Some people say.
“Living well is the best revenge.”
I feel that living well
is ‘mental’ before it becomes material.
Seeing vastness of abundance
(visually, spoken, or in emotional feeling)
in the early dreaming planning stages
of envisioning great feeling life
enriches the picture with the small details
that make whatever you create
just right for you.

Whether the subtle sensing of intuition
or the sparkling active energy of attraction,
‘woo’ is my personal word
and favorite feeling.

Like Vincent Van Gogh, Vivian Maier’s fame
came after her death.
That decision to bring her camera,
to record her life in photographs
and practice and misstheshot and have agooddaybutbadlight
and haveabadday andgetstubborn andcryandkeepcomingback
and hoping the light is good when she can get some time.
The seeing, taking the photo all one can do,
becomes the art. The making it that counted.
Even in normal days,
there are times of beauty
and opportunities for awed appreciation.
Pay attention. And have your camera with you.
I welcome the opportunity to create thoughtful portraits for discerning clients.

At the scene called Sunday Service,
I’m so delighted I’ve got a spot
I can ‘put my hand on my hip and let my backbone slip.’
An additional pleasure is seeing photographs at every turn.
This child’s face of concentration lights the center
of a passionate crowd of dancing grownups.

Chickens come home to roost, and so do your thoughts. Be careful what sort of thoughts you send out.
The thoughts you send out to others will have a far greater impact upon you than upon them.
Unlike a material possession, when you release a thought or give it to someone else, it also stays with you.
It may remain buried in your subconscious long after your conscious mind has forgotten about it.
Like chickens that return to the coop at night, such thoughts may flash into your consciousness when you least expect them.
When your thoughts are positive, you never have to worry about the damage you may do to yourself through negative thinking.
Cheerful, productive, happy thoughts that are buried in your subconscious bring positive results when they recur, and by their presence they encourage the maintenance of a positive attitude in all that you do.
This is a thought-energy selection from my favorite, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.
I would love to help create and maintain positive energy in the home through intimate family and personal photography.

A moment before
the official portrait,
another one
was already there.

If I can help record your legacy (and personality!), let’s talk here.
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 –
They truly embody innocence, essential energy, and innate purity.
I’d love to help record the fresh energy of newborns, toddlers and early youth
that changes so quickly (don’t we moms know!)
If you are interested in commissioning a portrait of your family,
let’s talk about how to make yours special.

I photographed their parents elopement portrait
and their blending families,
and amongst the official moments
of this special day, of a new life,
they created a new portrait
especially for me to see.
I wish their big, brand new family
many moments of unity, amity, and love.
Perry Portrait Art captures real families and their good energy.

There is a generosity of spirit I continually refer to in dealing with others.
The best way I can describe it is intent, creation, and maintenance of a state of mind
that is flexible, open eyed, and playfully creative.
It trains itself to see abundance in the environment,
experiences simple, present-moment emotions of happiness,
maintains a grounded, connection with internal wisdom (quickly when needed)
and surrounds itself with reminders
to look upward and inward for its answers.
