Thank you for your interest in our portraiture. We are passionate about the art of portraiture. It is our desire as your portrait artists to create for you, personal works of art, which will bless your life for years to come, reflecting the pride you have in your family. To be your family's photographer is an honor and the opportunity to work with you, a privilege. We encourage you to call at your earliest convenience so that we may speak with you personally. If by chance we miss your call, please leave your number and the best time to return your call. The studio phone numbers are 302-539-0102 and 800-932-2153.

To help answer some of your questions
We invite you to the studio before your session for your child portrait, family portrait, pet portrait, or the other special portraits we offer. We will discuss location, clothing, and style of portrait. This planning is time well invested to assure a successful portrait experience.

We feel it is best to reserve a day close to the beginning of your stay here at the shore. This should allow for back-up days, should weather become an issue. Because we do get booked quite heavily in the summer months, it may be wise to reserve your portrait session well in advance. Unfortunately, we cannot reserve a day without paid reservation.

For your convenience, you will be able to see the portraits we have made the next morning at 10am. Try to imagine where in your home you wish to display your portraits. It's a good idea to measure the walls you wish to use in your home. Sizes range from wallets to 70".

Studio office hours are by appointment only
9am - 4pm Mon-Fri. Please call 302-539-0102 to arrange a time to meet.
