Is there a difference between a photograph and a portrait?
We believe there is. A portrait can be a photograph, but a photograph isn’t always a portrait.
A portrait conveys a likeness or representation of someone through a photograph or other artistic medium. A photograph can be an image of anything.
Portraiture is a refined skill that takes years to master.
Individual Portrait Sittings
When photographing an individual our goal is to create a portrait that tells a story of who they are, captures their personality and true self. We use a variety of techniques to capture their authentic likeness and expression. When you look at a portrait you should be drawn to the subjects face and feel the emotion that is depicted in the image. A portrait is meant to pull you into a moment in time, not just capture it. Becoming a Portrait Artist takes years of practice learning the proper lighting techniques and how to coach your subject to portray their best self.
Family Portrait Sittings
When we photograph a family our goal is to create a portrait that shows their relationships with one another, the love they share, and solidifies a moment in time in that family's story. Family portraits are a legacy that is left behind for future generations.
You may not be around to see your great-grandchildren, but they will see you.
More Than Just A Photograph
