The pictures and story of your life are filled with faces, places, emotions and moments in time that can never be duplicated. From birth to high school senior to college and graduation, your moments are far too precious to leave to memory alone. This is the reason William Hodge Portrait Gallery, along with GradPortraits, exists.

The portraits that you acquire through the years are chapters in your life; your prized possions. These milestone moments are what you'll look back on to remember each day; each face; each emotion and each vignette that is the story of your life.

What are your family's Milestone Moments; graduating from high school or college, achieving The Eagle Scout Award, achieving a leadership promotion at work or the moment before your children spread their wings and fly off to college or start their own families. These are just a few of the moments you need to remember with a portrait.

Portraits are not expensive, they're priceless.

Creating exceptional portraits for you of these important Milestone Moments is what we do better than anyone else!

I've spent a week each with Arthur Rainville & Jennifer Hudson, Tony Korbel, Joseph & Louise Simone, Trevon Baker and Carl Caylor, all disciples of Don Blair (you'll notice, I'm vicariously learning his styles through others, since he's no longer with us.)
