SMILE
Wanting pictures of your children or perhaps it's time you get in the frame? When's the last time you had family pictures taken, other than the glitchy family selfie on vacation?
Let's change that.
Scroll through and find the best fit for you. We have a studio in downtown Sylvania, OH that is light and airy, filled with fresh brewed coffee smells and simple backdrops. Let us capture the best of you. Or perhaps the weather is cooperating in Northwest Ohio and we decide to go outdoors and use a local park, downtown buildings or better yet-your home.
A mix of candid, lifestyle, and the classic 'all eye-balls on the camera' will be provided for you to view on a private, online gallery 2-3 weeks after your session.

FAQ
How far in advance do I need to book?
For preferred dates, we suggest inquiring 2 months in advance. However, if you are flexible with your dates, chances are we can accommodate you within 2-3 weeks.
How long does it take to receive my images?
After a photo session, our typical turn around time is 2-3 weeks to receive your preview gallery. Once you select your favorites from your gallery, it will take an additional 1-2 week turnaround, depending on our season.
Am I able to do an outfit change for my family session?
Please let us know in advance if you are planning to do an outfit change. There will be an additional 100 charge for this, but the perk is you receive 10+ digital files. Instead of receiving 20 images, you get to choose 30!
I am terrible Infront of the camera, I break out in hives and I have never lost my freshman 15 from 15 years ago. Help!
First off, at the end of the day, you are loved despite how you feel about yourself. Also, don't book the session for yourself, book it for your kids sake. Book it for your future self. Family photos are like vacations-you don't regret them.
How do I book a session?
Head over to our contact page and fill out your information. We strive to get back within 1 business day. Feel free to call us as well if that is easier. 419-410-4974
During my family session will you get pictures of each child as well?
You bet! During our family sessions we like to get different groupings and individual pictures of each child. Our full family sessions allows enough time for different poses and time to catch those candid moments.
Can I include the siblings in my newborn session?
Yes! We love when siblings and the dog are included. We will often make children be our assistants as well. ha!
Can I include my in-laws during the photo shoot? What about my second cousin, once-removed?
We love extended family sessions, and we quote those out accordingly, so please let us know if you are planning on any extra family. It requires more time and set-ups and you guessed it...moola.
High School Senior Packages
We are in disbelief too! How is it possible that your child is no longer wearing a diaper but instead a graduation cap? Those cliches have a tendency to be true.

FAQ
I'm interested in the Mini session, can I choose my location pretty please?
If you have a specific place in mind, please let us know where you are wanting. If we have your date free and you are the first to book on that date, then the rest of our mini sessions will follow at your location. However, if we are doing your mini session with limited availability then we will add you onto a location we are already shooting at.
I love both urban and nature...can we mix it up?
Absolutely! We can add a location onto your package if you select 'The Optimist' Package. It is an extra. 100, but the bonus is, you receive an additional 5 digital files.
Do you do the printing as well?
We only recommend printing through our print shop. Every image that is printed through us will have a final edit as needed. Depending on your package, you will also receive digital files as well. Our mini session includes 10 files of your choice and our Optimist Package includes 20 files of your choice.
What do I wear???
If you need suggestions, we can send you a link to view clothing options. You can select a color palette and a theme, and the link will curate suggestions for you. It's pretty awesome!
I'm completely awkward in front of a camera and I have no clue how to pose. Help!
If you like what you see in our HS senior gallery, you are in luck because NONE of these seniors were paid models. LOL. With that being said, we are pretty confident in our ability to make you feel as comfortable as possible while capturing the essence of who you are.
Do you do hair and makeup?
Nope. We sure don't, but we can recommend some local talent if you are looking to go that route. A thought on this: if you normally don't wear a ton of makeup, then do a test-run. Showing up not looking like yourself would maybe not be the fondest memory in photographs.

FAQ
I'm on the fence between a mini session and a full family session. Can you help me choose the best package?
If you are looking for a few basic photos to update the picture frames, then a mini might be all you need. However, if you are looking for more candids and a little more time to get different images, then a full family session is definitely the right choice.
How many images do I get?
15 files are included in the mini session. You are able to order additional images if you would like.
I'd like to include the grandparents in my mini session. Is that cool?
Mini sessions are reserved for immediate family only. Grandparents can surely join, but it will not be considered a mini session and we will confiscate your phone until you pay the upcharge. Just kidding, but we will Venmo request additional payment if you pull this trick on us.
