A family portrait tells a story of who you are, how you live, and who you love. Most of us enjoy having a family portrait in the office, our wallet and now on our smart phones to remind us of the value in our family.

Your family portrait can be formal, informal, candid, serious or silly. It’s really up to you in choosing which emotion you’d like to portray.

We can create your family portrait in your home, yard, nearby park or favorite destination. Let’s talk about the possibilities and find out which one is best for you.

To create harmony in the portrait you should consider how to blend the colors of the clothing you choose. Popular color themes are earth tones, white or black.

Long sleeves will keep the attention on the faces, while short sleeves convey warm weather.
