Why are Family Portraits the Most Treasured possessions to You and Me?...

Isn't your family the reason you get up in the morning and work hard during the day? How many of us have a portrait of the boss on our wall at home?

We are saying to our children:
"We love you and value you, and you are important in our home."

Your family is your life. Why not give them a priceless gift? My sessions are relaxed and easy going. My style often depends on what the nature of your session is all about. Young families may be more relaxed than multi-generation portraits. Pets are family too and are always welcome!

"My promise to you: Love your family portraits.
They must meet or exceed your expectations, or you don't pay"

How do you choose the best image from your session?


Here's a couple tips on choosing the absolute best images from your portrait session. First off, consider what you are going to do with the images. Are they as gifts?

An image for grandparents may not be the same pose that you and your family feel is the best pose that expresses who you are. (We don't always see eye-to-eye on all matters)

Where is the image going in your home? A favorite place is on the living room wall, over the sofa, as a decorative art piece. Is it going in the family room? Have a look in your home and give this some thought.

By far the absolute BEST way to choose your favorite pose is when you initially go through the images after the session is over. When you are looking at the images and you have a 'gut' reaction to one or more poses and expressions, and you instantly like it, well, that's your heart talking. Trust your instinct more than anything.

We tend to get analytical with images, trying too hard to narrow it down to the 'perfect' one. There is no such thing as perfection. When you choose an image from the heart, years, many years from now you will still love that image.

A mistake we often make is to listen to other people. People we love and trust. Opinions from well-meaning friends or relatives. They tend to analyze the images in a worst way. Only you know where your heart lies. Follow it! And just nod your head and smile when they give you too much advice.
