It's actually easier to say what we don't do than to say what we do. We don't do what the big photo house chains do - liimit you. Since we operate from a home-based studio, none of the rules of the big photo house franchises apply. In a much more personal setting, we are able to cater to your needs. Anything that requires more time is no problem for us - for example, children and pets. Children feel more relaxed in a smaller, quieter setting and pets are always welcome. While we are photographing you, there will never be someone in line behind you waiting for you to finish in a hurry.

We save you money. Since you pay one fee for a complete set of originals, you never have to pay us another dime after the session has ended. Many photo studios will entice you by offering a free sitting. Then you may wind up paying several hundred dollars for just a small number of prints. A standard two hour session with us will provide you with a CD full of images for you to keep forever.

The basic formula for a two hour session:

We take our time to capture your image (usually over 100 photos)
You pay us $250 (U.S.)
We email you a link to an on-line proof page for you to select your favorites (up to 5 images)
We clean up and send you a CD of the images you have selected
We create an on-line web album for you to share with friends and family
..all in less than a week (usually 48 hours)!

The images you select will be meticulously detailed to remove blemishes, etc. So the images you receive will be flawless. We offer a re-take guarantee, so if there is anything wrong with your pictures we will re-correct or re-shoot them for no additional fee. In the words of a famous shampoo manufacturer - "If you don't look good, we don't look good."

We are also able to customize photos upon your request, but this will result in an additional fee based on the amount of work involved at a $60/hour fee (for example, combining favorite features from multiple pictures into one photo... changing the color of a shirt... etc.).

Our Philosophy

We are a service-based operation, which means we are more concerned with the quality of the images than we are the quality of paper they are printed on. You own the digital negatives, so you are empowered to print as many of the photos as many times as you like at any photo lab of your choice, on any variety of lab paper you choose. We do offer high-end printing services, utilizing the finest archival Giclee' process available, on acid-free archival papers, etc. We offer these print services as an added convenience to our customers, but there are many places who can create great prints. We prefer to take the road less traveled and excel at capturing precious moments - something that many other photographers fail to do.
