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.

With all that changes, some things still remain the same:
A couple decides that their two will become one (and added little ones, too!)
And the energy of their precious private moment
becomes an artistic testament to their love.
Do the photographs in your home thrill you?
If they don’t, call me! I do my best to see you at your Best!

With good will and applause,
I introduce my signed, special edition ceramic mug,
It beams out an artistic image of energy
to hold dark roast or Darjeeling.
I make it in single, a set of two,
and a set of four in which all have different energy designs.
Coffee is life. And energy.
I love making both.
Email perryportraitart@gmail.com for price.
These are a limited edition of eleven each.
Thank you for supporting a local artist.
In areas of my life, I sometimes think of a classic idea in cartoons:
the hero or main character runs off a cliff and continues to keep running in air – as long as they don’t look down.
The concept of following one’s own path has something of that same slightly unreal feeling at first. But instead of anticipating a fall, I believe my path will carry me over the chasm to the other side and keep on going.
I have a mind that wants to extrapolate and guess all the combination of possibilities beforehand. It serves me well, but sometimes I have to step out on faith, and follow the decision to reveal myself publicly as a photographer who uses intuition and psychic sensitivity freely in my work and in my life.
I work for myself, so when I feel tense or anxious, I “reboot” by reading something short, simple and inspirational.
For ten years a beautiful book of meditations called “The Language of Letting Go” has been my friend when I feel crowded by a workday of too many calls, tasks, or demands on my time.
There have been newer versions with new affirmations as she continues to write and evolve, but this edition from 1990 continues to be my personal favorite.
Today’s entry referred to consideration of the idea that what we are learning at work often reflects and resonates to the things we are working out in private life. My issues of clearer communication with my clients can echo my issues of effective communication with my family.
Issues of establishing policies and boundaries with my clients can reflect where I place my boundaries with my loved ones–or where to place them in new relationships.
Issues of money, sexuality, childhood, self-esteem, fear of failure (or fear of success) can still appear at the most inopportune times. But they have less power to keep me off-balance all day as in years past. And I can tell immediately when something doesn’t feel right with me…and why.
So I welcome my visitors from the past, and redefine them with physical modalities like EFT and my eye exercises. I have respect for the lessons they still have to teach.
More and more these days, I am seeing that where I want to be in my decisions, photography career, and life is over on the other side of that ‘leap of faith’.
