Our Approach
to Fine Portraiture
WE BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND
We believe that a portrait of your family is the most valuable art you will ever own.
1 Design Consultation & Wardrobe Collaboration
Sit down with Jeremy and share your hopes for your new portrait. This portrait will be an important piece of your family's story, and he wants to learn why this time is important to your family and discover how he can best capture the emotion and story of this season. You will be inspired by the wonderful decor and portraits adorning the walls in the gallery. He will take care of the details and help you maneuver the bigger ones. Clothing selections and hair, your home interiors and the wall on which your portrait will live will all be discussed. Designing the look and feel of your portraits before your sitting will ensure everything will go smoothly and the end result will be a treasured family heirloom.
2 Signature Portrait Sitting
You and your family will relax with a delightful & worry-free portrait experience. Most portraits are created at our Portrait Gallery in Frisco, Texas. Portraits may be created on location with an additional commitment. Even the boys will leave with smiles on their faces!
3 Artist Guided Selection
Enjoy a guided presentation of the images we have created for you. You will have the opportunity to determine which images best capture the perfect emotion, pose, expression, and story. J.Ridout creates both paintings and fine art photographic portraits on canvas. He will work with you to determine the perfect composition, size and finish of your portrait.
4 Custom Framing
Your portrait isn’t truly finished until it has a frame that enhances its colors and tones. J.Ridout offers many different styles of frames and he will happily guide you to select the design that is perfect for your portrait and your home. Once completed, you will have the perfect frame that was made specifically for your portrait, compliments your home and enhances your portrait to its fullest beauty.
5 Delivery & Installation
In nearly every case, when a portrait is framed by J.Ridout, he will deliver and install your portrait(s) in your home. Our clients love this white glove service because they don’t have to worry about hardware, ladders or levels, and the task doesn't risk being put off until you get around to it. (Arrangements for installation can easily be made for clients that live too far away.)
"A FAMILY IS NOT AN IMPORTANT THING, IT'S EVERYTHING"
Michael J. Fox
Your family is worth it!
We started out looking to do a family portrait with our oldest heading off to college. I was fortunate to come across Jeremy and learned about his different approach, which is so much more. In a time when there is little focus on service and quality, he does the little things to lead to a memorable result. From interviews to personalize the experience through attire and site selection, it is all very professional. He starts with the camera and finishes with a brush, creating a true work of art that we proudly display in our home. Instead of a typical family portrait, we now have a family heirloom. I would highly recommend J.Ridout to anyone looking to capture that special moment or time in their lives.
Meet Jeremy
I'm Jeremy Ridout. Father of a 12th grader and a 6th grader, husband of 22 years and Portrait Artist.
I am well aware just how busy life can be. I understand that portrait sittings can sometimes be a hassle and stressful. But your children are changing so fast! You don't want to forget all their precious details – it is worth it.
I work quickly and make portrait sittings stress free and fun for everyone (even the grumpiest dads). I’m here to help you every step of the way.
This is important: These portraits will tell your children that no matter how busy and hectic our lives, no matter what happens, they belong to a family that loves them, and they are always welcome. Don't look back in a few years and realize you've missed it.
