You will feel comfortable and natural.
I have been creating these memories for families for over 20 years. Working with lots of wonderful people has provided me with great experience and practice in arranging groups so they look natural and comfortable. These arrangements look and feel natural because they are natural, not really posed. When my clients are comfortable and relaxed it's easy for them to look natural and the great expressions just follow, naturally.

You will look terrific.

 I am a student of classic family portraits. I study under some of the top photographers in the world. They have taught me that to produce the work my clients deserve, there can be no compromises. That is why I bring lights, even in the daytime. That is why I use big, heavy cameras. That is why I bring stools or blankets. That is why I have back-ups for everything. That is why I bring bug spray. That is why I bring garbage bags. (You will have to guess what those are for.) If you are uncomfortable you will not have great expressions. If there are shadows on your face your eyes will not show. If you are swatting bugs….well who wants a portrait of that? Call me today at (970) 349-5038 to find out about the garbage bags.

You will enjoy your portrait forever.

When I create an image of your family it will be guaranteed. Period. You will love the portrait. It will be beautifully printed and will last forever. I want you to enjoy this memory we have created for a lifetime. I am so confident that we will create wonderful images that if, for any reason, you are not thrilled with our results, I will return all of your money. No hard feelings, no questions, no problem. I guarantee it! If you're still not convinced click here.

Thank you for the care and professionalism you exhibited in our recent family portrait session in Crested Butte. I received my canvas portrait and 5x7s in perfect condition. I absolutely love it!

Don't put it off!
Close your eyes and imagine a beautiful summer evening. Imagine golden light filtering through the aspens, a soft warm breeze, sunlight bouncing off the soaring mountain peaks above.

Filled with tranquility. Surrounded by people who love you. Comfortable in this serene setting. Wouldn't it be great to save this moment, to keep it fresh forever?

Do it Now...it's later than you think!

Your clothing will be color coordinated and appropriate.

One critical factor in making an image you will want on your wall is planning. I meet with my clients to help them select a clothing style and colors that are flattering, appropriate and that do not clash with the other subjects. This is not necessarily a uniform approach. But it is planned. I will also spend hours searching for the perfect location for your images. Many times this involves coming back to the same place several times to scout the perfect light and atmosphere. No other photographers in the Crested Butte area take the time to do this. No other photographers in the area specialize in family portraits. That is what makes me different. That is what makes your portraits perfect. To read about clothing suggestions follow this link. For FREE information on creating a timeless portrait click here.

You will be thrilled with the results.

 It is my goal to create a memory that you are so proud of that you will want everyone you know to see it. You will want this memory over your fireplace or sofa. You will want this memory in your office, entry way or vacation home. You will want to carry it with you when you travel. You will want to send it to all of your friends. You can find more information about sizes, finishes and enhancement services here.
One of my objectives with every client is to create an image that I would want to use as a studio sample or in my advertising. This objective keeps me fresh and creative. It keeps me working hard for you. It makes me a little paranoid but it provides you with my best work. Anyway, that's my guarantee. You will be thrilled with the results or I'll return all of your money. Period. No hassle. No questions. No problem. To find out more about using portraits as home decor please give me a call at (970) 349-5038 or click here.

You will have my undivided attention.

Since I generally photograph only two families each week I will be rested and prepared for your portrait. I won't be tired from a previous session and I won't be in a hurry to get to my next client. Because my availability is extremely limited, it is important that we begin discussing your portrait immediately. Email me today for more information and availability. Again, there's no cost or obligation. Let's just chat about the possibilities. To find out more about my portrait philosophy follow this link.
