For most of our sessions, we will arrive a few minutes prior to our scheduled time to set up. If we are having your shoot in your home, we come with backdrops, props, lighting, seating, and other equipment to make your pictures as great as they can be.

If your child has a favorite lovey or you have a pet or other subject you would like in your photos, please feel free! Unlike some photographers, we don't charge extra for additional people or poses - we want your captured memories to be everything you dreamed of!

We will need a little bit of room to set up - your living room usually works the best, but if you don't have the room there, a basement or even a temperature-controlled garage works great. Don't worry about windows and lighting - if there's not enough natural light, we will take care of it.

What you should do is be yourself! Dress comfortably, and we always recommend that your hair and make up (if applicable) looks like YOU - these are the real memories you want to commit to pictures. We do understand some occasions warrant more elegant dress and a fancier look, and that's great too, if that's the sitting you've scheduled. Otherwise, relax, have fun, and you will find that the pictures from our shoot will be some of the greatest you've ever had taken.

For outdoor shoots, we just ask that you avoid clothing with prints such as leaves and flowers, for the obvious reasons - we don't want you to be a floating head, blending into the background! Our sessions often take place in wooded areas or gardens, so solid colors often return better results.

Where do we shoot? Everywhere! There's some great historical areas in Central Ohio, as well as beautiful metropolitan parks. You may find that even your very own neighborhood has a fantastic area with a pond and landscaping! Your own back yard may be the ideal setting. If you have a request, let us know - or if you'd just like us to scout out an area near your home, we'll do that in advance and let you know where to meet us. We look for colorful foliage, or unique settings with gazebos or other interesting backdrops for your shoots. These are definitely looks you won't get in any studio!

We have Chroma-Key (green screen) technology available as well, on special request. We can integrate your subjects into hundreds of different scenes using digital software. Please let us know if you'd like some shots using our Chroma-Key background.
