The pfister portrait

World Renowned Portrait Photography

For over three decades, I’ve dedicated my life to the art of portrait photography. Over the years, my work has been recognized and celebrated internationally, earning awards and publications, but my true focus has always been much closer to the lens: the human connection.

I’m driven by a commitment to pushing creative boundaries and an unwavering dedication to this craft. But more than anything, I care deeply about the connection I build with the people I photograph.

A Pfister Portrait isn’t just a photoshoot—it is an intimate collaboration between the two of us to tell your story. We connect deeply through the creative process, following each other’s lead to uncover the authentic beauty and unique personality within you.

We can bring your environment into the frame, or keep things close, quiet, and deeply personal.
We can journal a specific chapter of your life.
We can reveal a bit of your wonder or play completely off your personality.
We can unveil a sense of mystery while keeping so much more safely hidden away.

That is the true allure of a Pfister Portrait. It can be all of these things, or something entirely unknown until we embark on the journey of creating it together.

A few days after our session, I'll send you access to a private gallery where you can select your favorite images for me to retouch and deliver. Every session includes a curated set of professionally retouched, ready-to-share digital images. Once your final edits are complete, we can also collaborate on commissioning custom, one-of-a-kind Heirloom Prints and handmade art pieces.

Take a look at the session options below to begin your process, or explore the gallery to find some inspiration. I can't wait to see what we create together.

The Wonder Journal

A collection of fleeting photographs and films created around the idea of not only seeing and remembering a fragment of time, but feeling it deeply within us. These beautifully created presentations act as a time capsule, to be opened when we need reminded of how precious your life is. We don’t realize how dear this time is until reflected upon years later. This isn’t a keepsake or just a product being sold. This is your family heirloom. Pass it on.

Add this onto any of the collections above, starting at only $500

Not your average print

All prints are custom printed and enhanced by Print Master Parker J Pfister himself. These are not typical photo prints. Our pieces are masterfully created on museum quality papers, many handmade, using printing and embellishment techniques not found anywhere else.

TESTIMONIALS

“Parker captured the essence of Finley, his whole personality and then some. What a gift to have this moment in time forever. There is no other return like this kind of investment. For anyone on the fence, make the time. Spend the money. You will not regret it.”

“These are so exquisite. They get me right in the parental heart and gut and are the type of heirloom images Trumies grandchildren will still be flipping out over like I am today. Thank you for this unique experience, we loved it. And needless to say we love these and all the images you’ve taken of us over the years.”

“Parker makes you feel right at home when you’re in front of his lens. With his captivating energy and comical ways he made our 6 month old feel comfortable allowing beautiful pictures to be made. Extremely grateful for his work and the way he captured my family. .”
