And the best way to display your attitude is to invest your self in the preparation! When you commit your time and effort to getting this done right you will reap the benefits with a 100% return on your investment. When you read the information about what to wear for your pictures and lay out the clothes a few days in advance, it shows! When you prepare for your sessions by getting a haircut two weeks prior to the session, you're saying this is important enough to plan for. When I see your level of preparedness I echo your enthusiasm with my own. Your attitude is contagious! So bring a good attitude by preparing for your session and you'll be sure to get the very best out of your senior pictures! Just what you need! The secrets other studios don’t want you to know! Shopping for a photographer is a unique experience. Portraiture is not like a product that you pull off of a shelf; it’s a creative service. So do you just compare on price? And if you pay less, what will the ‘less’ be; less creative or less service? How can you be sure you’re getting the best value? Let‘s see how to find a match for your needs. ASK FOR PRICES: It does make sense to ask questions about prices, but it’s really only a small part of the big picture. (Pun intended.) The value of a portrait is in the way it makes you feel, not what it cost. You’re not going to like a bad portrait more because you paid less for it. But the portrait you love will always feel priceless. If you can’t spend the time to shop, simply paying more might increase your chances of getting better quality. But the most expensive isn’t always the best, and the cheapest is seldom a bargain. Ya gotta shop! KenMar caters to shoppers. You’re our kind of people! LOOK FOR QUALITY: Quality and value are found in your own sense of good taste. You feel good when you’re looking at people’s relaxed poses and expressions because you mirror their feelings. You can sense when backgrounds and props become distracting and trendy. At KenMar we’ve learned that you appreciate qualities that are classic, meaningful, and timeless. Take a look at our samples here and visit our web site at www.kenmarstudio.com. You’ll find comfortable poses with backgrounds that blend with and enhance the portrait. When you see better quality in a product or service; pay a little more for it. If you don’t see the difference...don’t. You need to go where you feel a comfortable balance of value for cost. That’s how our customers find KenMar. LISTEN TO OTHERS: Ask around! Parents and students from past years will be glad to share their opinion. Read the comments from our past clients throughout this paper and on our web site. Word-of-mouth has always been our best advertising. For over 50 years our reputation is still being built one

Todd responded gladly to my request to have my photo taken outdoors, even though it was the middle of March and we had to clamber through the snow to get to the best backdrop. I needed a good new photo of myself for business purposes, and I needed a photographer who could capture a genuine personal image of me. This was no small task since I HATE having my picture taken and am known in my family for being particularly UNphotogenic! Todd was a master at getting me to relax and still come up with poses and lighting that worked for getting great photos.
