Where Art Meets Portraiture
Check out the gallery and See for Yourself
Ardent Photography specializes in artistic portraiture. I allow the scenery of your life to be the backdrop of the portraits that will hang on your wall. Whether it is a park full of vibrant foliage or your cozy living room with you in your favorite recliner.

Reasons to Have Your Photograph Taken by Ardent
  • Your choice of locations, no generic backdrop.
  • Natural lighting
  • Capturing Moments not just poses.
Portrait Sessions include
  • Time in front of the camera at a rate of $180 per hour
  • Location of your choosing within 20 miles of Tacoma (travel extra for greater distances)
  • No limits on wardrobe changes, time permitting
  • Digital developing of your images
  • Some editing (like erasing the big zit that popped up the morning of the shoot)
  • Online gallery of your images that you can share with family and friends (available within a week after your shoot)
Session Length Suggestions
  • Head shots or personal portraits - Simple sessions can be done in a 1/2 hour session available for $90
  • Engagement or Post Wedding Portraits - 1 -2 hour session
  • Children and Small Family Portraits - can be done in 1 hour but budgeting for an two hours covers the chance of grumpiness
