Cap and Gown:
You don't have to choose between cap and no cap. You can purchase a package of each or a package of one and add individual photographs of the other.
We mention this because often the Graduates don't want the cap, but the parents do.
We also recommend a package containing two 8x10 photographs so that when your child leaves home they will have a good size portrait to remind them of one of their greatest achievements and of course you will have your 8x10 in your home. This is something we discovered talking to many parents over the years, so we thought that we would pass this idea on.

Retouching:
It makes all the difference! Over 75% choose it, many prefer not to remember blemishes, braces and tired looking eyes (from  all the studying or was it all the partying?).  Put it this way; no one has ever collected their package and said, "I regret having retouching done, you made me look great."  Most just say, "Wow!"  We will give you honest advice if we think retouching is appropriate - no pressure!

Protective Coating:
If you don't put a portrait behind glass it can easily be damaged. If it's behind glass, dust and dampness can ruin it. Sometimes the glass breaks damaging the portrait. Many times (at no charge) we have attempted to soak the glass and portrait to separate them so the customer would not have to buy a replacement but more often than not it takes days and the surface of the portrait degrades leaving us no choice other than recommending a new portrait. Customers always reorder with the Protective Coating! The coating also looks more contemporary and is easily cleaned with a damp cloth. It is easer to keep clean over the years than glass. But, you are the customer; you decide.

Casual:
Studio or on Location? Not sure about what to wear? Talk to us.

Formal:
When will you wear that gorgeous dress again or that tuxedo? Let us capture that moment and make you look your best. Only a professional can do this adequately.  Recently a customer commented on a 20x30 portrait in our window. "She looks so life like!" The customer appreciated the eye and hair detail, the beads on the dress and shoes and the weave of the fabric in the dress all recorded as it was in real life. But we do use the best camera in the world - the only one in Southern Alberta!  By the way - tuxedos look great - they show the true quality of the cloth.
