The Difference
This will be a new feature on our Website. Since the page is still under construction, here is a preview...
Clients letters along with some of their images will be included here. I love hearing why you chose to have a “Wancket Portrait” and what you cherish about your images. Here are some examples of what our clients continue to tell us:
Style of Portraiture. A Wancket Portrait has a distinctive style that sets it apart.
Always Audrey Wancket Behind the Camera. Clients know that the portraits they see are my work, not an assistant, and they can be assured of the same creative vision for their portraits.
Unique location. Beautiful midwest scenery that charms clients from near and far.
Quality, perfection. There is no such thing as “good enough.” I have been accused of being a perfectionist, and that is true and OK with me.
Attention to details. We know what it takes to design and create a portrait. We help the clients plan clothing and accessories so they are prepared without the stress on the session day.
The whole experience is fun and rewarding: From the first phone call through the planning, session, portrait presentation and finished portraits, 'the experience was emotional and fulfilling'.
The sessions are not rushed or crowded. There is always plenty of time, even with a difficult child or fussy baby. We have the experience to work with spirited children and, of course, love a challenge.
Framing. With over 500 frames to choose from, we have the ability to meet any style and budget for framing. We help you choose your frames so your art is framed properly with regard to beauty and longevity.
Wancket Studios is comfortable and capable of working with your pets. We even have an equine studio for horse enthusiasts.
Our clients tell us how comfortable we make them feel. We understand how to accentuate each subjects best features.
If you have any other thoughts to share, I would love to hear from you,
Audrey
I posted this image on facebook and I could not believe all the great comments. As many of my blog readers are not "facebookers", I thought I would share this here as well. Mason cam in just under two weeks old for his fist portrait. We photographed him with his mother for the main look but thought a whimsical holiday portrait was important as well. Is he just the sweetest little Christmas gift? Any how feel free to comment...
By the way we are working on a valentine baby image if you know anyone that is expecting in the next few weeks.

Today is the first day of 2010 that we are back at the studio. I am so excited for this year and have many new backdrops and ideas to implement. Kate and I are spending the morning returning all the phone calls from our week off. You know it is going to be a great start when several are to schedule brand new babies. Of course, I did have to take down the icicles that grew this last week so we could get in the door.
I hope to see all of you this year,
Audrey
I wish all of you a very happy and healthy 2010.
I cannot believe how quickly 2009 went by. You would think with the turmoil in the world and the U.S. economy struggling that the year would have crawled by, but it didn't for me. 2009 held many things to be thankful for both personally and at the studio.
I am looking forward to a great 2010.
All my best this year to you and your families!
Audrey
p.s. I am finishing up the studios "Resolutions" for the year-#3 is to blog more often...
Photographing Newborn babies here at Wancket Studios is becoming a very common event...and we are loving every minute of it. In fact if we have a week without a baby, it seems like we are missing something. I think all babies should have a portrait before they are two weeks old. There is something so profoundly beautiful at this stage when babies sleep so peacefully and contented.
Clients that are expecting a baby can call and let us know delivery dates. We are very flexible with scheduling these sessions as time is of most importance. Look at these sleeping dolls.

This is a brief description on what a certified professional photographer is from the www.Certifiedphotographer.com website.
When you hire a photographer, you want the best—but ensuring that you get the best photographer for the job can be a difficult task. That is where we can help.
As the leading certifying agency for imaging professionals, the Professional Photographic Certification program is recognized throughout the industry. When you see a photographer displaying Certified Professional Photographer seal, you can be sure that he or she is among the less than 3% of all imaging professionals who have successfully completed and maintained our requirements.
Those who have earned the Professional Photographic Certification have passed a comprehensive written exam measuring their technical expertise, and have successfully submitted their work to a panel of judges for review and approval.
Every five years, a photographer must renew his or her credentials by participating in continuing education programs and periodically submitting work for critical evaluation. This helps assure you that certified photographers maintain their level of expertise and continue to develop new skills and techniques.
I have always believed in pursuing higher education in photography along with the challenges of industry accreditation. I have been a certified photographer for over 15 years with re-certifying every five years.
Whether you are choosing a photographer for portraits, wedding or commercial photography, look first to be sure they are certified...
This October, Audrey Wancket and Wancket Studios will participate with an elite group of photographers around the country in a very special family portrait promotion. Throughout October, we will celebrate “Family Portrait Month,” a wonderful opportunity for you to update your family portrait (or portraits of your children), and help to support Operation Smile, which treats children around the world who suffer with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities.
Along with other studio members of Professional Photographers of America (PPA), we have pledged to contribute $25.00 from each session to PPA Charities, which has chosen Operation Smile as its charitable partner.
What’s more, we have decided to have a few delightful portrait products not offered at any other time where the proceeds will also go directly to this great cause. Just a hint:
“Smile Cards” This set of 5 custom printed cards that feature your portrait on the front and Operation Smile's logo on the back send to your special friends and relatives...
Visit the studio to see the other "portrait " gifts and how you can help save a smile.
