Portraits of people

I create individual portraits, for the most part. But I understand your desire to catch everyone in the same moment in time. Two options. One: I can photograph your family at the same time, individually. Then you (or I) frame them as a series – and then hang them together. Two: We can give it a trial run and see what happens. Pricing changes when more people are present for a portrait sitting.


 

This is what I’d recommend: first, let me take the photos. Then we’ll decide when we see the images. Some raw images are clearly more suited to one style over another. Also – see if there are any examples in my portfolio you really don’t like. That will help too.


 

I specialize in highly edited, contemporary individual portraits. I generally shoot in studio or in my gardens. If you want to make a road trip, I can do that for an additional fee. Email me.



 

Yes I do Senior photos. I really like working with this age of subject since I have more experience with teenagers than you can shake a stick at. And if you want to order a ridiculous number of prints to include in graduation invitations or something, we can work on pricing.


 

Yes I do headshots. Email me for pricing.


Velveteen Rabbit Portraits

 

It is the central character in a kid's book. Buy it here in person if you live in the area.

or here online.


 

Basically the story is about stuffed animals that are used, worn, and treasured and how they become real through the love of a child.  I don't get a commission but if you invite me to a baby shower, you'll probably get a copy of the book from me. 


 

Check out the gallery. Maybe:

·      The shoes your kid wore as a toddler. You keep thinking you should throw them away, but every time you try, you toss them back in the box.
·      How about those shoes plus the shoes they’re wearing now? Yep, that works. Makes me tear up a bit. Drats.
·      Something that reminds you of a person you hold in esteem. A small box that always sat on her dressing table. His glasses. 
·      A toy, a sports item, a special lovey. The days go slow; the years fly.
·      Something symbolic about a person’s work, someone’s achievement, or a rite of passage.
·      Something symbolic about a person you love: a hobby, a passion, a dream. 
·      Or something you are passionate about or want to focus on. Let’s brainstorm and come up with something that you can display that will keep you focused.


 

I’ll brainstorm with you to come up with options. I’m pretty good at helping people figure out an appropriate subject. It will take 5 or 10 minutes, tops.


 

Well, I’d like to think you should buy one weekly, but you could commission one to help you:

Remember

·      Moments in childhood
·      A person important to you
·      A significant accomplishment
·      A goal you're working toward fufilling

Celebrate

·      Graduation
·      Retirement
·      Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah
·      First Holy Communion
·      Confirmation

And finally, any time you want to clean out your closets; create art instead clutter.

I can make any print available as a box of cards. Contact me and I’ll let you know the pricing.


 

Okay, first thing, calm down. You can get some other stuff. Let’s talk.

The couch might be a stretch though.


 

Sure. Let's talk.


 

I only work on photos I take. I find that part of the creative process begins in your portrait sitting.


 

Nope. This is it. Send me something more interesting and I'll add it.
