No smoking or vaping in or around studio. We have pregnant and nursing mothers who come with their babies and children for portraits. There is an area for smokers about 50 feet away from the studio. None of our photographers are smokers. Smoking & vaping NOT permitted in studio, office or on front porch of studio.
Babies have changing sleep patterns. Naturally, the best time to schedule their portrait appointment is when they are fully awake. But, this may change by time of your portrait session. I can open the studio as early as 9am if this helps for photographing your baby at a better time. We can also reschedule for a different day or for earlier or later time the same day when possible. Let's team up to work this to help ensure the best portraits.
You may pay for your portrait session in advance using the appropriate Portrait Session Payment Button below or just wait until after your portrait session. If you pay online in advance, you will receive a receipt to your email and we will also have a printed copy of the receipt to hand you when we meet for your portrait appointment. Paying now with payment button below is simply offered as a convenient way to save time later after your session.

Top Class Portraits™ Sessions
Top Class Portraits™ Sessions
We schedule a various number of sessions per day. Up to three Top Class Portraits™ sessions per day in the studio and portrait area outdoors behind the studio. This helps ensure you receive maximum studio portrait photography attention and customer service. Other photographers and Portrait Club members also use and schedule sessions at the studio or strictly in the area outdoors behind studio. For this reason, more than one portrait session can be scheduled at the same time depending on customer needs of each session. During summer and fall there is a backyard photography area behind the studio which makes outdoor portrait sessions more convenient and less time consuming.
Top Class Portraits™ customers are required to give permission to use any and all photographs from every session we shoot for you for posting on our website, Facebook and other social media for public viewing as well as public viewing in the form of printed samples and slide show presentations in public places. We have this policy in place as we anticipate Congress pushing for greater privacy online to protect children. All photographers may eventually be required by our hosting services to have written authorization. If you don't want to give us this permission, we regret we will not be able to provide our portrait services to you.
