Specializing in Your Memories
Few photographers have our professional resources and youthful creativity to capture your one of a kind photographs. We realize that you are a unique individual and we want to capture this in your photographs. For this reason, if you have any special requests, we want to know.

backgrounds
We have a wide variety of backgrounds to create wonderful portraits with whatever props or clothing you bring in at the time of your sitting. Whatever you're interested in (sports, cars, etc.), we will be able to accomidate you with our wide array of backgrounds.

outdoor photographs
We have several different locations in which we can photograph in our 14 acre outdoor studio. Settings include a large pond, waterfall, barn, and a multitude of flowers. We have the creative ability to make our studio a fun place to be photographed.

consultation
Available upon request to discuss backgrounds, props, clothing, or any special requests you may have. This is not required but makes the actual sitting day a much more fun and relaxed day.

about your previews
Previews are what we call proofs. These prints are what you will choose your finished portraits from. Previews are not retouched and are for viewing expression and pose only. Previews having variations in color or appearing light or dark will not affect your finished portraits. Preview prints are studio property, and if not returned, they will be billed at finished portrait prices. These prints may be purchased with an order of finished portraits, and are sold as they appear.

financial arrangement
Your sitting fee is due at the time of your sitting. A $100 deposit is due when you pick up your previews. This deposit is applied to your order. 50% of your order balance is due when your order is placed, and the final half is due when your order is ready for delivery.

how long
Previews take 5 to 7 days from your sitting date. Allow approximately four weeks for delivery of finished portraits.

yearbook requirements
One yearbook picture, black and white or color, will be furnished free of charge. Any additional pictures may be ordered at $3.00 each.

Clothing Tips

eyeglasses
Glass glare on some lenses is nearly impossible to avoid, so please bring along a empty pair of frames similar to your own. This will avoid any extra charges to remove glass glare. Many optometrists will lend you a pair of empty frames at no charge.

clothing suggestions
We suggest you bring distinctively different clothing styles. When you bring a combination of formal, casual, fun, and outdoor clothing styles, we can provide you with more variety in your proof book. For traditional studio portraits, wear medium to dark tones. Earth tones work well also. For outdoor casuals, medium tones are good and solid colors or subtle patterns are best.

sun exposure
We suggest that you avoid the sun right before your senior portraits. Tan lines and burnt skin do not photograph well. If you are burnt you may choose to reschedule your appointment, but be aware the later your pictures are taken into the year, the longer it takes to get your final order back.

what you should bring
Here's where the fun really starts. Part of what makes our photography better is that we work really hard to bring out the many sides of your personality. Bring your musical instrument, letter jacket, even your pet — whatever is important to you. Anything you come up with, we'll be happy to include in your portraits.
