Procedure
Mary believes that a successful portrait is a true collaboration between client and artist
Before beginning a portrait Mary speaks with the client to work out preliminary details such as the type of portrait desired, number of subjects, appropriate background clothing etc. She travels to the client's location and shoots a series of digital images, takes notes, and makes sketches as needed. A two-hour photographic session is usually adequate. Often a second visit is recommended, it's amazing how a small child no longer sees a stranger on the second visit.

Mary proceeds with the portrait in her New Jersey studio. She will keep you up to date on the progress of the portrait and with completion times.
