The cost of a portrait is often referred to as an investment. A good piece of art or a family heirloom will become more and more valuable to their owners over time. In instances where people have had to select a few treasured items from all of what they own, photographs are the most common possessions chosen, and with good reason. They are not only difficult or impossible to replace, but more importantly they have the most intrinsic value to their owners.
A Johan Pretorius original is meant to endure when our other material property has been discarded and forgotten, and to be a treasured investment that will be passed down to your children, and to their children.

When you have your family portraits done by a professional photographer, remember, you are paying for more than just someone to snap off a few photographs. A professional photographer brings with them good quality photographic equipment and the expertise to operate it efficiently and effectively.
They are the artist and their camera is the brush. However, their expertise does not stop there. They will also have an eye for proper lighting, color coordination and will have the presence of mind to ensure everyone has their eyes open and there are no undesired elements are in the photograph. You can choose to attempt doing your family portraits yourself, but if you were to place them next to images a professional photographer would have taken, I am certain you would see a significant difference.
