Portrait Innovations have totally re-invented the studio experience. I first discovered this studio at Christmas time when I took my three year old granddaughter in to surprise her mom and dad with portraits for Christmas. While she is adorable (what grandma wouldn't say that), she isn't exactly the best subject at getting her picture taken. I have tried to have her picture taken before and all she did was cry! The photographers here are very professional and very good with kids.

You first go for the photography session and choose the backgrounds you like from many choices. They will change the background several times and they change with the season. They also have great props ... things for the kids to hold or darling little vintage chairs, big blocks or wicker chairs for them to sit on.

Well, they had Lena smiling like a Cheshire cat in no time! Then you view and select your favorites ... choose from 36 great poses. Not just six! This is the hard part because they are so darned cute! It only takes seconds to get all the poses up on a large screen. They create one-of-a-kind portraits using special effects, tones and props. It is really hard to choose!

Next, your portraits are ready while you wait in just 15 minutes ... not 15 days! There are no sitting fees or charges. You are welcome to bring an extra change of clothes for you and your family.

When Lena came last month, I asked her what she wanted to do and she said get my picture taken! I took her again, this time with her new baby sister.

They laid baby sister on a silk blanket and had big butterfly wings laying on each side of her ... talk about priceless! I loved it and so did the kids.

They usually have a portrait special going on. I got a whole package, one 10x13, two 8x10's, four 5x7's, four 3x5's and 32 wallets for only $9.95 ... that's right ... $9.95!

They also do a great job with families.

Business professionals can't beat the portrait offer. Your choice of any three poses, three sheets of each pose in color or black and white, and images on CD. All for only $69.95. Great for business cards, letterheads, marketing materials, real estate signage and many other business needs. This offer is for individual business professionals only. These portraits are also ready in just 15 minutes.

Walk-ins are welcome as openings are available but appointments are highly recommended.
