    We have been using Happily Ever After Photo for 3 years now to capture all of our family milestones. Ruth is an amazing photographer who is willing to work with our schedules and with my not so easy kids. I am in awe of the photos she takes. She has great ideas to capture the best of my family.

Question and answer

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. Weddings- we are a full service wedding studio and we not only provide high res DVD images of every wedding but also design stunning custom albums, storybooks and mini books. Framing, wall portraits and more!

Equine: Passionate about horses and their relationship to their people. Our clients love our storybooks that feature all of their favorite images from their session.

Family/kids: I do a ton of pregnancy and newborn portraits as well as first year series. Studio and location sessions!

High School Seniors: So much fun and creativity! Seniors are a break from reality- love creating one of kind sessions and finding unusual places to create one of kind images.

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. When shopping for a photographer take time to look at their website samples and make sure that their style is what you are looking for. Ask for their advice on locations, time of day and more.

Experience in photographing exactly what you want is a must! Just because someone can photograph kids doesn't mean they can photograph weddings or pets. So be sure to see lots of samples of the type of session YOU are booking.

I have been a professional photographer for over 15 years and run a full service studio. I specialize in weddings, equine, family/kids and high school seniors.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. That for every minute in front of the camera there is a hour behind the scenes working on editing, computer work and other day to day business tasks. Shooting and designing albums, books and holiday cards is the fun part!

Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?

A. Are you available on my date?

How do I reserve your services? Is there a contract?

Do you bring an assistant?

When will I be able to see my proofs?

Can I have several references?

Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?

A. Photography is a print medium- meaning that seeing digital images online or on your computer is great but photography was meant to be printed. Framed prints, albums, storybooks and more are available and in my opinion are the best way to enjoy your images for years to come.

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. Professional, creative photography on location or in our studio. Local business for over 15 years. Clients love our storybooks and wall portrait ideas and more!

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. Meeting new people and being given the opportunity to get to know their family and capture what is most important to them.

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. How much do you cost?
a) we have a Holiday Mini Session Promo for $99

What do I get?
a) mini session on location or in studio, high resolution DVD for $99

When can I get a session?
a) Call or email me today!

Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?

A. That the time I spend in the session or at your wedding represents just a fraction of the time involved in creating the finished work that you see. My favorite part of the process is album design- I absolutely love photographing sessions, events and weddings and then putting everything together into an album or storybook design.
