HOME    "5 Secrets to a Great Family Portrait."    Family Portrait Plan

It has been a wonderful experience and pleasure to work with Larry for our family photo.  He put us at ease and even the very young children responded well to him.  All of us had a good time working with him.  We wouldn’t hesitate to use him for future photos.

    Ten reasons to pick me as your family photographer.  

1. I take the time to do it right. I am a low volume studio, so I can take as much time as is necessary to create the finest image possible. This is really important. I find that the more time I spend with the client before the session, planning it carefully, the better the photography is.

2. Every image I create is a custom created designer image. I do not create any of my family portraits in the studio. Everything is created at a location that has meaning to that specific client.

3. I specialize in family portraiture on location.

4. Because I specialize in families - I love creating them. I have a strong desire to create an image that my clients will love. Many photographers don't like doing families - they feel they are too much work.

5. I am especially good at helping each and every member of the family to look their very best in the portrait. Using posing, clothing, lighting, etc.

6. I am not the least expensive portrait photographer in the area. Because I charge a fair amount for my work, I am not rushed in any way. Most of the time, I devote an entire morning or an entire afternoon to working with one family portrait client. This means I can do more that one location, more than one clothing change, individual children, etc. at no extra charge.

7. It's really fun to work with me. I enjoy what I do. I take very good care of my family portrait clients - before and after the session. They really love the entire experience.

8. I always go and see the location to determine the perfect time of day to create the image. This is very important, as the lighting is vitally important in creating a family portrait or any portrait.

9. Because of my many years of experience with creating family portraits for the more demanding clientele, I am very well suited to finding the perfect setting for the portrait, no matter where the client decides they want the portrait. This is important, as in most of my family images, the setting and background usually account for about 80% of the total image.

10. I have a real knack for making everyone (no matter how large the group may be) feel really important and comfortable during the session. This results in excellent expressions from everyone.
