Photography

Ancelet Photography
I am taking appointments for weekends and one week night. I charge $50 for a complete session. I take the pictures and then edit them (meaning I touch them up, etc) and then hand you the disk for printing. You can take it wherever you'd like. I have a place I recommend and they are very reasonable quality is wonderful! There are no sitting fees and I usually end up with a minimum of 20 images that are great for printing.

Photo shoots are done at local parks or at your home. I can even do shoots downtown in the Market Square area. This is a great deal for Senior Pictures. 

Check out my website and e-mail me, Tracie Ancelet, if you'd like to book a shoot. I have lots of references :-)
