Photos fade..memories disappear...art lasts forever.
My intention as an artist is to capture the spirit and essence of your loved ones in a portrait that will be treasured for years to come.
Although not required, I prefer to meet the subject and take my own reference photos, but if this is not possible, I need one or more clear, close up, high resolution images that most clearly represent the subject's unique qualities and facial expression. For portraits of more than one subject, I will combine each individual photo into the finished portrait, so a group shot is not necessary.
Below are samples of good reference photos:
In keeping with standard professional portrait practices, a non-refundable retainer of 50% is required, with the completion due upon acceptance of the finished piece. The basic fees for an 11" x 14" portrait are below, but are contingent upon several factors, such as complexity of background, size and number of subjects, and so on. Framing, if requested, sales tax, if applicable, and shipping charges, are additional.
