Fine Art Legacy Portraits: $650
These classic portraits are photographed indoors in your home, and they will preserve your image and personality for generations to come. They generally, though not always, picture you from the waist up, and are often photographed by soft, natural window light, though flash may also be used. You can be photographed against a portable fine art backdrop that I will provide, or with your home’s natural interior.
A portrait using a fine art backdrop is the most classic style of portrait there is! By eliminating all visual distractions, you become the entire focal point of the portrait: your face; expression; who you really are. Classic portraits are simple, timeless, and beautiful, and have been captivating people for centuries, from Rembrandt’s paintings to your own portrait today.
Portraits that use natural surroundings let people know a little more about who you are. For example, you could be curled up in your favorite chair reading a book, sitting at a table enjoying a hobby, glancing thoughtfully out a window, playing a piano, or however you would like to be pictured.
You can wear whatever you’d like for these portraits, from a vintage Victorian outfit to a pair of jeans. It’s all about how you see yourself, who you really are, and how you would like to be seen now and remembered in the future.
The session fee includes a $325 nonrefundable retainer. It is due when you book your session and it reserves my time and your session date exclusively for you. The balance of $325 is due the day before your portrait session.
The session fee includes:
• pre-session consultations via email and phone

Additional matted 8x12-inch fine art prints with the digital file are $150/each.
Fine Art Lifestyle Portraits: $1000
These portraits are photographed on location away from your home. They let people know a little more about who you are and what you are passionate about. You can be hiking in a forest, fishing in a stream, practicing ballet, bird watching, at an easel working on a painting, in an aircraft hangar, on your farm, or however you would like to be pictured. These portraits are photographed primarily by natural light, so if the location is outdoors, weather becomes a factor that may require your session to be rescheduled.
