Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
We've been in business for about 40 years
What is your primary product or service?
Our primary photography is portrait photography for high school seniors, families, and business clients along with photography for ballet dancers, ice skaters, models and make "head shots" for performers. We also photograph three to four hour weddings. Animals are frequently put into the mix.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I became interested in photography at about age fifteen. During my college years a local photographer died and I bought his equipment and started advertising. I joined every professional association available and became president of the Professional Photographers of MA. I attended professional photography schools every year for many years. I've been the recipient of many awards for my portraiture.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We take a lot of time and put every effort into making your sitting a comfortable experience and our retouching and finished portraits are second to none.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We are a home studio and have been at this location since 1982. Our home is a big old Spanish style mansion that is a great setting for our business.

What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
On a weekly basis we get thank you letters and emails thanking us for our work and commitment to quality. Many times our clients have cried when they see the photographs of their families and children. We always hope it isn't because of the quality of our work (-:
