Ammons Photographic Art – What Is A Portrait?
Just about anyone who can aim a camera can make a picture. It goes without saying that some have the ability to do it better than others. That’s what gives some the ability to be labeled top portrait photographers.

A portrait photographer can reliably create an outstanding portrait of every person they photograph. They can determine in just a few minutes the qualities of that person, and bring them to light in a portrait. They have the ability to create the best, even when the person may seem to not be at his or her best.

Cliff Ammons has been a portrait artist for over 25 years. He has a proven ability to find the heart of each of his clients, and create a portrait that is uniquely their own.

“I want to write a quick note of admiration, appreciation and awe at what you accomplished for my family through heirloom photographs in the year since my son Jake’s birth. When I saw the latest creation, the special coffee table book that you put together of the first year of Jake’s life, I was so awestruck.

It is beautiful. It makes me want to cry when I look at it. I just can’t stop looking at it. Right now, I leave it on the night table beside my bed so I can look at it when I wake up and before I go to sleep. It melts my heart and I have you to thank for the fact that it exists!

I also can’t thank you enough for putting together the plan I purchased. For without it and the regular, quarterly photographic sessions I would be crying right now that I had missed so much of Jake’s first year of life. The baby phase passes so quickly, yet is so busy with attending to the baby’s needs, that I don’t know if I would have remembered to get in for frequent professional photos on my own.

There is not a better photographer and esteemed assistant than Cliff and Margie. The sets you use the patience you show in working with babies and children, your creative ideas, all of the special things you do make the experience of capturing the priceless moments of my growing children even better.

Thanks again for everything.” Andrea Merriman

Remember, a portrait isn’t just a picture of you. A portrait involves the subject and the artist. It’s about the interaction between the two. It takes more than a camera to create a portrait. It takes the expertise of the artist interacting with you or your family.
