Measuring walls

Step

Be sure to measure all of the walls that might be a good spot for your portraits and send us your wall picture snaps over before your ordering session. We will use your wall photo to walk you through decorating possibilities including showing image groupings, custom layouts and framed prints right on your walls, which will make deciding a breeze.

In Person viewing and Ordering

Step

This is the best part, when you will see all of your images for the first time and place your order. Our process makes image selection easy and fast. Our software allows to easily visualize how your images will look on a room wall in your house. Remember to bring any wall measurements and room images to help you with your wall art placement. You will also be able to see our heirloom albums, frames, canvases, and custom cards again.

Artisan Photography has photographed our family since we were pregnant with our first child. We've done studio, home, and on-location photo shoots and they have all been wonderful!

Andrea makes the environment light and comfortable and the pictures are always so awesome that it's hard to choose the best ones.

The photography books from those shoots are our family's greatest treasures!!!

I had Andrea take photos to be used for a CD project and I'm so pleased with the results. Not only does she have the technical skill but she also has a wonderful artistic and creative eye as well.

I highly recommend her and will use her again in the future. Fantastic photos, great photographer!!!
