Studio Blue Photography

New babies, children, maternity, families, corporate; let’s face it, photographs are the one thing that freeze time. It’s so magical and photography is just awesome! Studio Blue loves capturing those moments in time for you to look back at and remember when.  We strive to create not just snapshots, but the life inside the subject, the unique character.  We realize that you may have lots of questions about a portrait session so we’ve put together some common questions that will hopefully help you get started on the right track!  Please contact us at info@studiobluephoto.com with any additional questions or if you’d like to schedule a photo shoot.  We can’t wait to hear from you.

We try to capture a moment in time and just freeze it. It may be a smile or it may be a frown or it could be Mom just feeding her new baby. Our style really depends on what our subjects are hoping to capture.

All professional quality digital. Digital photography offers unsurpassed turnaround times and creativity and we love it! Plus it saves our environment; no paper processing or chemicals or film. Totally a win win!

Our packages do not include the negatives however a session disk or image may be purchased for an additional cost.  We don’t believe in holding your negatives hostage.

Portrait sessions are most often online within 1 week of your session date.

As far as clothing, wear simple stuff.  Crazy patterns and colors only distract from the subject; you!  So keep it simple.  Solids are great and most importantly, make sure that you and your party matches!  This is one time that it is totally cool to coordinate your clothes.  Hair and makeup should be nice and presentable but not over the top if that is not how you normally look.  For baby shoots, be sure to bring food/beverage, diapers, 3-5 outfits to choose from, some favorite toys, a blanket that is cute and any props that you are considering incorporating into the portrait.

Patient.  I have two of my own, Zack who is 7 and Ella who is 3.  I understand that kids don’t always cooperate so we just take our time.  For that reason, we never schedule sessions too close together. 

Yes, Studio Blue Photography in constantly trying to come up with ways to save our environment and make as positive an impact as possible on our Earth. 20 ways we do this are:

1. We recycle, a lot!
2. Our albums come from companies that are considered “Green” and they handcraft each album
3. Our print lab partner prints on recycled paper and 100% biodegradable paper
4. We have a home based studio which saves on both gas and energy to run a separate studio
5. Both of our cars get 36-50 miles per gallon
6. We have all energy efficient light bulbs and appliances
7. Our thermostat is carefully programmed and never set to anything above 68
8. We eat natural and organic foods and cook a vegetarian menu
9. Although we offer a leather option, most of our albums are covered in cloth or a beautiful faux
10. We reuse all packaging material
11. We power down all equipment when not in use
12. We use actual dishes, cups and napkins instead of the paper version
13. We use all digital equipment which saves on paper, film and chemicals
14. We use rechargeable batteries
15. We use email instead of snail mail
16. Refill our ink cartridges instead of buying new ones
17. Print double sided when we actually do need to print something
18. We donate; a lot!
19. Instead of juice boxes, our kids have super cool metal water bottles (and we do too)
20. Drum roll please…We set our toilet to only use ½ the water capacity and turn the water off when
    brushing our teeth.

So yeah, you can have a super awesome photographer AND feel good about saving the environment.
