A likeness is only the beginning.

Wendy’s portraits are created to hold the details that make a person or pet unmistakably their own—the expression, posture, warmth, and quiet character that photographs alone do not always reveal.

From a portrait client

“Wendy has the creative ability to capture the child’s precious spirit.”

Wendy Pond is a gem. She has created deeply personal, heartwarming and irreplaceable portraits of my seven grandchildren over a twenty year span. Each charming portrait is a true family gift that will be cherished and passed along for generations.
