ABOUT OUR PORTRAITURE

With help of our clients, we can create images that succeed in portraying character, creating mood, or expressing relationships.  That is why we involve you in all aspects of planning your portrait; from determining your portrait needs and artistic desires, through the selection and completion of the final work.  It is this patient and careful planning that helps to make our portraits so pleasing to our clients and so satisfying for us personally. 

Our portrait sessions are never rushed.  Above all, we want to create portraits that will portray you, your family, or your children as well as we possibly can.  We are more than willing to take the time to do just that.  

The photographic image is only the raw material that we use to create your finished portraits.  The printed image is fully retouched, enhanced, and corrected with sensitively applied hand art work using dyes, oils, pastels, and pencils.  Finally, the finished portrait is sealed in a lacquer glaze for permanence and protection.  If you choose, the finished image can be embedded in artists’ canvas to add additional depth and texture. 

Your portrait, then, is truly an art work of a very personal nature.  As a decorative focal point of your home or office, it is a subtle reflection of your good taste and appreciation of fine workmanship, as well as a most appropriate expression of your personal style.

ABOUT OUR POLICIES

The portrait session creation fee is required to reserve the portrait session date.

The results of your portrait session will be viewed in the studio, where the images can be projected in the various sizes.  At that time, we will help you determine which portrait sizes and finishes will be suit your needs.

Because portraits are a custom product, the amount of the order is required when the order is placed.

Portraits used as office wall decor are fully tax deductible.  We will be happy to bill them to your company, should you indicate so.

Should you have any questions about our policies, or if we can be of any further help in planning your portrait, please call during regular office hours: Mon. - Fri. 9am - 5pm
