Capture the spirit of someone special in a portrait to treasure!  A Classic Portrait begins with a first meeting in your home so that I can meet the subject and can select the clothing and setting to show them at their best. We’ll also take some test shots decide on a pose.  Then on the day of the photo shoot, my photographer will work his magic.

Next, you’ll select your favorite photo from among the many we’ll shoot.  From that I’ll create a small oil sketch of the painting for your approval, so there’s no surprises with the final painting.

A Classic Portrait takes about three months to complete. 

Additional subjects can be added for $500.  Pets can also be added, pricing depends on the size.
