Hi Friends,

Today I thought I would share a little bit about my process here at the Studio and how that makes me different. I hope that you feel my heart, see my passion and love the options that my studio provides for you my fabulous clients and potential clients.
The studio is indeed a Custom Photography Studio, I offer both studio sessions as well as location sessions, however, each and everyone of them is customized for YOU the client. I am not a huge retailer that markets to the masses and provides sheets of images that many times are printed on site. If that is what you are looking for than my studio may not be the right fit for you. As a custom photographer I work with each individual client to set up the session date, time & location that is best for each client to yield the type of imagery that you are looking for. I like to learn a little bit about you and/or your family, what your goal is for your session, for your images, what your budget is and to help you with clothing and so much more to insure success at each and every photo session that I offer. It's truly all about YOU the client. I have the passion, the vision, the experience, the art and I put all that together to work with you to create a one of kind session. Plus I like to kick back and have some fun, who want's a stuffy rushed session that no one actually wants to be at anyways?! Yuck! No... you should be relaxed, laid back and know that our time together is just for you... NO rushing and fussing.
After your photo session I do have you come back into the studio the following week where I host your ordering appointment. Again this appointment is just for YOU, there is not a line of clients waiting for the next appointment, so there is no rushing. This is an investment, not only of your time and all the preparing for the session itself, but now you need time to plan out exactly how you want to display your favorite images. I offer amazing Canvas Wall Galleries that are simply breath taking and will totally delight you when you have the opportunity to see the ones you love looking back at you each day from your walls. Oh the smiles that will cross your face :) All products that I offer are custom designed and I love the fact that my clients get to come into the studio and watch a multi media presentation of all their images (and I get to hear the oooo's and ahhh's and see the happy tears) and then you the client get to see, feel and touch actual products and then I help you pick just the right products for your home and for your families. It's a wonderful complete process start to finish. I do not ever want my clients to be left with only a disc of images and then have to figure out where to take those digital files and what to actually print from those digital files and left to wonder what the final product will look like, that is actually passing part of my job onto you the client and that just is not what I choose to do. It's the full service that I provide to my clients that they love and appreciate, that is totally something that I believe sets me and the studio apart and makes me unique.
So if you are looking for a complete total professional service for your maternity, newborn, children, family, high school senior photo session and you love my work, then I just might be the right photographer for you! I do offer a variety of amazing products that are sure to delight you and last a lifetime.
I truly believe with our professional lab PRINTING the difference is clear...You may be thinking yeah all that is cool, neat and sounds wonderful but... how are your prints any different than the local place down the road? Below are a few of the differences when printing at our professional lab versus the lcoal one hour lab...
The Process...Your photos will be created with printers that expose light sensitive paper that is then run through a chemical process. The results are true photographs, not inkjet prints. A professional lab carefully monitors this process to ensure that the photos replicate the digital negative.
One hour photo labs are designed for speed, not consistency, and the results are only as good as the person operating it at the time.
The Materials...Your photos will be printed on high quality paper. This paper has an increased color gamut, excellent skin reproduction, sharpness, and brilliant image quality. As added protection all of our images are mounted to ensure a smooth framing process and also to keep your photos bend and wrinkle free. Mounting the photos also prevents separation and sagging that sometimes occurs to images when they are framed. We then apply a Lustre and Linen finish to protect against fingerprints and slight scratches.
One hour photo labs use near consumer level paper that doesn't hold color as well, and lower grade chemicals to keep their operating cost down.
The Oversight...Before we send your files to our lab, we carefully overlook each one to ensure that it will print well, and that cropping will occur appropriately for sizes that are not the aspect ratio of the original photo.
Photos that are done by the one hour lab are printed just as they are with no regards for cropping. Exposure (the lightness of the picture) is based on an average from the batch and not per photo.
Supporting local business...By ordering prints through your professional photographer not only ensures that you end up with a high quality product, but it also helps support me your photographer and my local small business. Photography is a very expensive profession and we're not able to cover all of our costs (equipment, insuarnce, time - before, during , and after the session, etc) entirely with session fee's. Ordering prints provides additional income for us to run a business, and in exchange I am happy to provide you with TOP NOTCH photographs that look exceptional and will last a lifetime.
Love & Laughter -
Deanna
