SUMMER SESSIONSImagine your family at the beach in the cool of the evening, barefoot in the sand creating a family treasure.

Whether it is beach or backyard, the summer is perhaps the best time to create a family portrait. The days are long. The weather is warm. Everything is lush and beautiful.

Paul, our portrait artist, is particularly good at working with families, with children, with pets and teenagers, groups large and small, the wild and the tame. Coming from a big family, Paul thrives in the midst of the chaos (and joy) of everyday family life. His work is often described as painterly and graceful.

Be sure to book early as summer dates go quickly—especially the sunset sessions.



THERE’S NO PLACELIKE HOME

Many clients do not think of their home as a great place to create a portrait. It is. Whether your front yard or your front hall, there are a variety of places that work well for portraits.

You’d be surprised how much potential there is right in your own backyard. Why not have us come out to start planning your special portrait?


“It is always our goal to create the

type of portraits that, years from now, your

children will love.”


“A man travels the world over in search of what he needs,

and returns home to find it.”

GEORGE MOORE

“Home is the nicest word

there is.”-LAURA INGALLS WILDER

INTRODUCING

Art PortraitsBISTRO

With a nod to classical paintings and a dose of cinematic intrigue, our Bistro Art Portraits are one of a kind. Created, developed and available only at Lorei Portraits.



“Think of Bistro Art Portraits as a modern twist on classical portraits—a painterly piece with a little cinematic

intrigue—and your family has all the starring roles.”


“After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one’s own relations.”

– OSCAR WILDE


PERSONALITYPORTRAITS

If you had one portrait to show the world who you are,

what would it look like?

SENIOR PORTRAITS

There are lots of folks with cameras these days. And so many options. For your senior portraits, wouldn’t you like something special? Wouldn’t you like to be photographed by a professional portrait artist—someone with twenty-eight years of experience? Wouldn’t you like someone who can capture the most amazing you—in studio or at the beach or park or a thousand different places? Our goal is to create great

portraits of you—to show the world the very best version of yourself.

We want you to look great. Your hair, your clothes, your style. That’s why we are so careful about making sure your outfits, your pose and your environment all work together. That’s why we meet with you individually to find out about your hopes and interests as we plan for the big day.



PAINTINGS

Looking for an art piece that is both timeless and beautiful? Our mixed media paintings, with their distinctive brush strokes start as photographs and are completely repainted into a work of art. Allow 3-4 months for completion. Ask for a quote. (See the image on the back cover of this issue.)


TESTIMONIALS“Thanks to Paul and his team for our photo shoot

at the beach. He, his wife and son went above and

beyond in making us comfortable and at ease. We

highly recommend using Lorei Portraits for any of your

occasions. It was wonderful being able to capture Max

and our family during his senior year. “

GOOD WORKS:MERCY CENTER FOR WOMEN

For the past seven years Lorei Portraits has worked

closely with The Mercy Center for Women in

creating donating portraits for the annual Women

Making History event. The Mercy Center for Women

established in 1994 enhances the lives of women and

children fleeing domestic violence, homelessness

and addiction. The Sisters of Mercy wrap the mission

around serving the needs of women on their journey

to recovery. They offer programs in finances, self-

esteem, job readiness and other areas in building the

“whole” person.

The residents live together in a house filled with

opportunity and promise for tomorrow. There are 15

bedrooms which can accommodate up to 15 women

and 34 children. The residents take turns cooking,

cleaning and helping each other daily. The Mercy

Center works with women to become self-sufficient

and to secure permanent housing.


Each year the Mercy Center for Women honors outstanding

women from our community at their

annual event:Women Making

History.
