Cimino Family Portrait

one of the my most cherished things about what karen and i do is meeting families and being invited into their home to celebrate their life through our photography. the cimino family were gracious with sharing with me a slice of their home that i could not resist capturing in this photograph for their family portrait. i have learned throughout my "listening" to my clients that ones home could never be replicated in any studio or backdrop. the emotion, comfort and pure familiarity of their environment is priceless. i have developed our location portraits to embody a more natural feel both by orchestrating natural and controlled lighting reminiscences of our studio but from our clients home environment.
