Every portrait that we create is a special commission made specifically with our client's family and home in mind. We design our artwork to reflect family connections, personalities, style, and to enhance the home in which it will hang. A lot of thought and careful planning goes into each portrait session and it all starts with creating the concept.

Report
Many of our clients are coming to us because they want to have a portrait created on canvas to hang in a prominent area of their home. These become the focal point of the room and help tie the entire decor together. Our canvases are not the same as the commercially available ink jet wrapped canvases that you may see from time to time.

Where we choose to capture your family portrait will depend on the look and feel we are aiming to capture based on your family's style, taste, and the decor of your home. Some clients are drawn to a formal aesthetic and wish to have their portraits created in an atmosphere that has classic architecture with arches and columns and dress in more formal attire.
Families at Home
Report
Sometimes we don't have to look any farther than our client's own backyard (or front porch) to find the perfect spot for a family portrait session. A Hearth and Home Session is also a wonderful time to include the grandparents in your portrait session. Or if you are the grandparent, it's a wonderful time to invite your adult children and their families over for a portrait!
Pets
Report
As huge animal lovers ourselves, we definitely understand the bond between a human and their fury four legged friend. We absolutely love (and encourage) our clients to include their pets in their portrait session. But sometimes those special companions need a session of their own. We are thrilled to capture beautiful images of your pets on location or in your own home-anywhere they feel most comfortable!
