1.  Do I need to book an appointment?

It is best to book an appointment to avoid having to wait, or worse, not having a session because we are fully booked.  During the peak fall/christmas season, book early as session times fill quickly.
If you have small children, try to book times when they are at their happiest.  Avoid scheduling appointments during nap or feeding times.  For infants, we recomend feeding your baby here at the studio just before your session.  We have a nursing station to accomodate your needs.

2.  Is there a Session Fee?

There is a session fee for clients who do not hold a "Pixatron Membership".  For groups of 7 people or less the fee is $49.95; for groups of 8 people or more the fee is $79.95.  Pixatron Memberships are available at $99.95 and include unlimited sessions for 2 years.

"Families"
►  We suggest casual wear for a more playful and relaxed portrait.  Denim is a great look and fits with our backgrounds well.  Everyone should dress in the same style, mood or color family.  Darker, solid colours (including socks) are recommended for darker backgrounds and white and light colours for lighter sets.  Avoid bright or patterned clothing for families/groups, as they are very distracting and draw the focus away from the faces.
►  Be in tune to what your teenager wants to wear.  If they like what they are wearing, they will be more willing to participate.
►  Avoid trying a new hairstyle, wear your hair in the style you normally wear it.  Women with longer hair should wear it down to frame the face.
►  Don't cancel your session because of minor blemishes, scars or imperfections.  We can retouch finished portraits to eliminate any imperfections and soften harsh lines.

Your Session Guide



Sessions typically take about 15 to 30 minutes.  Small children generally do well during the first 15 minutes and we focus on taking most photos during this time.  Depending on the children's comfort level and the number of groupings or poses, sessions may be longer.

"New Born"

We absolutely love these sessions!  Here are some suggestions to help your session go smoothly!

♥  Session with your newborn can take anywhere from one to two hours.  This amount of time allows for feedings or diaper changes.  This time frame does not include the time for selecting your images once the session is complete.  Please try to allow yourself sufficient time so that you can enjoy the Pixatron experience.

♥  If your baby is being photographed naked, remember that accidents can and will happen.  No need to panic!  We are well equipped to handle such situations. 

♥  We recommend that you feed your baby at the studio prior to the session.  We are equipped with feeding pillows, a microwave and a private area for mom and baby.
 
♥  For best results, we strongly recommend having your baby photographed before he or she is two weeks old.  If this isn't possible and your child is older, we will still give you a variety of beautiful images to choose from, however, certain poses may not be achievable.
 

"Pets"

Your Pet is part of your family too!  Feel free to bring him/her for your family session, or even for a session alone.  Here are a few guidelines if you are bringing your pet to the studio.

☼  Please bring your pet into the studio for the duration of the session only.  He or she must remain outside or in your vehicle prior to and after the session.

☼  Pets must be on a leash or in a pet carrier.

☼  We suggest bringing your pet's favourite treats and/or toys for their session.
