A portrait is perhaps one of the most personal gifts a person can give.  It is a gift that is an honor to receive.  Helping to design a portrait so that the desired effect is achieved, is one of the favorite parts of my job.  In making a portrait, it is important to know for whom the portrait is intended, where the photograph will be displayed and information about the subject / subjects of the portrait.  Knowing this assists in matching color schemes, styles and locations so that the portrait makes the statement you want to make If you think about it and try to recall what someone looks like (who is not in the room) our memories most frequently recall a picture of the person rather than the person in life.  Consequently, portraits become more valuable with time.  Making a portrait makes a memory.  Think about that when we set up your portrait session.  The result is a positive energy that really comes through in a photograph.
