A Guide to Choosing a Photographer

All poets have access to the same words. All painters can buy the same paint. All composers use the same notes. And anyone with enough money can buy a nice camera. Yet some people stand out as true artists. They are the ones steeped with experience, education and passion for their craft.

Choosing a photographer is about investing in visual artistry. A photographer's vision and creativity are paramount to receiving portraiture that truly captures the essence of your families spirit.

Michael Thresher is the portrait artist at River Street Photography. With his wife Mary, they have built a reputation in central Washington for creating beautiful portraiture for hundreds of families, and have worked from their studio in Cashmere since 1990. You can read more about their history on the About Us page of this web site.

Fine portraiture does not happen accidentally. The first step, before any other decisions are made, is a no-cost, no-obligation consultation with Michael at the River Street studio. You will see samples of the various types of artwork we create, chat about your family, and design a unique vision for your portraits. We will also be able to give you a ballpark estimate of what your investment might be. At the end, you will be able to make an educated decision whether or not to commission Michael to create your portraiture.

We are dedicated to thrill you with your portraits and deliver value far beyond your expectations. To "thrill" you - that's a convicting statement! Not many studios have the depth to make such a guarantee. But we know that you will enjoy your portraits for a lifetime and deserve the best work we can do!

You really do get what you pay for, so call us and let Michael and the River Street Photography team create something wonderful for you!
