To schedule a studio session, we ask that you call in advance or visit our studio. We do not take walk-in appointments due to customer preference of private studio sessions and personalized attention. A standard session fee is $50, for up to 5 family members; each additional person is $10.
Your photographer will assist in helping you choose a unique look in outfit and style; we have various backgrounds to choose from to match your different outfits. During your session, our photographers will interact with your children for a fun time of bubbles, puppets, stories, and balloons. Our photographers will attempt to build a bond with your kids in order to get their true expressions.
Your sessions are never rushed. We will capture many different natural poses including close ups, seated, full lengths, togethers and separates of your children interacting with photographer and one another. Best of all, your children will not even know that their portraits are being captured! If for some reason, your kids are having a tough day and we cannot capture their pictures, we will reschedule your session at no charge.

Tips for a Great Session:
- Choose a time for your sitting when your child is most happy.
- Plan around nap and meal times.
- Arrive 10 minutes early to get your child acquainted with the studio and your photographer.
- Bring a few different outfits to the shoot; you may include variety such as casual, formal, and creative.
- Simple, neutral colors tend to work best for color portraits and textured patterns work great for black and white portraits.
- Bring meaningful props to give your portrait a personal touch ie. favorite stuffed animal, doll, blanket, etc.
To schedule an off-site session, we recommend you call well in advance of your actual event. An off-site session is $125 for the first hour and $75 each additional hour. An up-front deposit is required at time of scheduling. Off-Site sessions allow US to bring the studio to YOU. We can bring our backgrounds and/or special lighting equipment to the event. Travel and equipment fee may be applicable.

Like your studio session, your viewing session is never rushed. After your photo session, we set aside another hour to have you sit down with your photographer in person to view your images and choose your favorites. There is no obligation to buy any pictures if you don’t like what you see.
Your photographers will review ALL the images from your session on screen and help you customize your order to the last detail. We do not limit the number of poses you can order. We will show you Black & White images, sepia images, cropped images in a certain style, and help create a specialty keepsake collage for your wall. With the photographer helping you to choose artwork with professional opinion, you can place your final order.
Your images will be available to order within 30 days from your session date. After 30 days, your images will be archived for one year. Access to your images after 30 days will incur a $20 archival fee.
On-line viewing is available after placing your initial order. However, with on-line viewing, you are not able to customize your order as in studio (i.e. cropping, touch-ups). This option is great for out of town relatives!
