“The only regret is not having a family portrait.”
I hear this too often. Your family memories are the most treasured.
Isn’t your family the reason you get up in the morning and work hard during
the day? How many of us have a portrait of the boss on our wall at home?

We are saying to our children:
“We love you and value you, and you are important in our home.”
Your family is your life. Why not give them a priceless gift? My sessions are relaxed and easy going. My style often depends on what the nature of your session is all about. Young families may be more relaxed than multi-generation portraits. Pets are family too and are always welcome!
“My promise to you: Love your family portraits.
They must meet or exceed your expectations, or you don’t pay”

“Good evening, You certainly are making it difficult for me to choose
some pics of Delaynie. This is phenomenal. I can’t believe how excited I am
everytime I watch what you put together for us. It’s wonderful. I get shivers
whenI view the Cd you made. Absolutely breathtaking. I must tell you, I’m
very meticulous, and structured individual. Very rarely do I get surprised.
But to my amazement, I’m thrilled to say, that your work has brought that
unique smile and feeling back to me. I actually thought it left me, and had
only surfaced in me as a young child. You know when you are counting down
the days for Christmas, or that summer vacation? That feeling.
Well Rob and Tina, you have left me speechless. We love
each and every photograph. Although you say this is only a rough draft and
some areas need to be touched up,. NO way!! they are amazing as is…(Rob,
are you a perfectionist by chance?) I simply can’t wait for the finale.
For those I show off your work to, they are completely
amazed as I make them sit and enjoy the show you have put forth of our Delaynie.
The music you have chosen as well makes it so worth the watch. You have made
such a wonderful keepsake not only for us, our family, and our daughter. I
am so proud I cannot wait for my clients to enter into my office and see this
art form you have created. I will be your biggest advocate (although the work
speaks for itself… you don’t need me…haha…) Thank you for making this
such an enchanted experience. You both are a pleasure to work with. Don and
I cannot thank you enough…Jennifer Bissonette.”
How do you choose the best image from your session?
“Hi, I wanted to let you know that our Christmas
portrait was a huge hit with our children and we got rave reviews from our
friends and relatives who received our Christma card. Thank you so much for
a very professional photo that I think our family will treasure for years
to come….Judy and Lionel Courtemanche”
Here’s a couple tips on choosing the absolute best images from your portrait session. First off, consider what you are going to do with the images. Are they as gifts?
An image for grandparents may not be the same pose that you and your family feel is the best pose that expresses who you are. (We don’t always see eye-to-eye on all matters)
Where is the image going in your home? A favorite place is on the living room wall, over the sofa, as a decorative art piece. Is it going in the family room? Have a look in your home and give this some thought.
By far the absolute BEST way to choose your favorite pose is when you initially go through the images after the session is over. When you are looking at the images and you have a ‘gut’ reaction to one or more poses and expressions, and you instantly like it, well, that’s your heart talking. Trust your instinct more than anything.
We tend to get analytical with images, trying too hard to narrow it down to the ‘perfect’ one. There is no such thing as perfection. When you choose an image from the heart, years, many years from now you will still love that image.
A mistake we often make is to listen to other people. People we love and trust. Opinions from well-meaning friends or relatives. They tend to analyze the images in a worst way. Only you know where your heart lies. Follow it! And just nod your head and smile when they give you too much advice.
