About Us
We are a Photography Studio located in Petawawa/Pembroke, ON and service all of the Ottawa Valley. My photography style is simple, relaxed and classic. Together, with my wife Colleen, we approach each image as a work of art, rather than simply a photograph.

That's a good question. I should look at doing something like this myself. One thing I already do is I give a 20% discount to returning clients on the sitting fee. One way of thanking them for coming back.

I learned you can't compete with everyone. I just let the potential client know my price, what they are getting for that price and leave it up to them. If they decide to go to another instead, then they were not my customer and I move on.

Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
John
