A portrait, by definition, should portray. It should go beyond showing just a view of a face; it should reveal the soul of a person. Anyone with a camera can take a “picture”, but it takes a special degree of sensitivity to create an image that stirs the emotion of the viewer.

This is the goal I have for everyone who is before my camera - to bring out the inner beauty and personality each of us has. It might mean showing the excitement of an expecting mother, the bond between a mother and child, or the love a woman feels for the special person in her life.

The key to the success of your portrait lies in spending time prior to and during the photography session talking about your needs, your desires, your fears and your objectives. Planning is the key and why a visit to the studio is so important! The more prepared you are for your session, the easier it will be for you to be relaxed, look better and receive from us a portrait you will be proud to own or give as a gift.

When I started my business, I aspired to produce the finest photography I was capable of, without compromise. I have never regretted that decision and neither have my clients. Quality does not go out of style. It costs less in the long run, and is always appreciated by those who know the difference. You see—a portrait you truly love is priceless....and one that is not your best is worthless!

Thank you for your confidence.
