If You Want a Memory You Will Cherish Forever. . .

Tampa Bay, home of one of the worlds finest beaches, provides the perfect location for your family beach portraits. The white sands from Ft. DeSoto to St. Pete Beach to Sand Key in Clearwater Fl are one of a kind and look great in a family portrait. I begin the session by photographing you before in front of the gorgeous sea oats and then turn to capture some dramatic sunset images of you and your family by the water. The beautiful beaches, white sand, sunny climate and exquisite atmosphere of the Tampa Bay area gulf beaches offers a sensational  background for family portraits.

Family Beach Portraits Clearwater FL
Paul, We can't thank you enough for all the effort you put forth to make sure we'd remember our wedding and family portraits forever! You went the extra mile at every turn. We all loved having you in Cozumel and you captured every moment beautifully. There are more excellant photos than we know what to do with. Please accept our most sincerely felt "thank you". Rick and Rachel, Eagan MN

I have loved the idea of creating warm, sensitive, exciting portraits of families together for many years ... in fact that's the "juice" that keeps me going ... but the idea of having these wonderful images printed into a more adequate size and hung in a "place of prominence" in the home really gets me excited! Most people have never even seen images like this, and very few own them.

Just this week I was thinking ... what better way for a man to make a significant statement to his family, friends, associates about how he feels about his family than to have a large canvas print created and hung in the home? I mean ... if a family friend, relative, business acquaintance arrives at your front door and you open the door, what will be the first thing that person sees as they enter your home? A 30 x 40 " mirror ... or an even larger wall hanging that doesn't have the power to say anything positive about anything! Or they could see a 30 x 40 " canvas mounted wall portrait of your entire family ... beautifully done ... hanging proudly in a place of prominence in your home. What statement does that say about how you feel about your family to anyone who enters your home ... and to your family members as well!

How can you capture your familiy's happiest moment, and on on to hold on them forever. . .

We Can Stop The Clock. Memories Are The Most Valuable Thing We Own.

If you're at all like most of the families on this website, you probably haven't given a lot of thought to having a family portrait created. Don't worry - that's pretty normal. You've got a lot of things going on in your life. Life is busier and crazier than ever, and family life in particular seems to be happening at an ever-accelerating pace.

Paul , Thank you so much for agreeing to send the pictures of Rochelle, Matt and Jacob for the DVD. We really do appreciate it. The photos we saw were wonderful and it was a dream fulfilled that Rochelle was able to have a family beach shot. She received it and had it framed and hung about a week or so before she passed away. Thanks again. Elizabeth Lance

By visiting my website, you must at least be considering having a portrait of your family created. Well, that's great - you will probably never make a decision that will bring you more lasting joy. However, there are some things you NEED to know before you and your family step in front of any camera. By the time you finish reading this single page, you will know everything you need to know about how to have the perfect family portrait created - the one you will cherish forever! You may feel that having a family portrait done is going to be a lot of work on your part. Well, it isn't! In fact, that could almost be one of the "myths or mistakes" right there. As long as you know the information on this site, it won't be any work at all.

Paul, The 8x10's arrived Monday and I loved them. Thanks so much for the extra gift of the notecards. I will cherish those and only send to my select friends. Then the canvas wall portrait arrived yesterday and I was hesitant to open it. However, I opened it up and I love the canvas wall portrait as well! Thanks so much for helping me decide on what to order. We have some beautiful family photos! Linda Volta

Your family is changing so fast, isn't it? Your children (and yes, they will be your children even when they are married and have kids of their own) are growing up, and becoming more like adults every day. Don't you wish you could just freeze time and hold these special moments forever?

Time is the one thing that none of us have enough of. It's the one thing that money can't buy. It's the one thing that we all would give just about anything for. Through photography, we can hold on to the moments in our lives that we wish could last forever. And, if it's done correctly, these same photographs can become almost like works of art that we display in our homes for everyone to see and share.

"There's No Way To GUARANTEE I Will Love My Family Portraits."

WRONG! Depending on who creates your family portrait, that is. Just suppose you had a family portrait created, and your son or daughter didn't look natural in it. The photograph was "ok," but it didn't turn out spectacular. Should you have to pay for it? ABSOLUTELY NOT! I believe strongly that no one should ever have to pay for a photograph that isn't PERFECT. CHECK THIS OUT - A Guarantee Unlike Any You've Ever Heard:"If You or Your Family Don't Look The Happiest & Best You've Ever Looked In These Photographs - You Don't Pay Me For Them."

These photographs will be completely meaningless to you unless they convey the real emotions and relationships between you and your loved ones. That's the only real reason to have a family portrait created.

Every Time you walk by your Portrait I want you to think how much you love it!

Obviously, I'm totally confident that the portraits I create of you and your family will be well beyond anything you imagine. I believe completely that these photographs will become your most prized possessions.
