DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY

With the invention of digital photography, new creative opportunities have emerged. Digital cameras allow deeper coverage of each event with a virtually unlimited amount of photographs taken, and great design opportunities. While traditional film photography is still used, it is obvious that the future belongs to digital photography.

Before After
  • Superior Quality: Digital is BETTER than film. The results are amazing. Not only is the quality better than film, the digital format gives us the ability to do better re-touching, and special effects that just are not practical and most times not possible using film.
  • See It Now: You will see your photos just minutes after they are taken. This means you will know that you LOVE your pictures before you leave the studio. If retakes are needed, we do them right then and there. We can see what we are taking at weddings so know that we got the "right shot".
  • More Options: Using digital technology lets us give you more for less. Here are some examples:
  • Special manipulation is easy. We can make a great photo into a one of a kind piece of art.
  • Retouching is totally under our control. We can do as much or as little as needed for your tastes.
  • ANY image can be made into a black and white, brown-tone, or color chrome It is no longer necessary to have a separate and more expensive session .
  • We offer your photo session on CD or DVD with all your photos on it not just what you order. This option is suitable for television viewing or sending over the internet. We offer a wedding album format for the bride and groom with photos set to music.









  • All Digital Means No Proofs

    You may purchase a CD with both high resolution (for printing) and low resolution (for email, etc) within 3 days of your wedding. There is no such thing as proofs or previews. All images are cropped and ready to print. We can also put all of your images on the Internet so friends and family anywhere in the world can view and download them with no copyright infringement issues.

    Session Reservation Charge

    Because of our busy schedule we require that your session fee be paid at the time you schedule your appointment. The appointment will not be put on our calendar before we receive this fee. This amount reserves the studio date and time JUST FOR YOU and pays your session fee. If you wish to re-schedule your appointment please call a day in advance.

    A session fee is the amount charged for creative time spent to make your portraits. The session fee includes one 11x14 gilcee portrait. A gilcee is printed with archival ink on acid free paper. We will take several photographs of each grouping so you will find one you are very happy with. All sessions fees must be paid at the time you book your appointment

    CDs and DVDs
    DVD or CD (high res.) of all your portaits $395 (family) - $495 (weddings)
    CD low res. for web or computer

    $50

    We also recommend Digital family portraits.

    All Digital Means :

    You will get to view your photographs immediately after the session. This means you will KNOW that you love your photographs before we stop taking pictures. We provide you with a color proof magazine to take with you. We will spend time with you either right after the session, or at another time at the studio to pick out the images you like the best. We can also provide you with a computer CD or post the images on the Internet for your convenience.

    Your Guarantee

    Every effort has been made to create portraits you will love and be proud to own and give away. You are going to have these images for the rest of your life, so you deserve to be happy with them. If you are not happy with your images you can have additional poses made to your liking. We do charge for re-shoots when the reason for the re-shoot is for hair style or other reasons that was out of our control. Please note that most minor imperfections can be corrected on your finished images.

    ...And What Is Not included
