Beautiful | Mckinney, Texas, Photographer

Posted in Family Time, VideoNo comments

Some things are just meant to be. That’s how fate would have it for Lindsey and Josh, who met while working at a local Red Lobster. Shortly after, they were in love. And now..they have been happily married for three years and have two beautiful daughters. Though Lindsey and Josh have moved on from Red Lobster their love continues to shine and grow. Josh recently graduated from the Police Academy, while Lindsey works for a dentist office in Mckinney, Texas. The Miller family is some of the greatest people we’ve had the pleasure of working with and hope that their future continues to be as amazing as they are! Check out a few shots from their session and a short video if you have a minute!

Questions From Groupon | North Texas / DFW Photographer

Posted in Education and Information, Photography11 comments

We’ve gotten a lot of questions today about the Groupon deal, and many of them are similar, so we are going to take a moment and answer some right here for you!

Do I have to have my shoot before the coupon expires? – No. You simply need to book your session before the coupon expires, however, you can book your photo session as far in advance as you would like.

Print Sizes - You can purchase any size print, not just 8x10s. We offer anywhere from wallet sizes all the way up to 30×40 prints, gallery wraps, Float wraps, fine art murals and anything else you might be looking for.

Can you purchase All of your images on CD -  Yes, absolutely.

How many people can be in the shoot –  Up to five people can be in the 1 hour session, however, if you have more than five, please give us a call at 214-842-4577 to see how we can work with you.

Location, who picks it - If you have an idea in mind where you want your photo session, then great! But, if you are like most of our clients, you may not be sure on where you want to go and that’s where we help out. We do our best to cater to your preferences and will work hard to try to find a location that works for you.

Where are you Located? - Our office is in Mckinney, Texas, but we travel to all of North Texas.

Are you guys like Wal-mart? – No, absolutely not. We are a fully customized photography experience that focuses on you.

Why do I need a consultation? – We schedule a consultation because we want to get to know you. We want to cater your photo session to fit your needs, which is why this step is probably the most essential one. It’s also a big reason why we are not like Wal-mart.

How do we find your Facebook page? – Easy! Just go to www.Facebook/com/renaerashael or click it.

Can I book online? – Sadly, not yet. While we do have an online system that does allow our clients to schedule their sessions, we have yet to roll over last years appointments. As soon as the system is updated and ready for use, we will let you know. For now, please just give us a call at 214-842-4577!

If you have any other questions, leave us a comment below, or call us at 214-842-4577 or use the contact form to email us.
