Services I Offer
Over the past few years I’ve started to primarily photograph weddings. I still shoot a variety of other subject matter as well!
I still offer a variety of portrait sessions including family, senior, couples, engagement, modeling, and branding sessions.
I offer headshots but don’t currently have my own studio space. Having access to an indoor location where I can set up my background and lights is required for studio portraits. Studio rental options are available locally in Midland, Saginaw, or Williamston for an additional fee. I’ll occasionally have headshot days at various locations as well.
I also sell fine art prints of my work spanning back to 2009. I’m currently working on a series of fine art photographs of Mid-Michigan. These prints can be purchased on my website ryanwatkinsphotography.net .
I’ll occasionally photograph events and commercial work.
I’ll also occasionally do retouching for other photographers as well.
Services I Don’t Offer
Due to not having a studio space yet I don’t offer newborn nor maternity sessions. I also don’t shoot boudoir.
