CLOSED

We will be closing the studio starting December 22. We will return to the studio February 1, 2011. The time off won't all be spent having fun. We're sketching new ideas for sets, and scouting new locations.

If you need to get a hold of us, send us an email, finephotos@studio1004.net
Or you can call the studio and leave a voice mail. I Can't promise that we'll get to you right way...but we will periodically check emails and voice mails.

I want to take this opportunity to also say THANK YOU to our loyal clients! This year has been amazing and I've been able to add some amazing work to our print competition folder.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Sophia B. | babysteps™

Sophia was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for the first hour of her session...which is not what we wanted. So, we waited and waited and waited for nearly two hours for her to finally fall asleep.

I'm excited to see her grow this first year. She's doing our babysteps™ program.
Formerly known as the “Watch-Me-Grow” program, the babysteps™ package is designed to capture your baby’s first year of life. Four separate photo sessions are held at 2 weeks, 4 months, 8 months and one year.

Ruben B. | Milan Senior 2011

Okay ladies...try to keep your blood pressure down. Ruben is as polite, charming, and witty as he is good looking. And you better believe it...his skin is like butter!

Here are some of my favs from his senior session.

Our buddy Brett is laid back and easygoing. His facial bone structure is simply bananas! Amazing jawline and nose.
Here are some of my favorites from his senior session.

Kayelene | KHS Senior 2011

Kayelene is oh so sweet and bubbly! And the camera totally loves her! She was a little shy at first and before we got started she warned me she was not a fan of having her picture take. I said, "Don't you worry your precious little head honey, by the time I'm done you're going to want to come back for more! Then I showed her a few of the shots on the camera display. She swung her hand up to her mouth and gasped! "OMG...I can't believe that's me! I love it!"

Here are some of my favorites from her senior session.

Lock the Door

So I was trying to relax and release all the tension from a busy day at the studio but I forgot to lock the front door. This video clip captured what happened next. It is not right...but it sho-be-funny!
