I want some family photos as well as single shots of my baby is that alright?
All ages are welcome. We have props and concepts for everybody. I saw some photos online I really like, can you do a similar style? Absolutely, we pride ourselves on being flexible to a wide array of styles and effects. If you have seen a photo in a magazine or online and you would like us to do a similar style for you, please feel free to bring in a copy on your shoot. If the photo requires additional props we don’t have listed, please ask us about it in advance and we will do our best to prepare for it. I have 2 dogs I would like to have photos of them with the family. Do you allow pets? Bring them in! We love animals and even have a few cats of our own. We also do "fur baby" shoots as well. Please give us notice, so we can lock the cats away. Your prices seem much lower than other photographers. whats the catch? There is NO catch! By running our studio out of our home, we have the ability to charge less for what we do. We also understand as parents, how frustrating it can be to try and get amazing and unique photos for a reasonable price. Although some companies may offer a lower priced “sitting fee” or a cheap package, usually there is a catch such as limited poses, and usually the cost of ordering the prints after the fact can add up FAST. I have a few different outfits I want to see my daughter in, can I have outfit changes? Definitely. We like to give you a mixture of photos and that includes different outfits. There is no rush on the shoot and our overall goal is to give you a nice mix of poses and styles. However, usually I only reccomend 2 outfits, as most kids will just begin to get grumpy with too many outfit changes. How far in advance do I need to book? We do our best to work you in to your busy schedule. Depending on the time of year, we can usually book you in a few days in advance. Please keep in mind that if you are planning on a weekend shoot, they tend to book up several weeks in advance. * Late October thru Mid December does get extremely busy, so we reccomend booking early for Christmas What are your hours of operation? We work around the clock. We know how fulltime work can limit family availability so we book 7 days a week 10am – 7pm (If you require a shoot at a unique time, please call us and we can do our best to work with your schedule). How long does the photo shoot take? We don’t have a set time for shoots. Usually they take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour (sometimes a little longer). We know kids can get grouchy or hungry and there is no rush to ensure we get great pics. Take time for a feeding, or a change without the worry of your time being up. I am 4 months pregnant and want maternity photos, when is a good time to get them done? That all depends on how full you would like the belly to be. We have done some as early as 6 months through to the due date. For the best belly shots, we suggest the last month of pregnancy, but not too late, you never know when baby will come! What sort of payment do you take? Since we are a home based studio we take cash or cheque the day of the shoot. How many people can I have in one shoot? There is no limit. We have had multiple generations in and extended families. These sessions do tend to take a bit longer. If you have multiple families with kids ( brothers family, sisters family and grandparents), we usually recommend getting a Larger photo package, or setting up a special package. This way you get to take advantage of the unlimited props and poses! What props and costumes do you have? See our props page for updates How does the whole process work? When you come in for your shoot, we talk about what styles of photos you like (black and white) color, high contrast, artsy etc. After viewing some styles, we start with the shoot. During the shoot we take over 100 photos as babies facial expressions can change dramatically from one shot to the next. After the shoot is complete Rosie reviews all the photos and chooses the best poses to touch up. Each photo is touched up for best color and we remove any flaws (a face scratch or acne). Once the photos are complete, we mail you the package or you are welcome to pick it up when it is ready. Most packages take about 2 weeks, however if you need it sooner please let us know and we will do our best to get it to you sooner. Also, for people requiring a 48-hour turn around there is an additional $20 charge. What if there are more than 36 “GREAT” photos If we are torn between a few extra great shots, usually we just toss them in as well at no charge. There are no hidden add on sales and no print ordering, so we always give you the best of the bunch. How do I get them printed? Check out our Printing Page for tips and tricks I have gathered over the years. |
