Revised Portrait rates

Chuck — Tue, 14 May 2013 23:18:53 +0000

CAP is proud to announce new and improved rates for Portraits in Buffalo NY. For some time now I have depended on a la carte pricing for prints, which tends to scare people off so they opt to just buy the disk and print themselves. Allow me to say this – I love prints! And I truly feel that I have allowed my service to be too digital friendly at the expense of providing amazing quality prints to my clients. With the cost of my “session fee,’ and the low cost of the “disk,” why bother going through me for prints? First step to changing that is — there will now be a fee per Full resolution digital file. Each of these files are valuable, and it’s high time I place a higher value in these files! The second step is offering print packages so people can clearly see what they’re getting for what. Unlike many other studios, I will not impose limits on poses for print package – if the package allows for 8 prints you may choose up to 8 poses too. Package will be at 3 price points – $50, $100, and $200. To see the specifics feel free to click here

It is my hope that these revisions will help to ensure a positive portrait experience.

Portrait Sessions in buffalo NY

Chuck — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 22:24:06 +0000

Looking for a portrait Photographer in Buffalo NY? Look no further! Portrait sessions can take any form! For most it’s a great way to capture their family as it grows, but, as you can see in the featured image – not all portrait shoots are Mom, Dad and the kids. Portrait sessions are for everyone, not just the kids.

In today’s world, everyone has a decent camera. The images produced even by cell phones are getting better and better every year. So it does become harder and harder to justify the expense of using a professional photographer. It’s my hope that these images you find here in my portfolio may remind you that there IS in fact a reason to hire a pro. Whether it’s a family session, a senior session, couples, or just one guy that really loves his motorcyle, there is a time and a place for portraits.

Look below to see more examples of just regular old people that wanted nicer pictures than their iphones could capture!

Portraits!!!

Chuck — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:55:27 +0000

With the closure of the Sears and Walmart portrait studios, where are all of you in Buffalo NY going to go for portraits? Why not give one of us local photographers a try? Some may scoff at the rates after getting in on the $14.99 deals from the big labs (note – their pricing structure is one of the reasons they closed!), but there are benefits to using a local pro. For one, you get to talk with your photographer - to consult with him. The other benefit is that the options are much greater – IE the big labs would never do your family photos on a beach, or on a trail at Tift Nature preserve, or downtown – the options are truly limitless and location photography. This leads to much more of a unique portrait experience – shots that stand out and make you say wow! And if that doesn’t suit you, a more formal approach can be had as well.

Chuck Alaimo photography would be very happy to fulfill your portrait needs. Spring is upon us, trees and flowers will be blooming soon. What a great time to think about family portriats, and senior portraits, or if you have a sweatheart, a couples shoot as well. If you would like to book a shoot, give me a call at 716 868 5989, or email at me@chuckalaimo.com
