My approach is very different from most portrait artists, and I love the difference it brings to the work itself. My time is devoted to creating an unhurried, easy atmosphere. There is absolutely no rush, and no pressure to "perform." I love working this way, and love the easy, natural feel it allows us to capture.
 
 
The studio itself is wonderful for this approach. The studio is window-lit, nestled in woodlands. The light is soft, tranquil, and perfect for portraits. There are beautiful spots in the surrounding grounds, as well as other picturesque locations near-by.
 
 
The day we get together for your photo session, you'll be invited into a truly welcoming environment, where we'll capture it all for you. Soon after your session, you'll be presented with a generous collection of images to choose from. Once your choices are made, I'll start to work creating your finished portraits.
 
 
Your portraits are created with meticulous care. Fine-art prints are developed with the time-honored tradition of light and chemistry, printed to the highest archival standards. Oiled canvases and commissioned paintings are given the utmost care, using the finest museum quality materials available. Your satisfaction is absolutely and completely assured, in every step of the way. I'm so happy to help!
