These Portraits involve layers of detail and can take several months to plan and complete. The procedure generally begins with sketches and photographs of the subject. Client input is important and the client will have the opportunity to review plans for the painting. There is a 20% discount for each additional subject in a painting. Highly detailed backgrounds may incur an additional fee. Travel fees, shipping, framing and applicable taxes are not included in the price. There is a minimum fee required in the event I travel to your location; please contact me for this information. Sizes start from 16" x 20".

Procedure
1. The first meeting is to discuss and reach agreement regarding the portrait size, medium, background, clothing, accessories, and any other elements to be included in the portrait. We also discuss where the portrait will hang and any precedent to be followed. This can be done by phone but is best done in person.

From this information, the final price is determined and a contract of agreement is signed. A one-third deposit is required at this time.

2. The second meeting may occur on the same day or on another date. It consists of photographing the subject in the decided outfit, setting and pose. Set-up for the photography takes about an hour, followed by an hour or more photographing the subject. If you have a favorite photo of the subject it may be used if it of a high enough quality.

3. The cost and selection of the frame is separate from the portrait. Upon request, framing recommendations can be given.

4. Travel, mileage, shipping, and other associated expenses are additional. These are itemized and billed separately from the portrait.
