WHAT ARE YOUR HOURS?
Our office is open between 8am and 4pm Monday through Friday.
We schedule photo sessions on Monday - Friday. For weekends, we do schedule sessions on a case-by-case basis based on our availability.
CAN FOLKS WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT JUST STOP BY AND GET PHOTOGRAPHED?
We have created an environment that allows us to give each client our full attention. If you wish to speak with us about our products and services, please contact us to make an appointment.
DO YOU DO WEDDINGS?
Yes.
HOW MUCH DOES YOUR PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY COST?
From the calls we receive at the studio we know that price is one of the top considerations folks have when choosing a photographer but not usually the only one. We believe that choosing a portrait photographer solely based on the cost may lead to disappointment.
Our prices are based on a number of set factors like providing a gorgeous brick and mortar location that people can feel great walking into, highly qualified & friendly staff and a one-of-a-kind experience.
Come in for a complimentary planning session and we'll take that opportunity to show you how a professional photography studio can knock it out of the park.
WHAT’S THE FIRST STEP?
Well, if you’ve already seen our portfolio, the only thing left to do is contact us and set up a Planning Session.
WHAT IS A PORTRAIT PLANNING SESSION?
With each new client, we are building a relationship. It is important to us that our photography studio is a perfect match for your aesthetic style and personality. By meeting, we are better able to tailor your session to your wishes, and exceed your expectations. At this appointment, you’ll learn about all the unique services we offer and see a slide presentation geared towards photography that interests you.
HOW DO I SCHEDULE A SESSION?
Sessions are scheduled during or after your portrait planning appointment. To start the process go to our book a session page.
HOW LONG DOES THE PHOTO SESSION LAST?
Our sessions typically last between 30 mins to 2 hours. If you are late, please know that it will shorten your session time accordingly.
HOW DO I PREPARE MY CHILD FOR THE SESSION?
Make sure your child is fed, well rested and ready to have a good time. It’s a good idea to tell small children they are going to “play” at the studio. We want them to feel comfortable and at ease in the space and with the folks behind the camera.
WHAT DO OUR PHOTOGRAPHERS EXPECT FROM THE PARENTS DURING THE SESSION?
We prefer to work as a team. You know your child better than we do. As you prepare for your portrait photography session, notice what you do or say that garners great reactions. Hug and kiss your kids, laugh out loud, and strike a festive mood. We’ll ask you to look at the camera when the timing is right, but for the most part ignore the camera.
WE HAVE SOME IDEAS OF OUR OWN. CAN WE TRY THEM?
You bet! Come prepared with any props your idea may require, and let us know what you’re thinking. We are always up for trying new things. Think of your kids favorite toys, special books, or bring fresh flowers for your photo studio session. These could be valuable in making children feel comfortable, and the photography experience personal.r
WHO IS WELCOME AT THE SESSIONS?
Many families prefer the sessions to focus on immediate family. But aunts, uncles, and grandparents can be a wonderful addition to your family’s photography appointment, and make great helpers for small children during the session. If there will be six or more in attendance, please let us know beforehand so that we can accommodate everyone.
DO YOU EVER SCHEDULE EVENING ORDER APPOINTMENTS?
Yes we do! By appointment. However, we do encourage you to please factor in traffic and travel time. If you are running 10-15 minutes late, please call to let us know. If you will be later than that we may need to reschedule.
WE NEED TO RESCHEDULE, WHAT’S YOUR POLICY?
If for any reason you are unable to make your scheduled appointments please call us at 0817 017 9552 to reschedule with 48 hours advance notice to avoid a rescheduling fee.
HOW SHOULD WE DRESS FOR OUR FAMILY PORTRAIT?
With family photography we recommend that you choose simple, textured apparel that reflect your personality. Choose clothes that are flattering to your figure. Avoid clothes with strong patterns, logos or high-contrast stripes. We love a bit of pattern sprinkled in among your family's clothes.
CAN WE CHANGE CLOTHES DURING THE PHOTO SESSION?
Yes. This depends on the package you choose.
SHOULD I GO TO A STYLIST?
You are welcome to see a professional stylist before the session, but please be assured you are comfortable with the results. We will not do retakes for bad hair days.
I WEAR GLASSES, DO I NEED TO REMOVE THEM FOR PHOTOS?
We are most successful minimizing eye glass glare for sessions that take place inside our photo studio. Avoid wearing TRANSITION lenses to your photo shoot. The lighting will turn them into sunglasses. If you wear glasses outdoors, there is often reflections which require complex retouch charges to fix. If you are very partial to your glasses, you may want to consider having your optician remove the lenses before your session or lend you a pair of frames without lenses in them.
