Our Exclusive Club has become VERY Popular and Enrollment has far surpassed my hopes for success so I have now had to place a limit on available Spaces which are filling up quickly.

Club Memberships make *GREAT GIFTS* Too and are UPGRADABLE by the recipient after receiving it. . . .
Welcome to the Exclusive "WATCH ME GROW" Portrait Club. Being able to have Professionally Captured images of your child has always been an very expensive and stressful proposition, Until NOW !
Watching the fancy Studios especially the one's set up in Malls charge hundreds of dollars just for sitting fees on a single portrait session and then charge $50-$100 for add ons like Black & White conversions, Selective Color and their biggest GIMMICK "GLAMOUR" Application where they charge $60 or more PER POSE that it made me think, how could I provide a service to save folks a ton of money, make it convenient along with less stressful to get have your child's photo taken without having to drag them to the MALL or a Studio. BINGO, I'll bring the Studio TO YOU !
With the "WATCH ME GROW" Portrait Club you receive many benefits that you will never get at an expensive studio, save yourself a boat load of money and leave the stress behind. Having the convenience of being able to schedule your photo session in between doing your laundry & serving dinner without having to leave the house is something my clients have flipped over. No more packing up the car, dragging the kids out, forgetting outfits etc. helps turn a portrait session into something FUN & very cost effective. Plus there's nothing like having a professional photographer on call to capture special moments in the child's own environment where they feel comfortable and are able to respond having their picture taken in a positive manner results in much more natural & exciting photos!
Imagine this,
You belong to the Portrait Club - You find out on Monday that your going to have an extra hour or two on Friday morning before you have to pick up your dry cleaning, take your oldest to cheer leading practice and then come home to cook dinner. You figure it's the perfect time to have some photos taken to add to your professionally printed & bound photo album of your child (You know the one you DON'T get at the MALL or Expensive Studios) along with adding a few 8" x 10"'s, 5" x 7"'s and wallets to send off to grandma & grandpa! You simply pick up the phone, dial my number and schedule a morning session at your own home. I check my appointment book and say "See you at 10am"! Come Friday morning you have no stress worrying about getting your child ready, pumping them up to go out when all they wanna do is stay home and watch cartoons. Geez what a perfect time to catch them laughing and enjoying themselves, don't you think that would be a perfect time to capture some great memories? Well I DO and I've proven that my system not only works, but it works GREAT and saves you time and $$$ ! I know how valuable a parents time is these days having 2 girls of my own and there is nothing like being HOME already when your session is finished because it's time to make that pick up at the dry cleaner along with driving your other child to cheer or karate practice. Parents love it, the Kids love it, Relatives dig it and your bank account thanks you with a smile. It doesn't get any better then this folks and when all is said and done you'll come out on top with something no amount of money can buy and that's valuable memories that live on for generations to come stylized in the frames you fill with photos and the beautiful photo album you receive at the end of your membership. Nothing could be finer then to share your photos at every family Gathering, BBQ or Holiday. The Smiles, Laughs, Uhhs & Ahhs will bring you laughter & tears for years to come and when it's time for your little one to start collage or go off on their own, you'll always have those photos & your book of memories to remind you of how fast time went by and what a joy it was to raise your children.

*How the "Watch Me Grow" Portrait Club Works*
What YOU DO:
You choose the Membership that's right for YOUR needs and YOUR budget, pay your membership fee and the Hard part is DONE! Now the EASY Part, decide WHEN you would like your child's photo taken for the first session, (a minimum of 72 hours notice is recommended - but if I have the booking time open I will schedule you in regardless of how much notice is given - Try getting that with a Studio). My appointment book is filled on a 1st come 1st serve basis, so getting your session dates scheduled as soon as possible allows you a more choice & flexibility. YOUR FINISHED ! Now how much easier can I make it for you? Now Get ready for some fun & laughs. . . .
What I DO:
I schedule your photo session and when the day arrives I pack up my car with my Camera Equipment and FULL Studio Lighting Kit, I step on the tall thin pedal on the right and off I go (stopping at Duncan Donuts for a cup of Joe). Upon arrival at your home, I discuss with you what type of photos you would like taken for the session, maybe it's pool day & you'd like some portraits taken of your child swimming, perhaps it's a beautiful day and you'd like to meet at a local park for some outdoor portraits, great sounds like an idea to me. Oh boy it's raining out and your child's favorite pet is feeling gloomy from the weather, so lets get some memories of them playing & posing together. Some times it easier to ask the model what THEY would like to do, allowing them to be relaxed, have fun and act natural results in some fantastic shots that other wise would not be possible (another thing you'll never get from a studio). The more natural a setting it is for them the better results we will have. During ANY or ALL of your club sessions if you choose to have FORMAL Portraits taken, we will do that as well. Unlike Studios (once again) I do not limit how man Outfits changes you want and do not charge extra per POSE. Whatever I can shoot during your booked session time that's what I will shoot. You don't get charged anything extra and there are no hidden fees.
Once the session is over I will pack up my gear and leave you to the rest of your day to enjoy. Your photos will be processed over the next few days and then be posted on your PRIVATE PASSWORD Protected Web page Gallery for you, family & friends & who ever else you choose to give out your information to, to start enjoying the photos and make any purchases at your club membership discount prices (Depending on which membership you chose, printing prices START at more then 40% off or more then most studios prices and you also enjoy additional savings off MY regular pricing as well). Oh Don't forget a very important membership benefit, again depending on your package you will receive $100 to $400 in CREDIT toward the purchase of any photos you choose top purchase in any size & any finish offered. (* You will be given full instructions on how to use your Photo Credits from each session during the signing of your membership package contract). So not only do you enjoy huge discounts on Portrait Prints from your membership, I give you part of your membership fees back in CREDIT towards Portrait Purchases AND you get a Professionally designed & Printed Full Color Table Top Coffee Book with your selected photos at the end of your contract to share the memories for generations to come (*If included with your package).
The Savings here are huge compared to local Studios as well as the studio located in the Rockaway mall with an average savings of 30-60%!

