The Wall Art

I love serious portraits!

but we get the other kind too!

see all the rest on their slideshow below!

I am pleased to offer exclusive Mother’s Day Portrait Sessions for FREE with any wall portrait purchase*! Each “mom” in the picture will also receive a free gift from Allegra’s Studio!

Patricia (above) said this about her pictures (translated from Spanish): Dear Allegra. Words are totally useless to describe the impression, happiness, proud feelings and joy that we felt seeing your wonderful job with the kids (and with ourselves). This should be totally expressed with colors and music. : Thank you very much for your fantastic pictures. We will definitely invite you to Madrid every year (this has to continue forever: ) (I have already been commissioned to return this summer and photograph this family)ow many times is “mom” taking the photograph? How many pictures do YOU have of your mom? Do you think they might be related?

Kathleen(above) had this to say about her experience with Allegra’s Studio: I wanted to thank you for delivering all the pictures to my work yesterday. They are very beautiful. I don’t think I have every received such a touching Christmas present before …. I think the whole process has made me so emotional because the boys and I have gone through quite a journey together all these years and when I finally slowed down and looked at your beautiful photos, I realized that my little boys have become men. I am so proud…. Thank you again for all your hard work and making my holidays so special. I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas.

Studies have shown that kids self esteem can be helped with photographic reminders of growth and change. Here’s an article from the Baltimore Sun that discusses just this!

I know that I commission a photographer yearly to capture my family portrait (well because otherwise my child would have no pictures WITH her mom!) I think it’s that important! This was last year’s picture.

Each session at Allegra’s Studio includes three appointments – the first, a telephone consultation to determine whether we’ll have a classical traditional session or a modern contemporary session. Allegra will coordinate the clothing, time and location for your portrait to ensure the optimal conditions.

Your 2nd appointment is your session on location. It lasts approximately 45 minutes.

Your third appointment consists of your ordering session. You will have the opportunity to view your images and select your favorites for your wall portraits, your book and gift prints!

Here are some more specifics:

1. This is for a “family” portrait. There must be a mom in the pictures – it’s not just the kids or the grandparents or for engaged couples or boudoir or your musical instrument!

2. The special must be paid before Mother’s Day 2011 but the session can be held any time before May 31st subject to Allegra’s schedule.

3. Yes, I can absolutely give you a lovely gift certificate in a gift wrapped package!

4. I will only be offering five sessions for this special and when they are gone, they are gone!

Contact us NOW to schedule an appointment – only FIVE sessions available!
