Information about Phoenixville Studio & Lifestyle Photography

We book anywhere from 7 days to 9 months in advance for portrait coverage - so if you're ready and you're interested in having us photograph you, send us a message asap! There is a date hold retainer required to put your session on the calendar with the final balance due prior to the session. We only photograph one event per day, so when we're booked, we're booked! We have a few of our services which you are able to book online - Mini Sessions, Headshots, Santa Experience Sessions, and Newborn Sessions.

Short Answer: Yes.
Long Answer: Yes. Professional hair and makeup will enhance your best features as well as give you more confidence in front of the camera. A great makeup artist will analyze your face to create a look that is fresh, polished, and flattering - this will help downplay any blemishes or discoloration and bring out the twinkle in your eyes. One of the best parts of a professional makeup artist is they have knowledge in prepping your face for the the lighting we use to create a professional portrait.

The address for our studio is 177 Bridge Street, Phoenixville, PA 19460. Parking in Phoenixville is super easy!

From either of the parking lots mentioned about, our studio is less than a 5 minute walk.

Oh. My. Gosh. Destination sessions are some of our absolute FAVORITE!!! Put us on a plane stat!

Have passports will travel.

How far will we travel? Where do you want to go? Our portfolio includes destinations in Italy, Iceland, Hawaii, Mexico and the islands. There is a world out there to explore and we're ready to take this adventure with you!

If you prefer to stay a bit more local - some of the greatest destinations are right in our backyard. From our home city of Philadelphia to New York and Baltimore - we're happy to accommodate our clients with our adventurous spirit.

All the photos delivered from your portrait session will be color corrected and cropped. For the main subject(s), we can remove any temporary blemishes (marks that typically disappear within two weeks like pimples or shaving cuts) and anything that is printed in our heirloom products we do a deep dive into retouching for a more extensive photo finishing. Check out some of our before and after images for some editing magic! All our editing is done in-house by Jen.

Yes yes yes! We're happy to provide as much or as little posing assistance as you required. In fact, at least 80-90% of the people you see on our website are "self proclaimed awkward." Don't worry, you'll fit right in with our dream clients! Most of our clients don't have a clue what to do with their faces, hands, or feet before they've gone through a photography session with us and we've been able to successfully impart our poses and desired emotions for many people who have come to be repeat clients. 

Our bread and butter is weddings and portrait sessions. Our portrait sessions include families, babies, mini sessions, Santa, headshots, dogs - well, you name it we'd love to capture it!

Other style events (christening, bar mitzvahs, engagement parties, surprise proposals, etc etc) are done on a case by case basis if we have availability in our schedule. You can put in a general inquiry using this form here!

We never say no to bringing your doggo to be in front of our camera - I'd probably bring my dogs everywhere if I could bring them (wouldn't grocery shopping be MUCH more interesting?). We recommend bringing along a person to your session whom is a dedicated dog watcher and wrangler - this way someone can make sure your pup has the proper amount of attention and can hold the leash while we photograph just the two of you.

Just as a heads up, even if we're 100% cool with your dog being present, you'll need to check with your portrait location. Sometimes we photograph at locations where pets are not allowed (like Longwood Gardens) - so make sure you read the fine print before you select your locations!

Side note: I had someone ask if they could bring their goat - if you have a pet goat, met at a goat yoga class, make goat cheese together as a hobby, or own a goat farm together than sure - that sounds like a super fun addition to your session (but only if they're house broken or you're prepped to clean up after your four-legged friend)!

Yes... and no (at the same time).

Yes, we LOVE knowing what types of images you'd like to see in your portrait gallery. Perhaps you want a photo taken with your little one holding Dad's pinky finger or your doggo giving you a kiss on your cheek. We LOVE knowing these little details for your photography wish list. On the other hand...

We do not recreate other photographer's work and we will not copy your Pinterest Board one-for-one during your session. We want YOUR moments and YOUR photographs to be uniquely you and tell your beautiful life story.

There is no product purchase requirement beyond your initial fee.

Post session, you may always add additional digitals or products. We do offer an amazing line of wall art which is a perfect way to showcase a fantastic moment from your big day.  After your initial experience investment, our wall art starts at $1.25 per square inch and our albums begin at $750. Some individuals spend $500 highlighting their portrait session in physical products, others spend $5,000, but the important thing to note is these heirloom products are made to last beyond your lifetime (for those future generations!) with their amazing craftsmanship and handmade beauty imported from Italy. We are creating a product that will outlive us all.

We have a multitude of payment plans available for our portrait sessions and our heirloom products. Everyone's situation is different, and our goal is to make sure you have quality photography as well as amazing products that will last beyond your lifetime and tell your unique story to future generations.

We probably consume at least 1500 shots of espresso in a single year. Our coffee bean grinder certainly gets a workout.
