State of the art technology
allows us to provide the best quality photos possible. Digital
photography with film based photo processing using
Premium Fuji Crystal Archive paper
gives us the best of both worlds.
Our commitment to you-
- Not to
rush, taking the time to talk to you and child, taking the time to
get it right.
-
Not to make you buy pictures you don't like, just get the ones
you want.
-
Not to waste your time. Most photos are ready in 7 days to 10
days.
Portraits done the right way.
We provide high quality photography services to our neighbors at
reasonable prices. We believe in
fair and honest pricing. We have great packages and offer per page
pricing.
We will ask you if you have in mind for your, your child,
or your families’ portrait. Then, based on that information, we will
use three or four different poses, which may have different props and
backgrounds. For each pose several shots are taken. After finishing
the shoot, we will sit down and view the session on a monitor. You
will be able to choose which shot(s) you like and what size
package(s) you want. If you didn't like any of the pictures we will
shoot more. The portraits are ready in two business days*.
Why not get your photos done at X-Mart?
More and more the myriad of X-Mart type stores have
decided to become mini-malls. They now are becoming a department /
grocery / optometry / barber / photo studio store. While some of
these services are done by professionals who sublease, other
services, like the photo studio, are not. The `photographer’ taking
your child’s picture may be an associate who was stocking shelves in
the sporting goods department the week before. Most of these X-Marts
have come-on deals with large package for under $6.00. At that price
they are not even covering their own costs. So you ask yourself why.
Are they doing it out of the goodness of their corporate hearts?
Giving back to their customers?
Not likely, according to which X-Mart your looking at
there is several ways they get deeper in to your pocket. All of them
do two or more of the following-
-
An additional small package
charge.
-
Extra charge for some of the
backgrounds
-
Extra charge for some of the
props
-
A sitting fee of $14.99(or
more) per person
-
You have to buy a membership
in their picture club
-
Price for only the first
snap of the camera, of course this somehow is rarely a good
picture but they took several others that are available for a
price that is 5, 10, or even 15 times the come-on package pricing.
You have to wait 2-4 weeks to see the photos, by then
you are willing to buy whatever they have rather then starting all
over. They will bully you by telling you that in order to get the
photo that is the best, you will have to buy an over sized package.
They will tell that you have buy them now or they will be destroyed.
In the end you have a two or three packages of picture your not
thrilled with and a drawer full of wallet size, billfold size, and
5X7, you can’t bring yourself throw out.
On average you walk out of X-Mart, having spent
$120.00 plus.
