Noah at Five

December is the month Noah turned 5 years old. It is also the time we made this lasting portrait of Noah for his parent's home. The morning of the camera study was unusually warm for this time of year and the sun's rays brightened our spirits as we created a composition around the lake on the family farm. The sun also created a few lighting challenges we overcame with scrims to shape the light as well as strobes to create the pleasing light Noah's face. The 24x30 canvas will now hang near his sister's portrait we created almost two years ago when she was five.
Great memories, and more to come.

Happy New Year!!

Mom and Dad's Favorite Work of Art

What a delight to spend the morning creating portraits of these two siblings and their parents. Wanting to bring out the distinctive art in the home, we created a composition that would marry Mom and Dad's personal taste in art with their most prized personal art: their children. The colors within the portrait work in harmony but don't distract from the beautiful expressions of brother and sister. The detail of the art behind the children replicate the wonderful golden locks surrounding that priceless expression.
