Portraits for a Lifetime
Good photographs show a person's outside, Great portraits reveal their character.
Let’s make great, one-of-a-kind portraits of you and your family that you will cherish for years to come. Images that capture your spirit and character. We'll use a combination of light, composition, as well as capture moments which tell your story.
Clients are like family and I value the time I spend with each one. I don’t rush the photoshoot to ensure we capture the images you desire. Each session is personally designed with the time to execute so your portraits are unique.
Then with the artwork we have created, decorate your home with beautiful canvases and metal prints, or framed prints if you prefer, and an album to display on your coffee table.
With years photographing portraits for national newspapers, magazines, and wire services, I endeavor to capture storytelling moments. Whether you are the local soccer star or a world famous director, no subject is too small nor too difficult.
From senior portraits & families, artists & musicians, to the executive, I'll capture the unique side of your character.
Here's what one client says about their photos:
"Not only did Paul capture her beauty but he captured the beauty of the Bellingham, WA area. Paul made her dream come true. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts; you captured the innocence of youth and the maturity of adulthood. My wish is that EVERY graduate could experience the life long memories that you created." - Michael

Business Photography
Introduce your customers to who you are and what your business is about with professional corporate photography. Make your website stand out with images that are unique. Why use stock images of random people? Use images of real customers, your staff, and your facility. It's your business, take pride in it and let me capture those images which tell your company's story.
Be original and use original photography. Images that are exclusive to your business avoid the embarrassing situation of looking like another website which may use the same stock photos.
