Fees noted above are for a non-detailed painted background. There is customarily an additional charge for props, pets, and background settings that feature landscape or architecture. All travel, framing and shipping expenses are in addition to the prices listed above. |

Since I have only recently started accepting commissions, and because I want to build my portfolio, I am offering a substantial discount from the usual fees expected for work of this quality. I will honor the introductory prices for my next 10 commissions. |

The portrait process begins with a discussion of the wishes of the client and includes topics like pose, clothing, background, portrait size, and whether the portrait will be formal or informal. With these factors determined, a price is agreed upon and the deposit accepted. A photo session is scheduled. Approximately 100 photos are taken and the session may take up to 2 hours. These photos are reviewed and those most promising are selected for further consideration with the client. If necessary, additional sessions will be scheduled. Another meeting is scheduled to select the final pose for the portrait, which may be a composite of several photos. When the portrait is nearing completion, the client will be asked to view the painting so any necessary adjustments to the likeness can be made to your satisfaction. |
