Portrait Photography

Portraiture Is The Art Of Capturing The Essence And Vitality Of A Subject. There's More To A Good Portrait Than Just Saying “Cheese.”

At Ashcraft Studio our aim is to focus on the subject's face in a portrait. However, this does not mean that the person’s body or even the background won’t be included. Sometimes the perfect background gives context to an image.

ON-SITE

In some cases, the environment can define a moment. We bring a “portable studio” of equipment to stage the perfect shot in your special location.

IN-STUDIO

With a 3000 square-foot professional in-house studio, we aren’t subject to the whims of the weather to get your portrait just right. Our classic in-studio techniques, developed over decades, capture the sparkle in your eye that makes the difference between an image and art.
