The Consultation: The first meeting with a client is to discuss the size, location of where the painting will hang and to get to know my subject. Based upon our collaboration of the pose, lighting, clothing, and background that expresses the character of my subject, and interior location, A photo shoot will be scheduled.

The Photo Shoot: Approximately one hour is required to photograph the subject in various poses, background, and lighting combinations. The sittings can take place in my studio or at the subject’s home, office, or outdoor location.

In the Studio: Upon the client’s approval of photographic references, the portrait will begin. During the work in progress, I encourage the subject to sit for me if they are able as that creates a life like human portrayal of their character. This is optional and based on the time frame of the client. If a subject cannot do a sitting, I may ask to meet with them again for some additional photos if necessary to capture the unique individual character.

The Final Portrait: The client will receive a digital image of the completed painting for approval. Any small changes that need to be made for your approval are done at this time. Upon approval, the painting will be shipped to your home. Upon completion and approval of the painting, the balance is due. *Prices do not include travel expenses, framing, tax, or shipping. This is the responsibility of the client.

Pricing: Prices vary by size, complexity, subject etc. The prices shown are for a single subject with a simple background. Complex backgrounds and multiple subjects impact the price. I will work with the client’s budget and produce the best portrait possible for them. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to start the portrait. Upon completion and approval of the client, the balance is due.
