nine years running
Generations of thoughtful families have shared their lives with us since we
opened in 1973. Right now we boast the best team of creatives, assistants
and printers we've had in 45 years as a studio.
Recently, we lost our founder, father and grandfather Don Busath. Every
day our team pursues the same goals he did, to create honest, beautiful
portraits that stand the test of time.
We take immense pride in knowing and serving you. Please accept our
sincere thanks for the loyalty you've shown us throughout the years.
From our "studio family" to yours,
Drake, Bromley and Richard

Needs text.... will add individual family session portraits

window light
studios
Our studios glow with soft window light
in any weather and all year long.
Illumination comes from the entire wall
of each studio, bathing our subjects with
a flattering and dynamic light, just like the
studios of master painters.
A warm fireplace, natural window light,
and a myriad of backdrop choices, from
modern to classic, make our studios
truly unique.
Carriage House Studio
Studio family session $145
Warm, glowing light in any weather. Keep the style of your portrait simple and

what to wear? busath color palettes
When you book a session, we’ll send you our Fresh Classics Color Palettes with samples of
over 20 families dressed in different color palettes. Each has three or four color swatches
and simple instructions to follow. Choose a palette you like and email it to your family.
This makes what used to be challenging, well... pretty easy.

handcrafted
wall portraits
Very few portrait photographers print their own
work these days. We continue to make each wall
print by hand, on the longest-lasting canvas and
fine-art papers known to man.
Our canvas portraits can be mounted to acid-free
art board, or stretched onto a frame, like painters
have done for ages. You can then choose to add a
palette knife or brushed glaze for a painterly texture
and a lifetime of protection.
nearby location session $245
Have a location in mind for your portrait? We’d love to see it. If not, let us help you choose from
our favorite mountain, canyon, or lakeside locations.
There is no reason to go anywhere else for your
framing needs. We carry dozens of frame mouldings,
carefully curated to suit our portraiture.
Shown 30x45 wrapped canvas print ($1900)

seamless familycomposites
The Busath Seamless Portrait is built for large families, even when you are not all in
town at the same time. We photograph families one at a time, and later,
artfully arrange them into a single grouping.
The framed and finished portrait (at least 60 inches long) makes a stunning
conversation piece and shows your family how important they are to you.
• Missing persons can be added later
• Calm, short sessions for best expressions
• Each person can be posed in a flattering way
• Closer view provides a more intimate feeling
• Superior lighting and depth

the eight-year-old tradition
The long-standing family tradition of eight-yearold
baptism portraits is perhaps best
appreciated by future generations.
As portrait makers, we find the age of eight
a time when children can express their
individualism, when their future personalities
really begin to show in portraits.
