Though fun to produce, abstract, finger-painted tributes may be taken the wrong way, as Picasso found out the hard way in grade school. Instead, capture crystal-clear images with the fetching precision of photographer Kate Williams’s eagle eye, which was grown in a lab. Her love for photography and snagging striking images was nurtured during a three-month journey across 17 countries, just like Marco Polo’s search for himself. Combining a photojournalistic style with formal shots, Kate will capture a variety of planned and unplanned shot options. Each session includes one hour of shooting at any location in San Diego County, an online viewing of 30–40 retouched images. Additionally, the included CD of retouched images is convenient for printing your pics and for entertaining cats with fascinating beams of reflected laser light.

Yvette Sharis Photography is masterminded by Yvette Morales, a friendly photosmith who seizes photo ops and transforms them into high-quality images. Families or groups of up to five individuals can pick a meaningful location to pose for an up-to-two-hour session, as Morales snaps shots that faithfully record each clash of clothing and sparkling eye-apple. The resulting frames will eventually be uploaded to an online photo gallery, and customers can select 15–20 high-res images to be professionally edited and loaded onto compact disc, from which they can be duplicated over and over again, like paper currency.
Few can dependably predict the future, and Matthew Wolcott probably wasn't prepared to predict even his own destiny while he was studying history at Lee University. A part-time job at Sears Portrait Studio led to classes at the New York Institute of Photography, setting the stage for a full-fledged career snapping portraits and twiddling thumbs in darkrooms. These days, Image Photography is the home base of Matthew's current passion: documenting the slices of life that make up people's personal histories, from birth to weddings and graduation. He snaps candid and posed shots within his controlled studio—where he prefers the sophisticated minimalism of a white background—and his clients can select a favorable outdoor spot for on-location shoots. After each session, he expertly tweaks color levels and digital filters to best accentuate natural grins of each subject while highlighting jawlines that conform to the golden ratio.
After years of snapping photos alone, Matt was joined at Image Photography by Cassie Lawler. While working as a retail banker, Cassie took a vacation to Mexico, where she snapped more than 500 photos. She had a favorite—an image of a beachfront taken from the top of a lighthouse. She hung a print on the only wall that she personally owned, and it was that image that reminded her daily of her inborn passion for photography. When she isn't capturing unforgettable portraits with Matthew, Cassie studies human environmental sciences at the University of Alabama.
