A good portrait doesn't just show the viewer what the person photographed looked like. A good portrait should also strive to share with the viewer something about the real person in the portrait -- what he or she is like, what they enjoy, and what they look forward to.

For the busy person in need of a professional portrait -- a location photographic session at the busy person's location -- is far more convenient for that person than having to take time away from his or her day to travel to a studio. The location may be anywhere -- a home, an office, or a garden -- i.e., anywhere the person to be photographed feels is appropriate to his or her personality and lifestyle.

A portrait done on location is also more personable and can tell the viewer something about the interests and personality of the one photographed. On location, the subject need not assume fixed poses -- he or she is free to engage in a favorite activity with objects of personal importance to him or her, and with his or her natural habitat as the background. Such familiar activities and surroundings positively affects the subjects' mood as well while being photographed -- resulting in a more flattering portrait.

For seniors, a professional photo session conducted at home is not only convenient but can produce interesting and personable portraits as well.   When it comes to an individual or group portrait that's personable, a professional portrait done on location captures the joys and emotions of the participants espeicially well.
