With dozens of photographers in the yellow pages, and all the brochures that come through the mail, and pages-upon-pages of websites on the 'Net -- how do you choose the right photographer when...

g  You want beautiful portraits that bring
out the unique personalities of your family

g  You want to feel you're getting the best
value for your portraiture investment

g  You want images you'll be proud to
show your friends and family

g  You DON'T want to pay an arm and a leg
for them

Sounds kind of overwhelming doesn't it? And it can be, especially when the ads and websites look so much alike it's hard to tell who's a great photographer and who might be...well...less than stellar.

So Do You Just Toss a Dart at the Phone Book
and Hope for the Best?

Fortunately, no, that won't be necessary. Because this site will answer all your burning questions about professional photography, and arm you with the facts you need to make a comfortable, informed decision. That way you can be sure to get the very best value from your portrait investment.

Hi, I'm Ward Thurman, owner of Anchor Photography.  And, yes, there are better ways to find a professional photographer who will capture your portraits the way you envision them.

I've been helping families capture the extraordinary events, and special moments in their lives for over five years. And I've developed a suite of FREE reports, articles, and guides that will help you make the most of your portrait experiences -- whomever you choose to work with.

Whether you're looking for a fun family portrait, a sweet newborn photo, a sensitive relationship image, a dramatic wedding memorial, a contemporary senior  collection or snappy artwork for commercial and editorial purposes...spend just 10 minutes browsing this site, and you'll have the answers you need to make the best choice for you.

Regardless of the Photographer You Choose,
These are Things You Need to Know

In this site I'll be handing you the keys that unlock the secrets behind professional photography. Keys that will give you portraits you, your family and your friends will rave about. Inside stuff that most photographers aren't willing to talk about. Why? The sad truth is, the vast majority of photographers today simply don't know about it. And if they do, they're afraid that if they tell you, you'll take it to the competition.

But that's where I'm different than many other photographers you'll meet. I believe what the Good Book says -- that it's more blessed to give than to receive. And I want to  help families get wonderful portraits they'll treasure for years to come. It's that simple.

So whether or not you have me create your portraits, I still want you benefit from the resources I've put together here. They truly are the keys to getting FANTASTIC portraits!

Just follow the links below to view the type of photography you're looking for.
