Experience t h e m ic h a e l ston e Where to start? It was such a pleasure and a delight to work with Mike! Within the first few minutes of our portrait session, it was clear that Mike is The Child Whisperer. I was in awe, observing how he interacted with our young children, whom he had just met, coaxing their true personalities to emerge, and then capturing them with understanding and grace. Mike s attention to detail is impeccable, and his level of customer service is truly exceptional. Mike takes tremendous pride in his work, and it shines throughout the whole process. Our portraits are stunning! I sincerely hope that our family will have an opportunity to work with Mike again. Juliet Correll Wright Everyone who has seen the photographs has said nothing but great things! We LOVE them! - Jacob & Katie Schur, Berlin, MA Mike is one of the best portrait photographers I know. He taught me the nuances of portrait photography. I highly recommend seeing him! - David Grover, Boston MA Visit Us At WWW.MICHAELSTONEPORTRAITS.COM
a look at our specialties PORTRAIT ART All of our portraits are expertly crafted and meticulously hand finished for uncompromising quality. Each piece four by five inches and larger is mounted on artist board to preserve and protect the portrait, then carefully coated with hand applied glaze finish for life-long protection and to bring out the depth and beauty of the image, then beautifully hand edged in a gold finish. Wall portraits are bonded to natural fiber canvas on stretcher frames, the same way priceless works of art are displayed in museums. Careful retouching of every image by hand, blending highlight and shadow, accenting every eye, painstakingly detailing every feature, creates a final image that you will be proud to display in your home. Each piece is truly a one-of-a-kind work of art. It takes 8-12 weeks to produce such exacting quality by hand.
