Do you have an indoor studio?

We currently only take photos in the great outdoors! We have had a studio in the past but think pictures are better when taken outside. We have considered bringing the studio back but currently we think taking pictures outside gives you the best photos.

What is a professional touchup?

This is what we call our magazine quality photo touch-ups. Our designer has a four year degree in graphic design and years of experience in Photoshop. No company provides better touch-up services than we do and we stand by that. These touch-ups take in many cases hours to finish each, so they are provided after you have seen your photos and tell us which your favorites are.
