Studio Photography Sessions | Simple & Timeless

ABOUT STUDIO SESSION EXPERIENCES

Leah Islinger Photography offers three different Studio Session Experiences....

The Full Studio Experience, The Petite Studio Experience & The Pet Studio Experience

These studio sessions last from 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on which experience you choose.

Sessions take place in my Little Chute studio.

Neutral/simple backdrops are available along with a select amount of bolder options. Studio props will be provided and full details will be discussed before your session.

You will be presented with your final preview images in a private online gallery.

YOUR EXPERIENCES, EXPLAINED.....

Studio sessions are available for:

* A small family group (up to only 6 people)

* Children (that are not newborns, babies, 1 year olds or Seniors)

* Pets

These sessions are great for quickly updating your family photos when you don't want an outdoor session or for a simple children's session for your toddlers, grade-schoolers, or pre-teens.  

These sessions do not include: Maternity, Newborn, individual  6-Month Sessions,  individual 1st Birthday Sessions, Seniors, or Headshots

WHAT TYPE OF EDITING DO YOU DO?

Minor retouching will be applied to gallery proofs, with full skin retouching completed on the images you choose to purchase. More advanced edits, such as braces removal or other detailed retouching requests, are available for an additional fee.

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?

When it comes to clothing, I recommend coordinating colors rather than matching exactly — think complementary tones instead of identical outfits.

Don’t forget about shoes! They don’t need to be spotless (especially for little ones), but if they’re muddy, a quick clean can help keep them from drawing attention in seated poses.

I’m often asked which colors photograph best. My general advice is to avoid neon shades and clothing with very fine pinstripes, such as some men’s dress shirts, as these tend to photograph poorly.

WHAT TIME IS OUR SESSION?

Unlike my outdoor sessions because I will be using studio light the time of day is more flexible with a studio session. My studio hours are from 10am to 2pm. If you need a later time we can discuss it.

PETS & THE RULES

For studio pet sessions, I kindly ask that your pet be fully potty trained before scheduling. I frequently photograph babies and toddlers in the studio, and while I thoroughly clean and sanitize after every session, maintaining the cleanest environment possible is very important for everyone’s safety and comfort. Additionally, as the studio is a rental space, accidents can create obvious challenges.

Bringing your pet’s favorite treats is highly encouraged, especially if they’re food motivated. As well as a favorite toy to help keep them engaged and relaxed.

Contracts and waivers are required for all pet sessions.

Please ensure your dog is leashed when entering and exiting the building.

Clients are responsible for any damage or incidentals caused by their pet.

A studio session may be a better option than an outdoor session if your pet tends to run off or is easily distracted.
