                    Family portrait on the beach

Beach portraits are great whether you're a resident or visitor to our area. Wardrobe plays an important part. Take a look below for some links to our wardrobe and apparel pages then give us a call to fine tune it. See, we know the places to go with your pets WITHOUT getting arrested...we even had a horse on the beach! Hopefully, you have seen our Composite Page. The print below shows a multigenerational composite from a beach session.

Beautiful Traditional Family Portrait A more modern twist on a business headshot

In-Studio Fine Portraiture....from the Classic (in the very traditional baroque frame) to a contemporary "hi-key" look in a trendy top. We love to do in-studio work (both Black & White or Color). The focus is really upon the subject(s) and not their surroundings. but that doesn't mean you can't have fun in the studio...look below.   

A contemporary treatment of a classic subject.
