What does it mean to be a Boutique Photographer?

Blog

It means we are with you every step of the way from start to finish. 
It means we listen to our clients and do our very best to capture their story.  
We spend hours fully editing each image to create artful prints worth hanging on your walls. This includes removing tourist from the background of each image and cleaning up the skin while retaining natural tone.  

Our clients value artwork and intend do display their images. It is our job to deliver display worthy images.

Maybe it is better described by what we are not. We are not shoot and burn photographers. *Not that there's anything wrong with that, we applaud all entrepreneurs. We really enjoy the creation process and cannot deliver until the image is up to the standard of quality we hold ourselves to. We have each been in photography business for over 10 years, with Amy beginning much earlier with drawing portraits and obtaining her Bachelors of Fine Arts Degree. With all this knowledge and experience it is hard to hold back. 

This does mean we take a little longer returning proofs and we are more of an investment than a shoot & burn photographer. We have to be in order to deliver the quality of products and of commitment to each client, and still pay our bills. This is not a hobby for us. We have taken out of state workshops, college courses, continuous online workshops, we are constantly learning new ways to deliver luxury portraiture to you.

to find out.

While we would love to be the photographer of your dreams we do understand if we are not.
​ We want to help you find the right fit for you. 

Ask yourself these questions when considering photographers

• What style do you, the client, prefer? Are you looking for light and airy or dark and moody? What would best match your home décor?
• Is the photographers style consistent throughout their gallery and social media? You want to make sure you are not just seeing their favorite shots but that they are capable of recreating the same feel and style in any situation as we cannot control the weather on any given day.
• In their galleries, how are the people positioned? Do they look like they are knowledgeable in posing and composition? 
• Do they remove distractions and tourist from the background? 
• Will they remove blemishes? 
• Do I want digital images, prints or both?
• Considering digital images, Will I receive print rights? Will the images contain a logo? What size prints should I be able to get out of the digital images?  Will they help me when it comes time to print after the session?
