You may ask "Why have a Portrait Design Session?"
Here's what clients have said:

"There's no argument that you are an excellent photographer, Charles, but as odd as it may sound it won't be your photographs that will linger in my memory for years to come.
Our family photographic session was by far more fun and enjoyable than the remarkable photos you captured. God has given Beth and I six of the greatest kids you could imagine. We love being together and truly enjoy each other's company.
You provided us twice the memories and for that we are grateful."

"The series of portraits that Charles created of our family are absolutely stunning! I almost cried when I first saw them.."

My Portrait Creation Process:
1) Portrait Consultation Session
· We will meet at my studio on Macadam.
· We'll plan your portrait together.
· I'll answer all of your questions.

· I'll ask a bunch of questions as well, to understand exactly what you have in mind.
. Nothing hidden. No surprises. We work together openly.
2) Photographic Portrait Session
· I photograph you just as we had planned, creating the images that you helped design.
3) View-to-Order Session
· We review the best images from your Portrait Session.
· The studio has a home theater so we'll see everything full size so you can see clearly what each portrait looks like..
· You'll choose your favorite plus anything else that we had previously designed together.
4) Portrait Unveiling
· Your portrait is unveiled, ready for installation in your home.
I look forward to working with you to create portraits that reflect your love of your family, and that will become heirlooms for generations to come!
