Portraits with Jim White Photography

The biggest difference between our studio and other "chain studios" is that we focus more on quality than quantity. We do not schedule as many sessions because we believe that in order for you to get the investment piece you are paying for, we do not want a line out the door. We want to give all of our clients personalized attention from the first contact to final delivery. Every step of the way we want to make sure that your experience is like none other!

 

Lifestyle Portraits… let’s have fun!

Feel the music…

get comfortable…

relax and let the true “you” shine…

Studio and Outdoors

Our goal is to deliver fantastic portraits of who you really are.  We shoot both indoors with traditional backdrops and studio lights as well as outdoors with natural light. 

We love it when clients bring their i-pods or let us know the music they are listening to, so that in the studio we can help you feel at home, kick off your shoes and take great photos.  Bring lots of clothes- change often-swap out those earrings/high heels.  On location shooting is so much fun; we are close to many scenic locations.  The time of the day is very important for outdoor portrait lighting.  What most clients do is schedule indoor studio shots first and then move outdoors as the sun is setting and the light gets yummy.

Professional editing

Unlike the department store portrait packages, we professionally edit all the final pictures.  This means removing blemishes, smoothing skin, correcting lighting or removing the occasional distraction in your picture. 

Choosing your pictures

We do not restrict our clients to single poses or sheets.  You may choose your photos in any order or combination you like.  Most of our packages include multiple 8x10’s, 5x7’s, 4x6’s and wallets. 

Web Hosting

Unlike the department store portrait packages, all of your edited photos are posted on-line in a secure web site that allows you the ability to review and select your pictures in the comfort of your home.  Additionally your friends and family that visit the site can order prints and gifts for themselves.

Final Product

Not all photo finishing is the same! Some studios can provide instant “prints” because they process them on-site with ink jet or other similar printers.  This is why we don’t sell “sheets” of prints.  We have all of our “photos” developed in the old fashion chemical process in lab; this means photos that last as long as your parents’ photographs did.  Our photos take a couple days to get to you but we can develop any size to fit your needs to include poster sized photos.  Do you have an attic for of old picture frames?  Why not get photographs to fit the frames your already own rather than buying new ones every time you get new portraits done.  We also offer canvas wrapped prints, framing and pretty much anything your heart desires.

Creative Art

Sure portraits are nice, but why not make those great pictures into works of art for senior invitations, birthday party announcements, holiday cards? We can create anything just give of a general idea of what you’re looking for and we’ll get to work for you.

 

~Things to think about prior to your session~

High School Seniors remember to bring things that are unique to you…musical instruments, golf clubs, skateboards, the family dog, cheering costume, surfboard (don’t forget the bathing suit), dance tutu, anything that helps show the real “you”. 

Couples should wear clothes they are comfortable in.  Guys, if you like to wear baseball hats- wear one- you will look happier.  Always bring a couple changes of clothes.

New parents bring extra diapers, favorite stuffed bear or toy.  Parents look great wearing black t-shirts against a black backdrop- your beautiful baby becomes the focus.
