How do I create unique portraits? KNOW YOUR SUBJECTS. Build a relationship with your artist! So probably the best way to make sure you get great shots is of course making sure that you incorporate settings that reflect who and what reflects you as a family. These girls live in the city and their father is an artist so what makes sense is to go to places that reflect their lifestyle…urban living and use the beautiful sculptures that Houston Art scene has two offer as props.

The idea of framing the family within a sculpture is a wonderfully unique way to capture a memorable portrait and using whimsy to mimick the sculptures in the garden is playful and beckons memories of childhood. I love being an artist and taking the time to create lasting and specifically unique images that reflect each of my families tastes and lives is an important job and one that I do not take lightly. That is why I always tell my newbies that I am your artist for life…what I do is not to just see you one time and then that’s it. No, my relationships between artist and family is a direct reflection of  my work of who they are and what they are about and that my friends is the difference an artist makes! #artist #alisamurray #alisamurrayphotography
