Why Us

top 10 reasons to choose us

There are a lot of choices out there for photography these days, including using the phone you carry around with you. Why choose us? Here are 10 reasons…

1. We ‘Get’ Babies and Children. We know what makes them tick. We speak their language and we love them (we think they know that). Understanding children in general helps to make things go more smoothly during a session. Understanding your own child and capturing what makes her special is where the magic happens and it’s how we create photos that speak to your heart. So we spend lots of time with your child. We’ve also created a fun place to be so your child will be comfortable enough to be herself, show us all what a charmer she is, and want to happily come back to visit us again.

2. We ‘Get’ YOU. We’re very good at listening to our clients and we’ve been going it for a long time. We also know what we personally appreciate when we do business with someone. That’s all given us a real good idea what you might want from your experience with us. So we do a lot of small things like provide toys for the kids and a snack bar for everyone. We keep diapers and wipes on hand and have a changing and nursing area just for you. We reschedule your appointment with no fuss if Suzy comes down with a fever or Johnny skins his nose in the parking lot. The big things? We really pay attention every single step of the way to understand what you want. And then we deliver it. Or we make it right. Every time (see next point).

3. 100% No Risk Guarantee. Love what we do or you’ll get every penny back. We even guarantee your session – have a great session and get the results you want or we will re-shoot. Returning to re-shoot a session or portion of it is nobody’s first choice but it sure takes the pressure off when your little pumpkin just isn’t himself and can’t quite muster the energy to be his usual smiley self.

4. One-Of-A-Kind Portraits. Everyone wants great, natural expressions. We get that. And we know how to work with you and your children to make that happen. We’re all about natural posing, great lighting and a final product that will knock your socks off.

5. Lots of Great Portrait Products. We have everything from parent brag books for your purse, mini collages for your desk, photo mugs for grandpa, mini albums for your side table, fine art coffee table books,  gallery-wrapped canvases for your walls – and lots more! We’ve spent years cultivating relationships with the finest of vendors, so you don’t have to. Check out our What we Offer Guide.

6. We’re Experts. And humbly so, because in this business you never really stop learning. But, with over 14 years’ experience we won’t be practicing on you. You want to entrust an important milestone like a new baby (who’s not a new baby for very long) or a family picture that took you months to organize in the hands of someone like us – someone with the experience & knowledge to deliver what you want. If you want to read a little further here are a couple of free guides that we wrote to help you choose a photographer: Choosing a Baby Photographer and Choosing a Children’s Photographer.

7. We Don’t Waste Your Time. We are all busy people. We juggle the balance of family with running a full time business. We understand that you are doing your own juggling act. Family, work, fun time, etc. You don’t have a lot of free time to dedicate hours of your life preserving your family history. We are experts in managing the portrait sessions to get what you need within a reasonable time. We even find dads telling us “wow, that wasn’t as painful as I was thinking!” Everyone has a short attention span … we promise not to fatigue you by running around in a park for countless hours hoping to get one good portrait. We guarantee, yes guarantee, that we will deliver to you a one of a kind, unforgettable portrait and get you back to your busy life before you even know it!

8. Payment Plans. We know you are going to love everything you see, but don’t necessarily have the funds to pay for it all at one time. No worries! We offer interest free and hassle free payment plan options for many of our packages! Take your portraits home now and pay for them according to the agreed upon plan. Pretty cool eh? We also take Visa, Mastercard, Discover, personal checks, digital checks and money orders.

9. One-On-One Sales and Design Appointments. Most of you are not portrait or design experts. That’s why you are hiring us! When you come back for your Sales Appointment, we want you to also think of it as a Design Appointment. After watching your slideshow of images, Dom will personally walk you through the process of choosing what products are best for YOUR home and YOUR family. We can even show you what your finished piece will look like on your wall in our really cool software on the really big screen.

10. And finally…my favorite…We Deliver Finished Portraits! You’ve heard the saying, “you wouldn’t buy the car without the tires” … so why would you buy the portrait without a way to display it? Remember our statements above about busy lives? We have designed our product catalog to offer complete products. For example, all wall portraits include your choice of frame, we do the framing and it is delivered to you ready to hang. We even include the hanging hardware. In your mind, you may think you will get around to designing your own albums, print your own prints, go to the frame store to choose a frame, etc. When exactly between baseball practice, dance class, doctors appointments, homework and birthday parties will you find time to do this? Relax! We do that for you while you are having fun enjoying life with your family! In 3-4 weeks from the time you place the order, you will have beautiful artwork to show off in your home! DONE. Easy-peasy … we do all the hard work for you.
