GUARANTEE!
Your satisfaction is my priority and your guarantee!

best!
I hope that the information below
will answer all your questions. If not, please call me personally and I
will be happy to assist you further.
 About the Portrait
Session
Your portrait session will last approximately 1½ hours. The portrait
creative fee at my country studio is $95, with on-location sessions
starting at $150. You are welcome to bring multiple people and animals, at
no additional charge. A variety of poses will be made; the entire group,
sub groups, individuals, indoors, outdoors, whatever you would like, this
is your portrait session! Appointment times are available from 8:00 AM to
the last starting time at 5:30 PM Monday through Friday. In order to serve
my clients best I limit the number of photo sessions to only 2 or 3
sessions on any day, I value quality over volume!
What happens next?
You
will return to the studio in a few days to see a slide presentation of the
images that were created. The images are projected in the sizes you are
interested in from a small gift size to wall portraits. Together, we
will review the images, choose the best ones and design your portrait
order. I will answer all your questions, show you the various options, and
help you choose which images will be best suited for the purposes that you
want. The presentation is when you place your order; no images go home
with you, so please invite everyone that wants to be involved in ordering
to come at that time.
The presentation and ordering usually takes 1½ to 2 hours and is included
in the creative fee.
What types of products do you offer?
Everyone
wants a beautiful piece of art for home or office, such as a wall portrait
in your choice of smooth surface or real artist
canvas. I have selected a variety of frames that compliment my artistic
style and will frame your wall portraits or you can do your own framing.
Wall
groupings containing several wall portraits and storyboards are very
popular. Gift boxed folios are always a hit with family members during the
holidays. They also make a great way to display your portraits on your
desk or to take with you when traveling.
Another
very popular item is a family heritage album or baby’s first year album.
Gift certificates make great birthday, holiday, baby or shower gifts.
What type of payments do you accept?
I
accept cash, check, Visa and MasterCard.
The creative session fee is due at the time of the portrait session.
At the conclusion of the image presentation 50% of the portrait order is
requested to put your order in production.
The remaining balance is due upon completion of the order in approximately
3 to 6 weeks.
 What
should I wear?
The images that we
create today will last a lifetime, so the clothing you choose to wear is a
very important factor.
In order to create a timeless look, I suggest a classic look, using solid
colors. Please avoid busy patterns, bold stripes, large graphics, wording,
or hot/bright colors. The emphasis should be on beautiful faces and great
expressions.
 Try
on the clothing you choose to wear and check the fit. Is the
 clothing
to tight, to big, do under garments show through,
do they need to be ironed?
Coordinated
clothing of similar colors gives a group a united look, a
variety of
colors will be distracting.
Consider these combinations:
White tops with blue jeans, tan
or khaki pants or skirts.
Black tops with blue jeans, tan
or khaki pants or skirts.
All black or all white clothing
If
you have a black animal please don’t wear black.
For
outdoor portraits with the family, get your dog a new collar that will
blend
in with their fur color or
coordinate with the family’s color choices. Use a
collar that does not have tags.
When is the best time to
schedule an appointment?
RIGHT NOW!
OUTDOOR PORTRAITS
It
is best to schedule outdoor portraits when the leaves have come back on
the trees and the weather is somewhat predictable. May and June are great
times, the grass is green, and the wildflowers are in bloom. Early
morning, late afternoon, or early evening are the best times for outdoor
light. August and September appointment times fill up fast!
So don’t wait too late in to the fall season to book your session.
PUPPIES and KITTENS
Litters
of puppies and kittens are best photographed between 7 and 8 weeks. Call
me as soon as they are born so you will be sure to get an appointment time
before they go to their new homes.
Have your puppy or kitten’s baby portrait made now and you will receive a
certificate to come back for a complimentary portrait session for their
grown up portrait between 1 and 2 years of age!
 IS YOUR CAT OR
DOG 7 YEARS OLD OR OLDER?
Our
beloved animal companions are not with us as long as we would like, take
the time now to have their portrait made. Ask about the Senior Pet
discount if your cat or dog is 7 or older.
CHILDREN
Summer
is a great time so we don’t have to work around busy school schedules.
Children under 3 usually do better at morning appointments. Babies first
year is best documented at newborn, 6-7 months and one year.
HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS
The
summer between junior and senior year is the most popular time, it is best
to schedule before school starts in the fall. Seniors are welcome to bring
along cars, musical instruments, sports or dance equipment, etc. to
include in their photo session.
Where are you located?
The
studio is located just a few minutes off of Interstate 5 at Exit #286/
North Wilsonville. After scheduling your appointment time directions to
the studio will be mailed to you. The studio is open only by appointment.
The studio is located at my farm and there are many interesting things to
chase here; donkeys, horses, deer, and a cat. For your pet’s safety and to
keep them from getting dirty, a romp through the “meadow muffins” in the
pasture will ruin that freshly groomed look! Please keep dogs on a leash
at all times, and bring cats in a carrier. Thank you for your cooperation.