*FAQ About Membership*
Q. Can you make my son or daughter fly like the little boy in this picture?
A. YES ! But you will have to sign 3 waivers, 1 for injury, 1 for broken furniture & 1 for the heart attack treatment grandma will need after seeing that picture!. Hey anythings possible right? LOL
Q. How am I actually saving big $$$ belonging to the Portrait Club?
A. Well Simple, Depending on which level you have chosen depends on how much your saving over the long run. Basically each programs SITTING FEE's account for 35%-45% of the fee right off the bat. Then the addition of the Prints you get INCLUDED along with the CREDIT toward more prints brings the price of the membership towards the full cost already making everything after that Gravy ! Then you have the DISCOUNT on additional prints where even after just buying a FEW your investment starts paying off BIG. Example, in the Platinum package you get a 16 x 20 print INCLUDED, that's a $175 print (Compare to other studios $219 price tag) and if you wanted another one with selective color applied ($50 MINUS 40% for your club discount making it a mear $20 *Competitions price $75*), plus you get 35% off the price of the print saving you ANOTHER $61.25 - So a Regularly price print of $200 now costs you $108.75 A savings of $91.25 or about 46% and that's on ONE SINGLE PRINT ! The KICKER is that These saving are not only for YOU but ANYONE you choose to give your web page Password to GETS THE DISCOUNTED PRICES TOO! So having your In-Laws, Grandma & Grandpa and Uncle Jimmy ALL Benefit from the program, which can save THOUSANDS of dollars very quickly! Each program has been it's benefits over the next but I have painstakenly developed these from the ground up to ensure each one of them enables you to save a great deal of money along with saving you time and making a portrait session a stress free & FUN experience.
Q. Why would you give such huge discounts, How do you make money?
A. It all boils down to how I was raised and my business theories. We didn't have a lot of money when I was growing up (and still don't) so I know what it's like to be on a budget. My business theories are modeled after Donald Trump (he made it so maybe I can too) which is Make money by selling BULK at a smaller profit rather then trying to score a home run with each client. This way my clients are happy that they haven't spent a ton of money & their family & friends also save money etc. etc. What I'm hoping for is that everyone that gets involved with this program will use the best marketing technique I have found to date WORD OF MOUTH and recommend me to their friends & family for all their Photography needs like Weddings, Parties, Communions, Bar & Bat Mitzvahs, Real estate, Commercial Projects, Modeling Portfolios etc. so I can have more work and make more money. I want as many people as I can knowing my name & using my gift as an artist. I'm not only building a business but a BRAND NAME. 'MY NAME' is on everything I do and I don't hide behind a generic business name so I put 100% of my skills & effort toward keeping my product as high quality as it can be. I won't stamp my name on a photo or contract unless I'M 100% Satisfied with the results ! So PLEASE recommend me to all your friends & family for their photography needs.
Q. What SPECIAL EFFECTS can you apply to my kids portraits?
A. Well considering I have over $6000 in Post Production software in my Digital Darkroom and do all my own Post Production IN HOUSE, I can do a lot of things so just ask, if it can be done I'll be more then happy to accommodate you. Some of the POPULAR effects are: Black & White Conversions, SELECTIVE COLOR *which is a B&W shot which then is COLORED in with SELECTIVE items in the original shot such as a Red Shirt, Hat & Sneakers they were wearing or the beautiful art deco painting you had hanging behind the model or just bringing out the bright blue eyes your child has with the rest of the shot B&W - It gives a great effect and brings life to an otherwise dull or boring photo. This is a great way of saving an other wise so so photo and making something artistic out of it as well. Also using a "GLAMOUR" Application on Close Up facial Portraits is a great way of making your child look like a model. It reduces lines, skin flaws, stray hair strands, brightens the eyes and much more. It is commonly known in the industry as the "MODEL" look as well and is basically a high tech AIR BRUSHING.
Q. Any other effects available?
A. Glad you asked, YUP ! Facial Detailing is another Air Brush technique used to fix Facial Blemishes, Scars, Birthmarks and that dreaded 10am Pimple that popped up just before I arrived. Relax, It can all be fixed! Some other really cool effects are applying filters that make your photo look like an OIL PAINTING, PASTEL or PENCIL DRAWING, Combinations of Oil & Pencil and lots more. These effects came from my Wedding Clients wanting these so I went out and spent over $1200 for these Plug-Ins to make my clients happy. The final product looks wonderful and especially cool on large prints of 16" x 20" or larger but still look decent on a 8 x 10 too.
Q. Can I have those special effects applied to any size photo?
A. Yes & No, It all depends on the effect chosen and if it makes sense to use it on a smaller print. They all CAN be used on any size but NO I won't do certain effects to smaller pictures because it either won't look good or you won't be able to see the the full detail of the effect so you would be waisting your money and I won't allow that. If I'm putting MY name on the product as a representation of my art & work and it won't look good I'll refuse to take your money no matter how bad you may want it. It may just come down to getting a larger print size to better appreciate the effect, I'll use my expertise to guide you along so have no fear, Bill is here !
