Studio - Before and After!!

We finally did it!! It's here.

We now have a great, consistent place to offer some studio photography - right in our own home. And I am happy to share with you the transformation!

Please be warned - the before pictures are not pretty, and no, we do not live like this. The spare room was used as a dumping ground for all things that did not have a home before.

We repainted the walls and organized the room --- i.e removed all the things that don't belong in that room!! And Ta-DAH - the after:

We changed the paint color - while we liked the blue, it always caused the pictures we took in there to have a blueish cast to them. We also changed the curtains - I didn't leave the ones we had up before because I really didn't like them, and they just added to the blueish cast that everything had - not pretty.

I have moved some of the newer canvas prints up to the studio as well - to add inspiration to the place. I plan on adding some more pictures as well - I am also thinking of either adding some quotations to the walls, as well as painting our logo on one of the walls too.

Maybe even a Giant R too! The possibilities are endless.

In the next couple of days --- maybe even today, I have got to get the studio pricing up. Basically its going to consist of a sitting fee and then some other options. I am thinking sort of a point system so you can customize your own packages so you either get the prints you want or the digital negative to create your own prints.

Also, I am still offering the portable studio package - this is where I pack everything up and bring it to you - background and all. I plan on expanding my background colors too in the future.

Finally, there are a few limitations to the new studio - I am limited with space - so this studio setting isn't going to work for large family pictures. I can probably get a decent sized family to all fit, but it would only be for head and shoulder shots. This setting is perfect for children, newborns, maternity sessions, senior portraits (indoor headshots - perfect for the yearbook), pets, and smaller family sessions (2-3 people)

More to come on pricing!!

Contact us soon to set up your session.

Also - I am starting to look for more studio props - right now I am on the hunt for a wooden rocking horse, and a small wooden rocking chair - any ideas where I can get those?
