The initial meeting enables me to get to know you and will include a discussion of your interest and needs and how my work can best meet them. I will guide you through the process as we review my files for ideas of poses and mood, or review your photographs for a possible reference.

In order to meet your need exactly, I generally elect to create a new photograph. A photo session will be set up at a mutually agreed upon location, often at your home. I will advise you in selecting the right clothing and setting to enable us, together, to create a timeless design and composition which will communicate the subject's unique personality.

Once a photograph has been selected, an agreement will be signed for commencement of work which will include the size of the piece, the medium to be used, specific preferences, and an estimated time frame. A 50% non-refundable deposit will be made at that time.

The completed painting will be delivered to you if you live in the local area. Shipping costs, if necessary, are your responsibility and payment in full is due at the time of delivery.

The painting I create represents the subject through my artistic filters, my creative experience and my technical preferences. I want you to be thrilled with this addition to your home and I will gladly make minor changes at the end of one week, if you desire.

As a complementary service, I will accompany you to a reputable frame shop and assist in making a decision about permanent framing. Quality matting and framing is as essential to a dynamic design as selecting the right lighting and pose. This step can help turn this unique fine art into a striking display and competing conversation piece; a prestigious addition to your home.

You may enjoy celebrating the completion of your commissioned fine art with an unveiling party for friends and family. I am honored to attend these festive evenings and offer a discount on future commissions for referrals generated from the event.
