Yes, I have been doing this for about 12 years, so I have plenty, of course I'd only be willing to show what I have done in the last year, but that is more than 20, so..

And, um, NO, I wouldn't take a picture of my studio, there is no bed down there to shove the mess under ;) .

Quote:

At an easter egg hunt Sunday I was approached by a very enthusiastic young (RICH) mother that wants a portrait and asked me to let her her have a tea for me so that she could show me off to all of her friends in Charlotte. (That is the way she put it) I was later informed that I would be a fool to not jump on it, that she was indeed smack in the middle of all the old charlotte money.

Now I have to ask myself: Why do I live in Seattle?

Anyway, Peggy Baumgaertner says to have about 12 of your best paintings in a portfolio. Even if you have more, twelve is about all people can absorb. I have a double page spread for each portrait. an image of the overall painting on the right and on the left of the spread, a closeup of the head.

You should use any other empty pages in your album for bio and promotional material about yourself.

Mary, where did you find the album you describe?

Well, Michelle, seems to me from recent conversations that you are doing just fine out there in Seattle!

I actually found the girl on ebay, and emailed her explaining what I was looking for. She emailed back with several options.

Mary,

Your price seems pretty good.

I ordered mine from http://www.michelcompany.com
