Greetings, art lovers!
Please meet and greet local photographer Bill LaPorte (left) and welcome him to the Black Iris family.
Bill has worked here at Black Iris for nearly a year as my assistant framer. If you've had framing done in the last year, it was probably Bill who cut your mats and built your frame. He's very detail oriented and exact in his work, and I couldn't be happier to introduce you to one of his other passions--photography. Here is what Bill has to say about his camera work:
"I take pictures. I am always searching, questing, for the perfect photograph, and I hope I never get it. Once I do, I’ll be done, and I always want to be taking and sharing good photos.
Having lived in God's County all my life, I strive to capture the beautiful wildlife, flowers, and landscapes of northern Wisconsin and beyond. We live in heaven on earth, and that’s all anyone can ask for. Please visit my Web site for images of Zion National Park, Glacier National Park, the Rockys, the Smokeys, and more.
I also book photography sessions for individual portraits, family portraits, weddings, corporate photography, pet photos, and of course senior pictures for graduates of high school and college. If you need a professional photograph for personal or business use, please call me.
One of my specialties is using PhotoShop CS3 to restore vintage photographs. If you need an heirloom photo repaired or retouched, please let me know. I can reproduce your image, good as new, in several sizes on your choice of cotton, matte, glossy, or plain paper and even canvas.
I look forward to hearing from you. To learn more, please visit my Web site at http://www.billlaportephotography.com/ or call 715-520-2203.
Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Bill LaPorte, Spooner, WI
