About our Portrait & Event Photography
WE OFFER CUSTOM PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY
We take a unique, artistic and completely individualized approach to our photography while keeping our sessions fun and relaxed.
Our custom photography provides personalized on-location portrait sessions, combining natural settings with professional lighting while also using a combined style of Conceptual, Lifestyle and Posed Portraiture, in order to bring out your personality in the images.
We make it personal by customizing your session just for you. We get the inspiration from your answers to a few questions we ask while we get to know you. Sometimes we are inspired by the music and movies you love, other times it is a location or activities that hold special meaning to you or your family. It even helps us with the amazing artistic touches in the post processing.
THE PROCESS
As artists, we love to be inspired. We like to consult with you through email, phone or in person, prior to your photo session to get to know you and start the artistic process. That's when we set out to personalize your session to reflect who you are, with a short list of questions. This helps when it comes to deciding on clothing, props, and unique location choices.
We have many locations where we like to shoot, but we are also always looking for something different that no one else has that tells your story. Your answers to a few of our questions regarding what you like, and what do you enjoy doing, often will help to inspire us in discovering the perfect setting for your session.
PLAN AHEAD
Do you have questions or would like to include something special?
Just let us know...
~ Bring any props. (Instruments, car, child's favorite toy, etc.)
~ Include your pets in your session at no extra charge! (After all, they are a part of who you are, right?)
~ Change outfits as often as you want! Bring extra! However, solids make for better portraits.
Choose items with good color, texture (ie, knits, ruffles, denim) and accessories.
For families, groups & couples: Wear similar colors or contrasting ones. Think coordinating not matching. Most importantly, be comfortable and be yourself.
We take our time to ensure that we capture you at your absolute best. We will never rush you.
Whether that means allowing time for you to relax and feel comfortable, for babies to eat or a child to be a willing participant. We want this to be a fun experience for everyone.
PERFECT PORTRAITS
ARE NO ACCIDENT
Many photographers use only "natural lighting". However, our knowledge and ability to include great professional lighting raises our portraits to a whole different level.
We also use our creative planning and graphic design skills to add an artistic touch to every image we produce. As portrait artists, the images are just that... art. The creative touches that we add before and after your session, are on an individual basis depending on the session style and your own unique personality that comes out in your portraits.We call "Personalized Conceptual Photography" and it's what makes us different from the rest.
VIEWING YOUR PHOTOS ~ ONLINE GALLERY
The photos from your session are usually edited and posted in your own Online "Proofs" Gallery within 4 weeks following your session. We will then send you an email with the direct link to your gallery, or get together for a Viewing and Ordering Appointment. From there your Gallery will be open for *4 weeks* so that you may view your photos and place orders either online, or through us directly. {Portrait Session galleries with a minimum of just $150 in Print or CD orders or will stay open.}
Your gallery may also be password protected, upon request.
A Proof Book may also be created for you upon request, for an additional small fee.

We send our images to one of the best professional print labs in the nation. Since we put so much work into every image, we want your prints to be their best as well.
