Dorothy Perry | Personal Photojournalist | Chicago
In birthdays past,
I have posted lists of things
I wish to accomplish,
or something I hope
may be of interest to you as well.
This birthday, I simply ask to
stay grounded in reality.
My skill is capturing photos of family and connection memory
that will stay fresh and vital for years to come.
Contact Perry Portrait Art today!
A moment before
the official portrait,
another one
was already there.
If I can help record your family legacy
with fine lifestyle portraits,
let’s talk here.
This jaunty derby
was an essential part
of this young man’s
daily wear for school
for a time.
We artistic types recognize
what courage it takes
and what it costs
to be so different
in this world.
This tiny picture fragment
from long ago
becomes a testament
to childhood’s enduring,
beautiful spirit.
To witness the moment in photographs.
To record the beautiful grace of infancy.
To remember the elders, travelling to see their new young one.
To document time, place, and reality for the future.
To make good energy visible for the home.
To celebrate the two, becoming three.
To honor the spirit of family.
This is why.
If I can help record your family legacy with fine lifestyle portraits, I welcome your inquiry at http://www.dorothyperry.com/contact/.
sometimes your precious cats or dogs
look their best in a nice outfit!
Framed ‘royal portraits’ of your beloved ‘fur persons’
can be transformed into pillows, photo art, skins
or other ways to keep your loved ones’ good energy visible!
Artistic, original pet or memorial art of your fur babies by Perry Portrait Art.

It’s a beautiful use
of the best part of you,
and the process to enter
an extraordinary way of life.
Love what you’ve done!
These words usually accompany a new hairdo or living room design.
But this was the response from a father, freshly grieving the loss of his only son,
viewing what I created from the candid image he sent me.
These natural words really meant a lot to me on an emotional level,
knowing what this picture meant to him.
I love what I do
in creating something personal and special for those who are bereaved:
remembering and honoring their loved ones in contemplative art.
If this idea ‘sparks’ a feeling for the need
to see a treasured photo transformed into a memorial portrait,
I would love to help make it a reality.
May your loved one’s memory be a blessing.
His dad asked for an updated image.
But rather than take a new one,
I sought an expression with staying power,
containing the potential
to stand in lieu of contact for months,
and soothe the pangs
of conscience and distance
until they met again.
For help to create (or restore) an image of the loved ones in your family,
reach out through the Contact Page for a personal consultation.
I look forward to your call.
All the best,

Cease practice based
on intellectual understanding,
pursuing words and
following after speech.
Learn the backward step
that turns your light inward
to illuminate within.
Body and mind of themselves
will drop away,
and your original face
will be manifest. — Dogen
This ancient poem
holds the energy
of what I choose to see
in the world around me –
and what I seek to create.
Genuine. Inspired. Human.

Today’s On The Easel is an infant’s portrait in natural light.
Very small infants are absolutely lovely while they observe their world around them –
I love how they embody their innocence, essential energy, and innate purity.

or as a gift for a treasured client, contact me so we can talk about how to make yours special.
I’d love to help see you surrounded by beautiful, meaningful personal art of the people that matter in the places that are ‘home’ to you.
