“I had a great time at my portrait session. I was nervous beforehand and not sure about what look I wanted. For the first 10 minutes of the session, I didn’t feel too relaxed, but eventually I was having fun! I definitely recommend this to any woman.”

“I really enjoyed my session, from make-up to the end result. The experience was wonderful. Al used his creative imagination to show an unseen and unknown side of me. I was a little nervous at first and Al respected me by staying in the bounds of my comfort level. The end results were a few beautiful pieces of artwork that will forever be a part of my family. Thanks, Al!”

“Our portrait ultimately illustrated both what I know to be the true nature of our children and a little something extra, as seen through your eyes – perhaps a glimmer of the ‘Pilgrim Soul’ that William Butler Yeats refers to in his poetry. The entire experience was absolutely unforgettable.”

“Five stars is not enough to describe Buschauer Portraits, ten would be more like it. Al is able to capture expressions on people faces that are so life like it is scary.

If you own a Buschauer Portrait in your home, you have arrived.”
