Welcome to Gittings

For generations the Gittings studios have been synonymous with exceptional portraiture. Gittings photographers are professionally qualified and the art is practiced with skillful respect and deliberation, striving for images reflecting character, personality and kindly interpretation. Appointments are scheduled through our studios located in the Texas metropolitan areas of Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston. Services include Family Portraiture, Executive Imaging and Special Event Photography. Fees for portrait sessions begin at less than two hundred dollars and resulting portraits have a broad range of presentations and prices. Inquiries are invited and specific services will be detailed and freely quoted.

People who care about people, care about Gittings Portraits. Families need to be photographed regularly, as time touches each countenance: as we change and grow. We need formal, quiet portraits when we are composed and at our very best. Portraits to view with thoughtfulness and introspection, and to warm our hearts. Life is a panorama filled with many entrances and exits…separations and reunions. So there are Gittings Portraits to remember yesterday, and the many faces of love.

A portrait collection of business and civic leaders for an airport display, a corporate board of directors gallery, a grouping of recognition portraits for an insurance company or university or medical center, a presentation gallery of a season's debutantes, a portrait tribute for a social soiree, a personal collection of family portraits for a private home, these challenges of capturing images with an appealing diversification yet complimenting bond are repeatedly met by the talents of Gittings.

Extraordinarily fine portrait completions are available:

Imperial: A handcrafted colour portrait created in the tradition of uncompromising quality. The lightly textured, luster sheen finish is an appropriate choice for intermediate size portraits. Art enhancement is judiciously accomplished to emphasize the distinctive qualities of each portrait for brilliance and dimensionality.

Renaissance: Each portrait begins with a carefully crafted print made to exacting specifications. The finest state-of-the-art materials are aesthetically embellished by skilled artisans and craftsmen. The final treatment permanently bonds the portrait to a fine canvas. A crystal clear lacquer is applied to protect and to enhance the depth of color.

Impression: For a select group of discriminating patrons who wish to own the finest in photographic colour portraiture, Impression is the choice. The unique softness and enduring qualities inherent in an Impression Portrait is drawn from an intricate digital process. Each step of this remarkable treatment is completely dependent upon artistic judgement for proper rendition. There is marvelous softness, depth and richness which create a near third dimension.

Masterpiece: An exquisite free-hand oil painting is drawn from a Gittings portrait, enhanced and completed as a timeless work of art. The exceptional skill of the artist retains the likeness of subjects while extending the kindest interpretation. Each painting requires several weeks for completion and offers for posterity, an heirloom of fine art.
