Portraits can help you remember, and be remembered by, all the special people in your life. Today, you can commission your own portrait in a style that is uniquely yours!

Formal or informal. In our studio or your home. An outside setting or unusual backdrop. We can recommend a myriad of settings, poses and styles that reflect your personality and individuality. We'll also work with you to select the proper clothing, makeup, hair styles, size of the portrait and decor ideas that suit your lifestyle and tastes. Portraits are available in a variety of media (photograph, pastels, IRIS print, whatever) so you can find something to suit your particular situation.

Call today for an appointment to discuss your portrait needs.

About the Artists:

At Mindpictures the aim is to create a portrait that says more about the people in that portrait than just what they look like. Mike and Nancy Maynard are always looking for ways to show personality and humanity in their portraiture.

Mike has had a love for photography since he bought his first camera in 1970. Trained at the University of North Dakota and at the New England Institute of Professional Photography, he started Portrait Specialties, now MindPictures, in 1978. He has worked with creative darkroom techniques for many years, and, since the introduction of computer imaging, continues to find new ways to say just the right thing in a portrait. He is a past president of the Vermont Professional Photographers and was on the board of the Professional Photographers Association of New England. He received the National Award in 1992, the VPP Presidents Award in 1994 and the degree of Photographic Craftsman in 1995.

Nancy also first got interested in photography in 1970. While a librarian at the University of North Dakota, she met Mike at a camera club, where she won many of the club's monthly competitions. She joined Mike at Portrait Specialties in 1984. She has trained at the New England Institute of Professional Photography, and has studies various media with regional artist, Barbara Bellows. She is also a past president of the Vermont Professional Photographers.

They have had numerous prints hang at state and regional exhibitions.
