Business Portraits - Images Jim Forrestal

Terri and Ben

Thank you to Terri and Ben for having me photograph their wedding at Forrestal's last Saturday. What a great couple! I've attached a few of their images for you to enjoy. Also booking for next year.

Enjoy!

Bella

Here's Bella, a little Boston Terrior who runs the house. I brought her into the studio and photograpghed her in front of a blue background. I then applied a paint effect to almost make it a cartoon. Just one more image of my doggie to plaster all over the house!

Portrait retouching really does make a difference

Take a look at these two images. Can you see the difference? Every final image I create is retouched and processed to enhance one's best features. Don't we all want to be portrayed in the best light possible? I don't want to completely change the way you look. Just smooth out life's little character lines, open the eyes a little, brighten the teeth, smooth out stray hair. When was the last time you had a professional portrait created?

Middleton Fire District #1 Building

Today I delivered and helped hang(along with chief Aaron Harris)the framed print of the new Middleton Fire district #1 building wall print to the station, which is on University Ave in Middleton WI. This image was created at 4:50am in June of last year. It is an original HDR image saved in raw format, processed for high dynamic range, and tweaked to produce the final results. It is 32"x48" and is the largest image I have framed in my 31 years in the photography business! In July, the fire district will hold an open house, and I hope that you will stop by and take a look at my work, and say hello to our volunteer firefighters!
