I recently acquired a new hand-painted fabric backdrop for formal portraiture that is very old school, but amazingly cool. It adds a certain sparkle individual and family portraits that is both subtle and dramatic.
I first used the new backdrop with a family of three boys. The oldest is married with a family of his own. The youngest was about to depart for a 2-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The family wanted a picture of their missionary son and one of the full family before he left. While all were assembled, we did grouping including just the parents, the oldest son, his wife, and their incredibly beautiful daughter, etc.
Portraiture is becoming an increasingly important part of my business. I receive referrals from family and friend, and business portrait requests from many of clients in the construction industry.
