Tee Morris: I’ll Die When I’m Done
Taken while we talked about Hamlet
The needs of writers today for photography are more expansive than ever. Writers are often expected to have more than an excellent photo for a book jacket, but to have photos for conventions, blogging, podcasting twitter and facebook, in a variety of styles, expressing a range of emotions.
J.R. Blackwell is one of the most talented people I know. -Tee Morris
Writers connecting to their audience want photos that do more. This is a challenge I totally understand and enjoy.
Many writers often feel they are not photogenic enough for photos. I understand that feeling and I do my best to make writers feel and look good when we take photos, taking a variety so that clients can choose the photos that are right for them.
Ursula Vernon, author of Digger
My rate for photography is $120 per hour, and I recommend that writers book at least two hours for their shoot. My rate covers the shoot, the hosting for the online gallery and the post processing of 5 images per hour. A makeup artist (highly recommended) can be provided for an extra fee.
“A photographer for those of us who believe we photograph badly.” -Ursula Vernon

Testimonials
“You made me interested in seeing myself. I don’t dislike myself, by any stretch. But I’m never fascinated to see myself. I never look at me, and say, “Whoa. Who is that dude?” You made me do that. You made me feel like I was supposed to be seen. I’ve never felt that way before.” – David A. Hill Jr.
