What Do I Mean by Honest Portraits?

All my life I've been interested in other people's relationships with their family and themselves. It seems so many people have portraits made, you know, the happy-happy-say-cheese kinds of portraits that are pretty, but kind of superficial. They don't say anything about who those people *are.” Honest portraiture is authentic and shows the real love, concern, pride, strength, and so many other things that make us who we really are. My portrait clients choose me because they want to say who they and what about them is important and true.

What would your Honest Portrait look like? Would it be an emotionally tender moment with your spouse, child, or other family member? Would it be an image of you showing your truest personal identity? Would it be an environmental portrait showing you at your trade or personal passion?
