Would You Like An Online Album To Share Your Session Portraits?

Clicking the portrait links below will take you to the Google Drive Portrait Album for that session.  In the Top Right-Hand Corner of the photo album you will see a text link, "Download all" if you would like to download all the images at once in a zip folder.  You may also just click and download any individual image(s) you would like.  Online Portrait Albums posted here are available up to 30 days after portrait session.  In the session name below, if you see a number in parenthesis, (1), (2), etc., that means that is another portrait session that was shot for the same customer during that same day.  Please, download your session images within 30 days.  To reduce operating expenses, we automatically delete sessions after 30 days.  The Online Session Album service is provided at no additional charge.

NOTICE:  If you are waiting for more portraits to show up in your online Portrait Album, when you go to your Portrait Album again, you may need to Refresh or Reload the page for any updates to resolve in your browser.

Top Class Portraits™ sessions are archived here for up to 30 days after portrait session.  Here your family and friends may come to view and download their favorite full resolution printable JPEGs from your portrait session(s).   Top Class Portraits™ sessions are labeled by date of the portrait session followed by last name.  Click the portrait date/last name above to view that Top Class Portraits™ session album on Google Drive.  If you have viewed and downloaded all your portraits and would like your online portrait album removed, just use Contact Form to request removal of your link on this page. 

While I do require written permission to use any and all photographs I create for public display, etc., your portrait session does NOT have to be posted here for sharing with family and friends.  This service is offered as a convenience for my portrait customers.  If you prefer, I can simply email you a link to your Google Drive Portrait Album.  You may then share this link with who you choose.

All images I create for my portrait customers include "basic" photo retouching.  What's this?  I define it as any photo shop retouching I have the skills and ability to do within 60 seconds per image.  Doesn't matter how complex or sophisticated some may consider the photo shop technique employed, as long as I can do it for you within 60 seconds - your image will get it as I deem necessary and at no extra charge to you. 

There are different feelings about portrait retouching.  Some people don't think they look like themselves after retouching and so there is some level of disappointment in their portraits.  But just keep this in mind.  You are NOT any blood shot eyes, skin acne, bags under eyes, shaving cut and any other skin and skin color issues.  So I do basic retouch to correct those by default - unless you instruct me not to provide portrait retouching.

The Best Color Palettes for Family Portraiture

Depending on when and where your family is being photographed, the color of your clothing can compliment your surroundings and help create an eye-catching image.  Check out the images below and their respective color palettes to get an idea of colors to wear for your family's portrait.  Don't forget to discuss wardrobe options with your photographer.  PLAN this with your photographer BEFORE your portrait session.  Exceptional and beautiful portraits don't happen by accident.  Just like a TV show or movie.  All about planning.
