SACRAMENTO ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY

“If I had a photograph of you,
It's something to remind me.
I wouldn't spend my life just wishing.”

--Wishing, A Flock of Seagulls

You know that when you meet the love of your life, you don’t want to be separated from one another—especially after you become engaged. So the next best thing to being there is to have a photograph you can look at to remind yourself. Thanks to the finest Sacramento engagement photography, you can have that with ease!

Quintessence Photographic Art is well known for various types of incredible portraits but not many are aware, or even think of, Sacramento engagement photography as a romantic gesture toward your significant other.

With many weddings sometimes having a great deal of time between the engagement and the actual ceremony, it’s a nice touch to do something romantic for each other. Rather than purchasing expensive gifts because you’re saving for the wedding, just a small remembrance such as professional Sacramento engagement photography will allow you to not only have photos of each other to share but also to pass out to friends and family! Contact us today to continue sweeping one another off your feet!

Gather the family up and make sure you call us to get professional holiday portraits in Sacramento before everyone heads back home.

Professional family portraits in Sacramento are nice additions to any home. As time marches on, you can change the portraits each year to see how everyone has changed.

If you’re looking for professional holiday portraits in Sacramento for your business, we can handle that also. All of the partners in a law firm can congregate and pose for a beautiful picture together or separately to hang in the lobby of your upscale office.

FAMILY PORTRAITS IN FOLSOM

For some reason, the enjoyment of having family portraits in Folsom, Placer County and throughout America, really, has fallen out of vogue. Well, Gail Shoop-Lamy is bringing it back!

For years, it was considered normal to have family portraits hanging in homes in cities like Folsom. People from all walks of life (but especially the wealthy) would commission a photographer and the entire family would gather together and pose for a beautiful photo.

However, as the years went on, and cameras became inexpensive enough for everyone to own their own, family portraits in Folsom and Placer County from a professional photographer were largely forgotten as people took photos for themselves. However, what people saved in money, they lost in artistic value. Yes, taking your own photos saves on the cash you’ll spend on a photographer, but you’ll rarely obtain the same consistency and quality you would with a professional.

When a professional who’s studied the craft takes photos, they bring with them experience and knowledge. They’ve done professional headshots in Sacramento, wedding photography in Sacramento, children’s photography in Rescue and even Amador County business portraits. They have an incredible and very well trained eye for capturing what others normally wouldn’t and, of course, better equipment with which to shoot projects. So if you and your family are, like Gail, looking to bring back the great tradition of family portraits, contact her today to arrange your sitting!
