We can also come out to your home, or where ever
you would like the portrait created. In fact, it
really is preferred if pets are included in the
portrait. We can discuss with you the various locations
and backgrounds. There are many beautiful parks or
scenic locations that also helps everyone, including pets,
to feel at ease in familiar surroundings.
We help you look your best! We always meet with
you prior to the photography session to help you with clothing,
makeup, hair, and the many other details which go into the
planning and creation of a fine portrait. There are so many
pictures around now but very few that really have
your best side showing. We can find that for you!
None of us likes to feel hurried or rushed, especially when it involves having a timeless portrait of ourselves taken. There are four unique factors which separate our photography from the other photographers in the area:
Today I’d like to mention the FIRST, and most important factor. It is our desire to capture a persons true essence in an image which beautifully expresses their love for one another. We specialize in fine digital portraiture and truly love what we do! I was talking to a man today that told me he could see that I was passionate about photography.
Have you ever heard of Chroma key? Most people probably have never heard of those words. Professional Video and Television have been using Chroma key for a long time. Just think about the weather man and the map on television. That is a function of Chroma key. Photography and Videography are getting much closer through the use of new software and camera that can do both., We have been using the concept for 2 years. It is amazing how flexible Chroma key backgrounds can be. In this computer age with digital imaging available to everyone, it is great to have Chroma key to set yourself apart from the amateur.
It is especially useful for someone that wants their image to match other graphics designs that their image will be used with.
If this is of interest to you, please contact us and we will be glad to explain in detail how we can provide you with a truly unique portrait.
It’s really hard to imagine such a cold winter here in beautiful Orlando, Florida, but we like the rest of the nation have had a very long winter. I’m ready to get out in my backyard and get ready for outdoor family portraits. The orange trees have oranges on them and make it very inviting to pluck them and eat them.
When was the last time that you had a family portrait taken? We took ours at Thanksgiving time last year and it had been 5 years since we were all together. It was so meaningful to have all of us in a portrait.
I hear stories all the time about people that planned to have a family portrait taken but then one of them becomes ill and never is able to have it done before they slip away. One of my regrets is that even I a photographer never had a portrait taken with my parents after I was an adult. I received a great testimonial from a great couple that had their family portrait taken in my backyard. I’m planning on putting it on the LETTER page but it is lengthy and I to share the entire testimonial here and shorten it for the letter page.

We had our photos taken for business headshots, however, at the last minute
decided to have additional photos with our two dogs Little Lady and Kelsey.
LaVerne was very accommodating with our dogs in his house as well as in his
beautiful backyard. LaVerne was enjoyable to work with and brought out the
best smiles in all of us. We were so happy we decided to have our dogs
included because two months later Little Lady who was 17 years old passed
away. We feel blessed to have the beautiful 8×10 of us and our dogs which
brings joy to our hearts everyday. We were amazed how quickly LaVerne was
able to snap the photos - we were done with dog photos within 5 minutes in
his gorgeous backyard. Thanks LaVerne - we tell everybody about your
wonderful photography skills!
Don’t wait to long
