 It is always an honor when a client is referred to you via word-of-mouth!  This makes me feel that I am doing things right in my photography business.  This client, Front Porch Improv, was referred to me by two different sources!  Thank you for the referrals you all.  Keep them coming! 

I had the absolute pleasure of working with the talented folks from Front Porch Improv in a studio photo session that was equal parts chaotic, creative, and utterly delightful. The group's infectious energy and commitment to being their authentic selves made for a truly unforgettable experience.
 
With over nine groups participating, each with their own unique portrait theme, the session was a whirlwind of laughter, excitement, and artistic expression. From improv stars to behind-the-scenes wizards, every individual brought their own brand of quirkiness to the shoot, making for some truly standout images.
 
Throughout the session, I was blown away by the group's enthusiasm and willingness to let loose in front of the camera. Whether they were striking a pose, cracking jokes, or simply being themselves, the Front Porch Improv crew brought an undeniable spark to every shot.
 
The resulting photographs are a testament to the group's creativity, camaraderie, and dedication to their craft. Each image is a snapshot of a moment in time, frozen forever in a burst of laughter, color, and joy.
 
I'm thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with Front Porch Improv and can't wait to see what the future holds for this talented group. If you're looking for a photographer who can capture the essence of your creative endeavors, I'd love to chat!

Your vehicle is more than a mode of transportation, it’s a reflection of your personality, a symbol of your car passion and a work of art. Darren reached out to me after seeing my car photography work from a recent car show I attended. He’s owned his 2008 Corvette Z06 for over four years now and always wanted to have a photo session with his prized possession. 

His Flash Factor Photography car session included a mix of full body images, detail images and owner portraits with the car. Time of day lighting really affects the results for car photography. The full body images were taken during golden hour and blue hour with professional off camera lighting while the detail images were taken in morning natural daylight because of darkness the night before. 

​The car location backdrops included an abandoned self serve car wash, 13 Stars Event Venue courtyard and local streets in Springfield, GA.  Isn’t it time to get your car photographed?

As a photographer, you meet and work with so many different people over the years.  Just like in life, I guess, you sometimes connect with a person and every once in a while you REALLY CONNECT with a person.  Phil, is one of those people where we instantly connected.  It's one of those relationships where you feel like you've known the person for years.  I actually met Phil Beach at a local Savannah, GA photography event.  Phil is a recording artist, writer, and poet. He can be found online at www.itsphilbeach.com where you can listen to some of his music.  I've had the privilege of photographing Phil many times now in-studio and on-location at Tybee Island Beach.  Let me just say that each instance has produced some stellar images!  Phil used the image of him sitting on the floor as his song cover release artwork for "Exquisite" which is an amazing feeling and honor!

​Christmas photos don’t have to be a daunting task. Misha reached out saying she wanted a fun Christmas photo session with her two children who don’t like to be photographed. I explained as a professional photographer in Savannah we could knock it out quickly and I would direct the posing and capture some great smiles and deliver keepsake images she would treasure!

This is why working with a professional photographer can make all the difference in simply working with just someone with a camera. Families and young children can be tough at times keeping everyone engaged and using poses that not only work but look great! I was able to navigate the family through their photo session using multiple backdrops, lighting techniques and use of some fun Christmas props. 

Here's Misha's quote after seeing her family's images:

"I am in LOVE with these pictures and David exceeded my expectations!  This was a great experience and you made it so easy.  My kids dread taking pictures, but you made it fun for them, which made it stress free for me!  Now I have gorgeous pictures to cherish, thank you so much David!"  - Misha M. (Family Portrait Photography)

I think the photos are proof enough showing we had a fun time with laughs and smiles! Reach out to get your Savannah family photo session scheduled today - General Contact Inquiry!

Flash Factor Photography is excited to announce a relocation move to Savannah, GA. The relocation to Savannah in the next 4-6 weeks will allow me to photograph year round with less of a slow winter (down) season. It will also allow me to incorporate the historic Savannah architecture/urban setting, Savannah waterways, and Tybee Island beach setting into photography to offer a wide array of scenery for your photo session locations which further enhances the unique Flash Factor Photography experience.  

With this announcement if you/your family has wanted a Flash Factor Photography photo session but you haven’t acted on it to schedule there’s still time to do so. Flash Factor Photography still has some open session day/times through the end of April 2023 to get your session in before the move takes place. 

​I am excited for the move to Savannah and what the future holds for me, my family and Flash Factor Photography!

​Below you will find some images I took in Savannah, Georgia on a recent scouting trip!

As 2022 comes to an end, reflection floods my mind and heart with fun times, laughs, getting dirty, getting wet...sometimes you do what you have to do in order to "GET THE SHOT!"

My job as a photographer has taken me to so many amazing places/locations over the years and in 2022.  Some locations are breathtaking while others one must use their imagination to "SEE THE SHOT!"  Sometimes the most awkward location/photo spot produces an amazing image! 

Yes, I have stood atop mountains, battled currents chest high in streams, laid chest down in wet street puddles, battled bugs kneeling in waist high grasses, and lying flat on my belly in the dirt of a baseball field. Other times I may be dodging oncoming traffic or waiting on a stoplight to provide that opportune moment to capture the shot! I have leaned against light posts, telephone posts, street signs, trees, a building, a large rock, a car, a wall, and my camera bag to get special angle for the shot.  

While it is true that a picture is worth a thousand words what some of these behind the scenes (BTS) images don't convey is the ten degree temperature with zero degree windchill, 100 degree temperature of the August sun beating down, the cool temperature of the water as I wade in waist high or chest high even, the feeling of the cool breeze that cooperated and provided a natural model hair wind machine, or the laughs shared between subject, parent(s), and myself!  At times the nitty gritty grunge work (not highly praised) is what pushed that one image over the top!

A Flash Factor Photography photo session is definitely NOT a stuffy, pocket protector, or rigid type of photo session.  It is fun, creative, and adventurous.  There will be laughs!  I have even shed a few tears at times.  These BTS images don't show the blood, sweat, and tears that is exerted but it does show the passion I have for photography and working my behind off to make EVERY photo session unique and one-of-a-kind!

I am passionate about photography and capturing you in your element - sometimes even capturing you out of your element because the contrast of a beautiful ballroom gown in an urban setting or a cello underneath a concrete bridge just ROCKS!

2022 has been a good year for me and Flash Factor Photography.  I look forward to the adventures the future holds for my clients, my family and for me!

What is your vision for a photo session?  I am ALWAYS up for adventure!  Reach out and schedule a time to discuss your unique photo session and how we can make it even better as a Flash Factor Photography session!

What a super fun family maternity session.  Sara and Kourosh reached out wanting to combine a maternity and family photo session. 

We held their session at Inniswoods Metro Park because of the variety of backdrops it provides within the park itself.  Plus, the park offered croaking bull frogs and snakes to search for keeping dad and son busy while I photographed mom alone in her outfits. 

Super fun session and I am so thrilled for this family to add another child (spoiler: it's a boy) to their family! Reach out to schedule your Flash Factor Photography maternity photo session today!
