Is there a difference between a photograph and a portrait?

We believe there is. A portrait can be a photograph, but a photograph isn’t always a portrait.

A portrait conveys a likeness or representation of someone through a photograph or other artistic medium. A photograph can be an image of anything.

 

Portraiture is a refined skill that takes years to master.

Individual Portrait Sittings

When photographing an individual our goal is to create a portrait that tells a story of who they are, captures their personality and true self. We use a variety of techniques to capture their authentic likeness and expression. When you look at a portrait you should be drawn to the subjects face and feel the emotion that is depicted in the image. A portrait is meant to pull you into a moment in time, not just capture it. Becoming a Portrait Artist takes years of practice learning the proper lighting techniques and how to coach your subject to portray their best self.

Family Portrait Sittings

When we photograph a family our goal is to create a portrait that shows their relationships with one another, the love they share, and solidifies a moment in time in that family's story. Family portraits are a legacy that is left behind for future generations.

 

You may not be around to see your great-grandchildren, but they will see you.

More Than Just A Photograph

We work with you from start to finish to create a portrait to hang in your home for years to come. This is why we don’t photograph you, give you a CD, and send you on your way.

It’s more than just a photo. It’s a memory frozen in time to last forever.

We understand that we are not the photographer for everyone. However, the time and effort put into your portrait sitting will always be worth it. Once you see your portrait hanging in your home, the only thing you'll say is 'I wish I had done this sooner'.

You’ve never had a portrait experience like this before.
