Our Intimate Portraiture & Maternity section is new to our website, although we have been photographing both styles for all of our 35 years! On one of Mr. Sweetman's teaching trips to Sweden, he lectured in contemporary "boudoir" photography. From sensitive to sensual, we can create the magical image of your dreams. We often create "themes" to reflect the portrait recipient's hobbies.  Maternity portraits can be with your husband (and siblings). Often we have dramatically lighted black and white studies where the profile of the mom's belly is emphasized. These are done in varying degrees of "undress" from soft dressing gowns to nude. We have many more examples in the studio. They are just not on the "world wide web!"  At the bottom of this page is a wonderful example of a maternity composite. We infused snapshots from their engagement into the core portrait (where she is pregnant) and then the birth announcement card (which of course we photographed).

Our camera room can easily accommodate a motorcycle...in fact we once had a fuel dragster with the subject being the "mechanic" wearing nothing but grease!

A beautiful study...classic. This is actually color!

This "artsy" study graces their living room as a 24x30 wall portrait!

During our design session, we find out what your vision of the portrait is, and move toward that end. Many times, a husband's hobbies such as skiing, hunting, or even woodworking have made their way into the final portrait. We have a complete album on Intimate Portraiture in the Studio. 

DId you notice the lines of the motorcycle?

For him, it's like unwrapping a Christmas package! Anniversaries, Valentine's Day, his birthday, or just because you love him....

We did this wonderful composite in 24x30 showing many of their personal photos as well...artfully infused. The "core portrait" was done a few weeks before delivery of the cute package lower left...and of course we did the birth announcement cards!. And speaking of announcement cards...see below for some of our custom looks! And we have really quick delivery...usually within 3 days.

Maternity Special! If we photograph a Maternity Portrait (usually in months 7-8) we will give you a FREE baby portrait session up to one month after birth.

The above portrait was also incorporated into a wonder B&W composite...similar to the one below.

..and be sure to see our Children.
