Do you accept “walk-ins” or are appointments necessary?
Although we accept “walk-ins”, last minute appointments are rarely available. To book your Life Experience Photo Session call our Beacon Hill location at (403) 237-5002.
COST PER PERSON?
Is there a per person cost?
There is no per person charge. Note that we book one hour photo sessions rather than 30 minute sessions for groups of two or more people.
ONE HOUR?
Why do you suggest one hour rather than 30 minute sessions for families?
One hour photo sessions allow time to enjoy the photo session without being rushed. You will be glad to have the time to make a wardrobe change, touch up hair and makeup, soothe a baby, calm a puppy and have some fun! If all goes well, we will be able to complete family, couple and individual poses within the hour.
Does Life Photo Studios photograph on location?
We do not offer on location photography as all of our sessions are conducted in the studio. However, Andras Schram, an award winning photographer and partner in Life Photo Studios, is available for on location photo shoots. Visit: www.andrasfoto.com
I understand that photo sessions are paid for at the time of booking the session. Will I be refunded if I cancel my photo session appointment?
You will not be refunded session fees but you may use your studio credit and reschedule for a more convenient time.
What happens if I am not finished viewing or ordering within my 60 minute appointment in the Preview room?
If there is no appointment in the Preview room after your session, we will continue with your preview and complete your order. If others are waiting, we will reschedule more time for another day. There is no charge for additional time in the Preview room.
Can we preview images immediately after the photo session?
We prefer to have at least one day to prepare your images for your Preview presentation. If you cannot return on another day, we will do our best to accommodate you.
Can children attend the Image Preview?
Parents often express that it is difficult to view their images with their children at the appointment. For your convenience, we suggest making your viewing appointment for a time when you can come without your little ones. We understand, however, that this is not always possible. If you will be bringing your children, please let the receptionist know their ages and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Does Life Photo Studios photograph weddings?
We do not offer on location wedding photography. But, if you are looking for something completely different for your wedding album, why not visit us after the wedding weekend is over or come in for a pre-wedding photo shoot. We offer both candid and formal portrait sessions in our studio. We will help you tell your love story with playful images and romantic portraits. Prints are sold at our regular prices.
Can you suggest an on-location wedding photographer?
Andras Schram is an award winning wedding photographer. Visit his website at www.andrasfoto.com
How much do prints and art pieces cost?
Life Photo Studios offers a wide range of prints that come in a wide range of formats and prices. As a guide, prices range from $39 to $45 for an 8" x 10" or a print sheet of images, to $200 - $500 for framed "Art for Your Home".
Can I give a Life Experience as a gift?
Yes, the Life Experience Photo Session makes a great gift. We offer gift certificates in the
dollar amount of your choice. Lullaby memberships also make great baby gifts!
Can our pets be included in our family photo?
Absolutely. Pets are important members of the family. Please have your pets well groomed and on a leash or in a carrier. Note that the lights and atmosphere of the studio can be stressful for pets and may cause some pets to become aggressive.
How many images will I have to choose from?
There are often over 100 images taken but the photographer will edit the images before the Preview and delete shots with eyes closed, etc. You can expect 30 - 50 great images from a one hour session.
How long do you keep image on file?
All images are kept on file until the first Preview appointment. The images ordered at your Preview will be archived for two years.
What are copyright regulations?
Life Photo Studios owns copyright of all images and may use all images in the advertising and promotion of Life Photo Studios. It is unlawful to reproduce, copy or reprint images under copyright protection.
Copyright of your images may be purchased and images will be provided on CD with a certificate of copyright of release. This is a best option for those who want to make multiple images for greeting cards, novelty items or advertising materials.
