North Window Light, for the artistic photographer is truly Devine Light. The soft, brilliant, wrap-around quality of natural light from the northern sky gives your portrait the classic, breathtaking quality reminiscent of museum quality work. This effect simply cannot be achieved with artificial lights.

Our Skylight Window Studio was built specifically to capture the ideal northern light to create portraits destined to become family treasures.
