A window will pop up, allowing you to select from a wide variety of print sizes, as well as other items.

Q: Can you give me more information about the prints you offer?
A: Certainly. We use a professional lab for our printing. They produce everything from wallet sized prints to 10x10 custom hard cover books to wall clings. This lab specializes in providing high quality print products for photographers. They print on Kodak professional grade paper with an archival rating of 100 years in a normal home display environment.
Q: Can I bring a friend with me to my photo session?
A: Of course, that’s not a problem. And, it’s even required if you’re a minor. We fully understand that you may be a little nervous about your photo session with us, that’s certainly understandable. Be aware that there will usually be 2-3 people in attendance at a photo session, not including yourself. Our creative consultant, and our photographer are always present. This is NOT an unprofessional, uncomfortable one on one situation.
Q: How do you keep your prices so low?
A: There are several things we do to keep our prices under control.
Our biggest cost savings is that we operate out of our house. We don't have the overhead of an expensive commercial location. We have looked at investing in a commercial location, but have decided against it for now. We have finally completed the transformation of our garage into our expanded photography studio. It give us MUCH more room to work with, and we're excited about the possibilities.
