Creative Portraits
Soul Art Photography specializes in two styles of creative portraiture: Documentary Portraits & Lifestyle Portraits.


Documentary portraits are modern, photojournalistic images that capture the natural candid story of you. There's no pressure for fancy poses because your attention isn’t on the camera, it’s on engaging with loved ones & enjoying life’s pleasures. With these storytelling images, my aim is to seize the moment so that you can concentrate on being in the moment. I accompany you with my eye focused & lens ready to catch the loving exchanges & delicate intimacies that make an ordinary day truly anything but ordinary.
Great ideas for documentary portraits:
~ Play time at home ~ A picnic in the park ~ A romantic date ~ Celebrating holiday traditions ~ Any fun family outing ~
Lifestyle portraits are directed, camera-focused portraits that typically involve controlled lighting setups, posed body positioning, & unique wardrobe selections to produce original & inspired images. These guided sessions are best for creating portraits with an imaginative theme or specialized look, & are best for enthusiastic subjects who have distinct creative expressions that they’d like to capture. Lifestyle portraits can also be used for more relaxed & casual portraits for individuals, families, & couples.
Lifestyle portraits are ideal for:
~ Creative artists, musicians, & models ~ Fashion & make-up highlights ~ Intimate & glamour portraits ~ Solopreneurs & small business professionals ~

What To Expect . . .
Before the Session
We’ll have a pre-session “prep talk” to connect with each other & discuss image ideas, wardrobe choices, location selection, & what products you’re interested in. I’ll prepare you to be in front of the camera so you can fully enjoy the creation process.
Day of Session
We’ll meet at the chosen location & begin the session with a few test shots to get you comfortable & relaxed. We then ease into the awesome experience of creating your Soul Art. I’ll also have sample prints & art displays for you to preview & select your preferred styles.
After the Session
Now for the best part…seeing your images! I’ll set up a selection gallery of your best portraits for you to choose your favorites & place any additional orders. Once retouching is complete, you’ll be able to download your chosen portraits directly from your gallery.
