Photography vs. Portraiture

With a good camera and little color adjusting, everyone is a photographer. Photography just kind of happens… but PORTRAITURE is a different thing altogether. It takes thought, preparation, experience, skill and A LOT of time and money. Eppicmoments decided a long time ago that we would offer “quality”–no matter how much sacrifice and work it takes.

We choose to produce quality over quantity.  Truthfully, that is a concept that isn’t really rewarded in our “biggie-size-me” society.   But our goal is to create photos that will one day be passed down from generation to generation in your family. Years from now, we hope that our work will hang in the home of your great-grandchildren where visitors stare and exclaim, “Your great-grandmother was so beautiful!”  In other words, we don’t want to fill all your facebook albums with photos…instead we want to take the one photo that always seems to end up as your profile pic. 

Here is just one example. A before and after:

This (above) is the look for all of our Valentines Mini-Sessions.  
I am embarrassed to say how much time and money I spent to make this look possible.
1. researching classic movie posters and french wall art
2. digitally painting the background
3. and having the backdrop printed
4. installing the backdrop and lighting
5. taking the photo with our new canon camera
6. color adjusting it to match an old hollywood palette
7. fully editing it to achieve the “romance movie star” look I was going for

So if you ever wandered what goes into making an Eppicmoments Portrait…there it is: crazy amounts of time, stupid amounts of monetary sacrifice, and letting NOTHING stop us from giving our clients a unique, classic, timeless portrait.
