Five Year portraits
There are few portraits more important than the five year portrait. This portrait captures the innocence of childhood. The goal is to create the portrait before they loose any teeth. Once they loose their teeth they really begin to change physically. They loose their little girl or little boy features. This is the portrait that one day they will hand down to their children. I work hard to make sure we create a portrait that captures their personality in addition to documenting the bone structure of their face, hands and feet. When you choose to have your portrait created in oil or as a watercolor you create a true heirloom.
These are great examples of watercolor portraits capturing their five year milestone. The sisters portrait was created last year and the brothers we just completed. Don’t let this important time pass without allowing me to create a portrait of your five year old. 
Happy Birthday Blog! When I launched this blog last year I had no idea how popular it would become. Thanks to you in just one short year my blog has become one of the most widely read photography blogs in the world! Is the internet amazing or what? I really appreciate all of your comments and suggestions. Yes I know many of you are addicted and I promise to make next year's entries even more touching and exciting. Hope to see all of you in the studio SOON!
