Chapin J. Photography - Portrait & Lifestyle Photography

Photography is my passion project. I dabbled in it throughout my teenage years and took a few courses in college, but last year I finally bit the bullet. In October, 2017, Chapin J. Photography was officially created. I primarily offer portrait & lifestyle photography.

What exactly does portrait & lifestyle photography entail? Specifically, portraits tend to focus on a single person, such as a model, or a group of people, like families or couples. Lifestyle photography is all about capturing these portraits and people in specific candid moments - such as postpartum sessions or gender reveals.

My reason is this: people fascinate me, and I consider it a privilege to document notable parts of their lives. Portrait photography is so intimate, but it is amazing to see how sessions progress from feeling like awkward strangers to close friends once the session wraps. I have stayed in touch with all of my clients, many whom I've become close friends with. This is a wonderful perk that keeps me motivated to continue booking more shoots.

I define myself through creative post-processing and photo editing. Recently, I've been incorporating smoke grenades, as they provide an ethereal, color-rich environment for models and clients to immerse themselves within. Smoke grenades can be used anywhere from creative projects to gender announcements to engagement shoots. They always offer a unique and beautiful final product.

There is a quote by Albert Pine that goes,

"What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal."

I truly hope that the photos I offer to my clients are special - and not only that, I hope the entire experience of being photographed makes them feel special. There are many things in the world that can make us doubt ourselves, our beauty, or our self-worth - seeing photos of yourself that you can actually love can counteract that.
