My specialty is an Impressionist style of photographic portraiture. Portraits that have the warmth and look similar to impressionist paintings. The original photos will be in a classical style of portraiture which can be given a total Impressionist treatment or left as they are -- you choose which finished style you prefer. Of course, if you are not satisfied with the Impressionist treatment, you don't have to pay for it. You don't even have to pay for the photo shoot if you don't like any of the photos. That's my guarantee.

I shoot on location where my subjects are comfortable, or in the beautiful ambience of nature. I use environmental settings with natural lighting and concentrate on getting relaxed candid photographs. I include whatever you want in the photograph, whether it is a family pet, or any other special object or background that is important to you. Of course, I will also shoot any classical posed photos you may desire.

I use state-of-the-art digital cameras so you can see the photos as they are taken. I will take as long as is necessary to get the kind of portrait you want. You will not be rushed through a studio sitting with limited time. I want to get to know you and your personality as I photograph. There is no limit to the quantity of photos taken or the time to take them. I will keep going until I get what you want. Your satisfaction is my goal.
