About Jeannine Frazier
After graduating from
the University of Oregon with a degree in Photography and Visual
Design, I began my career as a Multimedia Artist, and ended up as a
Design Director at
Microsoft Studios. I've worked with digital
multimedia in almost every way imaginable. I continued to
pursue photography by keeping my own traditional
(film-based) darkroom lab at home. I wanted to find a way to
combine my passion for photography with my skills as a
designer, so when digital
photography reached a point where it became
indistinguishable from traditional photography I
started Delphena Digital.
About Delphena Digital
I combine my design and
technical skills to create beautiful portraits which capture
the uniqueness of your family. My focus is on creating
simple, elegant, and artistic portraits of pregnancy,
babies, children, and families. Having a new baby ourselves,
our home-based studio offers a relaxing and friendly
atmosphere for new parents and their babies. Clients can preview their proofs online
within a few days of their session. Then an order can be
placed with me via email or telephone.
The Difference
between Professional Digital and Home Digital
A lot of people think,
"why spend all that money on studio portraits,
especially digital ones, when I can buy my own digital
camera, shoot pictures, and have the prints developed at
Costco?"
-
I've
had 10 years of experience in photography and
digital multimedia - I know what makes a good shot;
how to set up poses; how to use lighting; how to
manage quality, color, and resolution; and how to
achieve outstanding prints.
-
I've
invested in all professional-grade equipment from
start to finish. There is a huge quality difference
between consumer digital equipment and professional
digital equipment.
-
You
leave this technical work to me, and you get
priceless portrait heirlooms.
-
Our
prints are archival quality and should last upwards
of 75 years. You will probably not achieve this with
Costco, or a home-based printer.
Even more Digital
Benefits
Digital photography has
evolved so quickly over the last 5 years, it's become a
whole new arena. It's finally on par with film on many
levels, and many professional photographers are
switching to digital. Here are some of the reasons I
chose to use digital equipment:
-
Instant proofing
capability
-
Shorter
turn-around time
-
No changing film every 3
minutes (we use 1 & 2GB cards)
-
Better image control,
easy touch-up for blemishes & tattoos,
etc.
-
No messy
or toxic chemicals
-
Complete elimination of
film scratches or dust
-
Precise
color management
-
Reduced
cost
-
DVD and CD
archival media
-
Infinite
life-span for the "negatives"

clients say.
