More "In Focus"

The Word on the Street . . .

You have heard us say this before . . . when you ask us to take your portraits, our goal is to provide you with excellent service, lots of choices and reasonable prices.  It’s always nice to hear when you agree, like we did in this email from one of our “moms” earlier today.

Thank you both for the beautiful photos of XXXX. As you saw yesterday, I have had a difficult  time choosing just a few poses. We so appreciate the lengths that you both went to, to get just the right shot. I will gladly recommend your services to anyone looking for a photographer.

It seems like our approach to photography is working for many of you, so we don’t plan to change a thing! 

Until the next time,
Judianne and Ron

The Word on the Street is . . . .

When you think of hiring a professional photographer, your choice is most likely driven by the end result – the final portraits you will receive at the end of your time together.  Naturally, one of our primary goals is delivering the best portraits around. 

However, the experience you have with us - from our very first interaction all the way through to the delivery of your keepsake portraits - is just as important.  Based on some recent feedback we have received, it would appear that we are achieving our goal of providing you with a great experience.  

I wanted to thank you for making [our daughter] feel at ease with today's photo session. She was extremely nervous prior to meeting you.   Both you and your husband were wonderful and made her feel very comfortable.  You’re great at what you do, and we'll be certain to share our experience...

I would just like to thank you once again for today! I couldn't have picked better people to take my senior pictures and I believe that they will be truly wonderful! You both were wonderful to work with and it really makes a difference.

[Our son] absolutely loved [the album] - thank you so much, please thank Ron for us too.  All of the pictures came out great, we love them.  I am so thankful that I had you and Ron take his Senior pictures . . .

 

Thanks to all of you for taking the time to share your feedback – it is truly appreciated! 

Until the next time,

Judianne and Ron

When you choose us as your photographers (because we are keenly aware that you do have several photographers to choose from), we want you to be as pleased with the “experience” as you are with the final portraits.  We take great pride in delivering this experience, and it seems to be working. 

Last weekend we had the pleasure of photographing two absolutely adorable little girls.  While this family lives out of state, their extended family has a home on an island in Casco Bay that they come back to several times throughout the year.   This home is special to them for so many reasons, and we were more than happy to use that location for our portrait session. Afterwards, we received this wonderful note of appreciation. 

We cannot thank you enough for all the time you spent with us on Saturday! You are such gifted and talented people, that it made it so easy for the girls to feel at ease. We cannot wait to see the finished product! THANKS AGAIN!!

Stay tuned for a sneak peek at some of the great captures from this session. 

Until the next time,

Judianne and Ron

Fun-loving Photographers

We understand how important it is to record our lives through pictures, and we feel privileged when people choose us to record these memories.  But, we also understand that sitting in front of a camera for some time can be awkward or uncomfortable – even for those people who really want to preserve these memories.  That’s why we try so hard to make it a fun experience.  If we are successful, the fun comes through and helps to enhance the final picture.

Our efforts to make the session fun and relaxing are appreciated by our clients, as this client shared in her recent thank you note to us. 

I should have emailed sooner, to thank you for the absolutely lovely experience we had with you last Saturday, taking [my daughter’s] pictures.  You are such professionals – clearly competent and knowledgeable, but also so warm and fun-loving.  We truly had such fun with you.  And the first pictures [we] had a peak at looked just great.

 

Thanks to all of you who make the experience equally fun for us!

Judianne and Ron

Our customers love our custom portrait purses and the service we provide.  After delivering a portrait purse last week, we received the following note of appreciation:

I did receive my purse and it is so wonderful! Just perfect! You two do such a beautiful job!!!  . . .  Everyone is so pleased with the pictures. I even gave the girls at work the website so they can look at the pictures. They cannot believe how great they came out. . .  [We] have been so lucky to have you two as photographers!!! Truly! 

 

In addition to portrait purses, we also offer portrait beach bags.  This is a great time of the year to have a family portrait taken on the beach and then use one of those images make your own, unique beach bag.   Interested?  Contact us for more information. 

Until the next time,

Our customers love our custom designed portrait albums.  We recently delivered a custom parents’ album to clients who hired us to photograph their daughter’s wedding last Fall.  Today, we received a beautiful note of appreciation:

“Thank you so much for putting the extra time and effort into designing our parents’ album.  It’s a beautiful, perfect remembrance of a wonderful day that we will cherish always.”

Creating custom portrait albums (whether it’s for a bride and groom, parents of a newborn, or a high school senior) really is a labor of love for us.  Receiving notes like this lets us know the time and effort is really worth it. 

Here is a link to an album we created for a high school senior and her parents last year.

Sample Senior Album

Aren’t these longer and warmer days of April great and so worth the wait?

Until the next time, Judianne and Ron
