Family Portraits

Why should I have my portrait taken or my family portrait taken?

Oh there are so many reasons. Because….

  1. YOU DESERVE IT! I’m guessing you do a heck of a lot for everyone else. Take some time out to be pampered and then have me capture you looking fantastic!

  2. YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS and CHILDREN WANT YOU TO EXIST IN PHOTOS though they might not know it now. One day, your gorgeous photos will become priceless treasures to them. Don’t hide from the camera or be behind it!

  3. TIME FLIES REALLY F#$&%! FAST! Literally, you are not getting any younger. Do it now before another year has past by. Families are never the same; they’re always growing and changing. This is one of the reasons why I truly love being a photographer. With many of my clients, I get the privilege of seeing them grow as a family by taking their portraits every year. Don’t take your family’s current stage for granted, as it only takes a few months for your family to change and grow.

  4. THAT CELL PHONE DUCK-FACE SELFIE IS GREAT BUT may not be the way your loved ones ultimately want to remember you. Seriously.

  5. HEARING “DAMN, GRANDMA/GRANDPA YOU WERE A FOX” will make you smile really big one day.

  6. PHOTOS MAKE GREAT DECOR. Give your house or office a pick me up by displaying your family portrait. I want you to smile every time you see your photo or your families photo. Digital is great for Facebook but how many photos do you have on a hard drive or flash drive that never see the light of day? I offer professional high-quality prints which are matted ready to frame, which will surely give life to the walls of your home or office for the years to come.

  7. PORTRAITS ARE A VALUABLE INVESTMENT. Let’s be honest, professional services will always cost more than amateur. There is a reason for that. You get what you pay for. When you invest in quality portraiture you are investing in something that will be valuable for a lifetime. It has value the second you create it and it will become more valuable every single year guaranteed. Most of us spend so much on things with little or no value but fail to invest in the things that mean the most. Seriously, in an emergency what would you choose to save, your family portrait or your television?

    So don’t make the mistake of thinking family portraits aren’t worth spending money on. You won’t make a better investment than one that will serve as a lasting keepsake the entire family can treasure forever, a lot of my families tell me that their family portraits are one of their most treasured possessions. I know my personal family portraits are. Make the time and you will never regret it.

A PORTRAIT SESSION IS FOR YOU EVEN IF YOUR HEAD IS SCREAMING EXCUSE AFTER EXCUSE like….

"I'M NOT PHOTOGENIC"

Guess what - It’s MY job to make you look amazing in photographs.

"I DON'T LIKE HAVING MY PHOTO TAKEN"

I promise to make the shoot not just comfortable but fun for you.

"I NEED TO LOSE A FEW MORE POUNDS"

I will pose you & light you so you look jaw-droppingly hot, just as you are RIGHT NOW.

"I'M TOO OLD"

Ummmm, really? We are like a fine wine and get better with age. I promise to show you your grace, and allure through these photos.

"I'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE"

I promise that 96.995% (yes I’ve done the scientific math) of my clients were nervous first timers just like you, yet left the experience overjoyed.

"I REALLY LIKE DIGITAL IMAGES"

Want to share your photos on Facebook and make everyone green with envy? Good! Any image you purchase in print you also receive in digital format.

"I'M ON A TIGHT DEADLINE"

I have been able to get photos done and in hand with very little notice. So reach out and let’s see what I can do for you!

"I CAN'T AFFORD IT"

I work with clients with all budgets, I take credit cards, and I do offer payment plans. In reality - you can’t afford not to. Photographs are something that only grow more valuable with time and with changes that can happen so fast.
