Photo gear & photography classes

Not only do they have a huge assortment of photo and video gear, but they also have educational classes and rental gear if you want to try before you buy.
Not sure what camera you need? No problem. Just go in and talk to one of their camera experts. They’ll ask you a series of questions and will give you options to choose from. They’re also don’t do high pressure sales.
They have much better options than Best Buy and will price match.

Perfect for the relative or loved one who is impossible to shop for. My most popular gifted sessions are extended family sessions and grandparents sessions, but you can also gift other types of sessions - family, couples, pet, newborn, etc.
I have gift certificates that I can email to you so you can print them at home and I have other gifting ideas too!
How does it work? You pay the deposit for your session and it will hold a spot for your family in 2026. The remaining amount will be invoiced the day of your session.
