Nature & Environmental Portraiture

The art of photographing people (including furry family members) within meaningful surroundings.

Nature & Environmental Portraiture

Environmental & nature portraiture creates an image that merges people with meaningful surroundings. Most often the individual has a connection to the location. Nature portraits combine the subject and landscapes, whether it is an urban or rural landscape. While occasionally a traditional portrait is created, rarely will there be a "look at me and smile" image. Most often the images captured tell the story of the subject.  Sessions are scheduled approximately one to two hours before sunset, utilizing the natural light. Of course sessions are dependent upon the weather forecast. The sessions are available on a limited basis.


The client gallery, consisting of approximately twenty images, will be opened for review four to five weeks following the photo session. The gallery allows for favoriting images, downloading the images (at no additional cost) and sharing with family and friends. 


A photo book will be curated from the gallery's signature images. Additional books as well as prints are available for purchase.


Print quality of the images is guaranteed when printed through the authorized photographic lab. Please refer to the print FAQs on the Investment Page for more information


Retouching on anything other than non-permanent blemishes, may result in a retouching fee. If you prefer forego retouching, please advise the photographer at the photo session.


Prior to contacting me to schedule a session, please review the Environmental Portrait and Printing FAQs. A non-refundable fifty-percent deposit is required to reserve the session and the remaining payment is due at the start of the session. A rain date will be provided in the event of inclement weather.
