Beautiful images hold the key to so many of our deepest emotions. With just a fleeting glance, they can turn our lips to a brilliant smile, shed a tear from our eyes or overwhelm us in awe. As if by magic, they empower us to do what no one else can do - to stop time, even if only for a moment.

Capturing the mystical force of a magnificent image has long been my passion. This quest is my inspiration for creating truly classic portraits... those destined to stir the emotions for many years to come. In composing a fine portrait, what we ultimately present for our clients is a window to days past, a chance to revisit a cherished time in life shared with those held closest to the heart. As the portraits we design are handed to the next generation, they grow into precious heirlooms, gently preserving the story of a family's heritage.

Our experience has taught us, though, that achieving a truly timeless image requires careful planning. This is why we put so much effort into consulting before the session, and in helping to make selections afterward. At Sebastian's, we want the creation of your portrait to be an experience that will become as dear to you as the very portrait itself.

about our studio...

In 1991, thirteen years after opening a very small storefront, we were proud to break ground on our "dream studio" in the heart of Warwick, one of Rhode Island's largest cities. Aside from its convenient location just off I-95 at Exit 10, our studio offers ample parking coupled with a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere.

While contemporary in design, both our gallery and consultation suite enjoy traditional accents, boasting a refreshing union of style. We are pleased to offer the option of our versatility indoor studio or the lush, natural setting of our gardens as a backdrop for your portrait.

We welcome you to visit us virtually by exploring our web site, and we look forward to the opportunity to meet you in person.
