painted, textured backgrounds. Your session includes a choice of professional,
hand colored backgrounds. The numerous colours and textures provide the
all important perfect blend between the subject and the environment. In

and individual flavour

Choose an optional 'lifestyle'
photo session at your home or location. If you would prefer a more
'environmental' photo shoot,
for example a setup that would show part of your living room, fireplace
etc as a background, you may book this session. Because this type of setup
usually involves more setup time and prep, prices are slightly higher.
It is not possible to set a definite package price on this type. The print/cdrom
packages still apply with the session. If you are interested in this type
of approach, please call to discuss the options. Generally, 1 to 2 hours
more setup time is needed for this type of sitting.

Pet portrait friendly.
Dogs, cats, birds, (fish....),
are all welcome. Decide on which package
you would like to purchase, and this will also give you a sense of time
allotment for the session. Make sure your pet is rested and (for dogs)
well exercised prior to the shoot. Grooming, favorite toys, favorite treats
all should be taken care of prior to the actual session.

Long lasting heirloom grade prints.
Lasting beauty for decades to come The heirloom prints produced at the
completion of your session are created using professional grade photographic
print paper and inks. These archival photographs have a life expectancy
of approx. 80 years! In order to ensure maximum longevity, as with any
fine printed pieces, your lphotographs should not be placed in direct
sunlight, or under strong fluorescent lighting. The surface of the print
should also be protected from airborne contaminents and pollution, which
will also degrade their appearance, by making sure they are under a sheet
of glass or plastic. The combination of chrome inks and professional
grade paper guarantee your prints will stand
the test of time.
