Words From The Heart

"It was wonderful working with Rick and Sharon.

We got a grouping of gorgeous portraits that we will always treasure. In the beautiful setting of Plum Island at sunset, they brought out the best in us and helped us have fun as a family. I'm really happy with the way that our portraits came out." – Natalie T.

 "The more fun we had the better our portraits got.

On the last day of December Richard and Sharon met us at the beach to photograph our family. It was all great fun. The images were exactly what we wanted. But picking out our favorite images was not easy." – Alison H.

"Your images are amazing and bright...

They get compliments from lots of friends who visit our home. The images are exactly what we were looking for, lots of movement, action. You captured moments of Makenzi being free and her personality perfectly. We will never lose that perfect day, it was not your school picture sort of thing. Playing with the apples and running across the yard, it was all about the experience we had. Makenzi still talks about it now." – Kim L.

Common Concerns You May Share

I'm always nervous about being photographed.

“You made this chapter in our life memorable with such great care and interest. Your professionalism and patience helped us to relax and enjoy every minute. I rate the session 5 stars! We really can not thank you enough… These are amazing photos… we will cherish these pictures forever.” – Deb H.  

What will this cost?

We specialize in creating engaging portraits meant to be enjoyed for a very long time. Heirloom quality artwork is the combination of good planning, detailed preparation and thoughtful presentation and framing. The process often requires a month or two to complete. While your choices may vary, most people expect to invest $1500 to $5500, sometimes more, sometimes less, in wall displays and gift items which includes framing and installation.

The portraits you dream of begin with our first visit.

Yes! We Have To Do This.

Portraits are the only place your family will always be together.

Why family portraits are so important for your children.

"The simple act of having your families’ photographs hung in your house increases your children's self-esteem. Studies show that having your family photographed and having your portraits displayed prominently in your home sends the message that your family is important to one another... and that you honor the memories you create together."

– David Krauss, a licensed psychologist from Cleveland, Ohio
