our work

We are parents, just like you….

With 7 children between the two of us we’ve experienced the chaos of “picture day” first hand. We’ve paid the lofty prices in hopes of receiving a great photo of our child and their team only to be disappointed by mediocre images…

Cost vs. Quality

It doesn’t have to be either / or! We pride ourselves on taking the extra steps to properly locate, light, pose and shoot an image that you can be proud to share. But remember…. We’re moms…. there’s more…

The details matter to us. It’s not unusual for us to ask a child to wipe the snack off her mouth, blow their nose or mop the sweat off his brow before taking their picture. We’ve fixed hair, straightened uniforms, tied shoes, coaxed smiles. We’ve even had kids swap shirts so that the “stain-that-showed-up-while-eating dinner-in-the-car-on-the-way-to-practice” doesn’t show! The technical stuff is important, but our eye for detail is what sets us apart.    

We do our best to provide a personalized experience and produce an exceptional product a reasonable price.  

Speaking of products, consider our Digital Download. Take it from us, you’ll want to have his 3rd grade LAX picture downloaded so you can print it up for his graduation!  

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to photograph your precious children. We can attest, they grow up WAY TOO fast. Embrace the opportunity to capture them for this small moment in time. You’ll be glad you did.

Q. What is a Memory Mate?
A. It is collage that combines your dancer's individual picture with the group picture of all the dancers. It will also have your dancer's name on it, so make sure you double check the spelling of your dancer's name on your order form.
Q. What should I do about my dancer's hair/makeup for pictures?
A. Hair/Makeup decisions are entirely up to each parent. If you check with your dancer's teacher she will be able to tell you what hairstyle she is recommending each dancer wear for their dance. You do not have to put makeup on your dancer for his/her pictures, but the majority of parents do put light makeup on their dancers for picture day.
Q. Can my children be photographed together in a picture?
A. Absolutely! Just indicate on your order form that you would like your children to be photographed together instead of individually.
Q. What background will be in the pictures?
A. We will be using a black background to photograph all of the dance pictures.
Q. My child is in multiple dances. How does that work?
A. You will need to fill out a separate form for each dance your child is in. (If you would like, you can fill out the dancer's name/personal information on one form and then photocopy it so you only have to change the dance information for each additional dance your child is in.) You can pay with only one check if you would like or by credit card on picture day.
Q. What is blemish retouching?
A. Blemish Retouching removes any blemishes on the face and smooths out the skin on your dancers face. It does not remove braces/retainers etc.
Q. How will my child be posed?
A. The dance teachers will be there on picture day and they will be posing each dancer.
Q. Is there Sales Tax in addition to the prices I see on the order form?
A. No. All the prices on the order form have NY State Sales Tax already figured in.
Q. Can I reorder more pictures after my initial order comes in?   
A. Yes, all of the pictures will be put online in a password protected proofing gallery. You will be able to order additional prints online and have them shipped directly to your house. You will not be able to order memory mates, statuettes, keychains etc on the proofing site so be sure to order those items with your regular order.
Q. When will my order be ready?
A. Orders will be available for pickup all the days of the Dress Rehearsal for the Recital. Any pictures not picked up during the Dress Rehearsal will be given back to Miss Sue and you may contact her to find out her availability to pick up your order.
Q. Can I come and watch my child get her picture taken and take my own pictures during his/her session?
A. In order to get each dance through as quickly and efficiently as possible, it is Miss Sue's policy to have all parents remain in the waiting area.
Q. How do I pay for my order?
A. Bring your order form on picture day and you can pay via check or credit card. (There is a $30 fee for bounced checks.) We are unable to fulfill any orders that are not paid for on picture day.
