Children's Portrait Artist

I am absolutely in awe of the images of Lorna Freytag! Lorna has beautifully captured the essence of childhood with storybook like images.

Lorna creates her portraits by fusing together her love for photography, illustration and children's stories. She uses her many ideas, scribbled sketchbooks, digital camera and self taught post-production techniques to bring her ideas to life.

Inspired by old fairytales and magical landscapes, each image is created entirely by Lorna from the first rough sketch to the final detailed retouching. You can pick  an existing background from her collections or have her create something bespoke.

Originally from Scotland, Lorna has worked as a photographer in New York, Dubai, Sydney and London. She is now living in Edinburgh and applies her unique and quirky style to editorial and commercial projects contributing to publications such Junior, Collezioni and Studio Bambini. She has also completed projects for Harrods and several exclusive children’s boutiques. Besides her editorial assignments she accepts portrait commissions in London and abroad and has just  illustrated her first childrens book “Wild Child” (due out early 2012).

What I would give to have known Lorna when my own children were small! Lorna is willing to travel to the US for exclusive group bookings. Check out her images below and her website at:  www.lornas-portraits.com

 

Don't be shy!

Okay friends....I know you're visiting regularly, (thank you!) yet you are all too shy to leave comments. In fact, I have a visitor in Arlington Heights, Illinois and some in other places who visit almost daily, and yet no introduction or hello. Don't be shy, folks...I'm easy to talk with! I would LOVE some feedback or at least to begin some rapport. I am not the type who likes to hear herself talk. It's getting lonely on this blog...let's hear from some of you!

Please think about leaving a comment sometime. Let me know what you like, don't like or what you'd like to see for my next children's wall art design. Make suggestions for other topics you'd like information about. My love and background is interior design...heck I've got two interior design companies! Pick my brain about your next design dilemma...anything at all. Leave some tips of your own...I know each of you has your own creative talents to share.

I'd love to hear from you and to make some new friends out there in cyberspace. Some of my best friends are other artists, retailers and designers whom I have met through this wonderful internet....and there is always room for another friend!
