Every business person needs a way to present the best of themselves, especially when they can’t be in the room to do it.

Business portraits that communicate this message for you when you are not in the room will communicate it better, faster and more effectively than you might believe. Many of my clients have had the remarkable experience of increased business simply by using a portrait that lets people know why they should get in touch with you. Ask me about the three questions every portrait should answer effectively. Some folks call these “headshots,” a term that sometimes causes people to think cheap, quick and dirty. If you want to promote your business and yourself, invest in yourself - look your best and express the best of yourself in a business portrait by Michael D. McGuire

Someone once said (believe it, or not) that, “If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a portrait by Michael McGuire must be worth a million dollars!”

Fall/Winter Portraits

Kurtz-15-web


Any time is a good time to create the family portrait, but Winter is one of the best times. Indoors or out, a fine family image is the best way to stay in touch with your family history and to have a memory “trigger” for all the really good times. The big holidays are a great time for a portrait by Michael McGuire, but almost any time of the year is a good time (Think Fall and Winter). Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Granddad or Grandmother have birthdays and anniversaries, Kids celebrate the arrival of another year – these are all good times to create that family portrait. We don’t want to put it off any longer. When we do, we lose many of the bits and pieces of the family’s history, often forever. Don’t wait. Call and set a date and time to make it happen.

Winter is when we all feel more energetic - and that includes our pets It’s no longer hot, and dogs, cats and even birds love the change in season and look their best. For me it is a time to create great pet portraits. To finally have that wonderful photo of your pet and his/her friends, call today to set a date and time for a pet session.

Getting that picture you took "just right...

Sometimes, you get a really good photograph with your camera and wish you had a bigger version that you could frame and hang in your office or your home. You want it be the best it can possibly be - not a cheap print from Costco or somewhere else. Perhaps you do want Costco to print it, but you want the image file to be exactly the way it should be, so the print comes out as near perfect as is possible. Well, now you can have that. I am offering my skills in PhotoShop and a few other softwares to make sure you get what you want.

Yousefs cat

This is an image I processed for a client, Yousef Shafiee. It came from his non-professional digital camera as a Jpeg, which I processed and set it up for a 12x16 inch print on Ilford Luster paper. If you would like me to do this for you, I can provide either a print (up to 12x18 inches) or a Tiff file at the size image you want (this is good if you want it even bigger, and I will recommend a print maker to you). My fee for this is $25.00 (plus tax for a print - no tax for the electronic transfer). Contact me via the “send an email” page for more information and/or directions on how to get the file to me.
