Noble Or Wonderful Profession Than To Become A "Memory Giver."

Do you know ANYONE who feels totally comfortable in front of a camera? I'll bet you don't. I don't. Nearly everyone I've ever met tells me the same thing: "I never look natural in pictures." The last thing you want is a photograph where you or your family members have that fake "posed" look on your face.

That's why it's so important that you feel very natural and comfortable with your photographer. Just think of how great your family would look if your best friend was creating the photograph. They would all look so happy and natural! I take pride in developing very close relationships with all my clients, and their entire family.

Plus, I understand the "psychology" of photography. Learning the technical aspects - what lenses to use, what lighting looks best, how clothing adds and subtracts weight in a portrait - all of those things was only the tip of the iceberg. Without being able to make each and every one of your family members look and feel comfortable (and natural) in a portrait, all those technical things would amount to nothing.

You'll NEVER hear me utter the words "say cheese."

That's a surefire way of getting expressions that look totally fake and unnatural. No - a great photographer knows that, in order to get a great expression from a subject, you need to get to know that subject a bit - to know what will make them smile naturally. That's what I do, and I love it! I will get to know your whole family so well, and they will feel so comfortable with me, that their expressions will be perfect every time.


WHAT SHOULD YOU DO RIGHT THIS SECOND? (and why?)

Pick up the phone, and call my studio at 207-577-5112.

Even if it's after business hours, still call right now. I've got an answering machine that is just waiting to cheerfully take your message, and I'll personally call you back so we can chat. Just let me know when a good time to call you back is. Don't worry; I'm not going to try to "pressure" you at all into working with me. Plus, there's no cost at all for us just to chat.

When you call, we'll chat briefly about the things you need to know. I'll tell you a bit about me. I'll answer all your questions about how to prepare for a family portrait. It won't be a long call, but it will be one of the most important calls you make.

First, Your Child Takes His or Her First Step. Next, Learns To Ride A Bike. Later, Gets A Driver's License. Graduates From High School. Gets Married. Starts A Family Of His or Her Own.

These are precious times, and although things will change, this moment never has to slip from your fingers.

Don't put this off. You know how life is. We put things off, and before we know it, everything has changed. If your life is half as crazy as mine is, year after year you find yourself frustrated at the things you wanted to do, and never got done. A family portrait is something you deserve.

 

Life is so terribly short. But, at the same time, life is such a wonderful gift. And the memories we keep of these moments with our family will last forever.


Why Your Family Portrait Will Become More Valuable To You Than Anything Else In Your Home:

Do you have a photograph of your family that, if you were running from your burning home, would be the one thing you save (other than your family members, of course) on the way out?

Now, I'm not talking about a "snapshot" that was taken during a family outing on the Fourth Of July. I'm talking about a wonderful photograph, created by a professional photographer that not only captures your family's true bonds and relationships, but also does so in a way that you'd be proud to display openly in your home for the rest of your life.

It's Not Too Late. This Moment, Right Now, Can Be Held Onto For The Rest Of Your Life - For You To Share With Family And Friends.

You don't have to make a big decision right now. You don't have to choose your photographer - you don't even have to decide that now is the time for your family portrait. Just take one small step toward holding onto your family's happiest moments RIGHT NOW.

 

Call 207-577-5112
for a quick, friendly chat! 

 

If I don't answer, just leave your name and number at the beep, and I'll call you back. If you're thinking of this family photograph as a GIFT FOR SOMEONE, let me know, so when I call back, I only ask for you, and don't spoil the surprise!


The Perfect Portrait, Wedding, or Event Album Is Only One Phone Call Away...

Make the call now. It will be a call you will be glad you made for the rest of your life.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Davin Currie,
Photographer/Vidoegrapher
