Frenchie Love
When two beautiful ladies come into my studio, the portraits are amazing. Of course, one is a French Bulldog and if you do not think this dog is adorable, check your pulse because you’re dead, m’kay. Nothing says “love me, love my dog” more than a sort of “Mommy and Me” portrait session!
Portrait Session: Mack
Here is what I know from my experience as a mother: little boys cannot sit still. And here is also what I know from my experience as a photographer: you don’t want them to. Let me have their moments, let them have their goofs, because it makes them happy and a happy child in a portrait is a wondrous image.
Bennett: Fine Art Portrait
Here are some images from Bennett’s portait session in studio, phootgraphed and edited as a fine art portrait in a vintage style. I prefer simplicity in portraits and to allow the subject to really be seen. I think that is important with children because who they are now quickly changes as they mature.
Mother and Child Portrait Study: Courtney and Ruby
Courtney started with maternity portraits and now here is the finished product - she and her beautiful daughter, Ruby! People want to see pictures of themselves with their parents so they can study them for clues about themselves. A well-done portrait is that gift to them - and even their children!
Claire: Senior in Studio
Congratulations to Claire, a recent graduate of Knoxville Catholic High School. This lovely senior came into the studio and we made some stunning portraits in a classic style of her classic beauty.
Celebrate Your Child's Talent
Scout is a girl willing to take on learning to play the violin - and that’s no small feat! Her accomplishment is celebrated through a portrait. What a way to tell your child “You make us proud” and “Well done!”
