April H. says, "Pixie Light has always been our go to for all of our photography needs. Laura and Charna are passionate, professional, creative, and always collaborate with you to ensure you are happy with your experience. It was the easiest decision to have them plan our Itty Bitty Pixie Wedding. Both of us have been married before, but we still wanted a short ceremony that felt genuine and special (but not over the top). Pixie Light took care of everything! We had an initial meeting to discuss plan options, expectations, and how we can still execute a micro-wedding safely during the pandemic. Laura was so patient as we discussed a multitude of location ideas and ultimately helped us choose the best one for us. They coordinated the cake (it was incredibly delicious!!) and officiant for us, which was a huge weight off my shoulders. Our ceremony was written and personalized for us, reflecting both of our interests equally, and had us laughing and smiling for weeks afterward. My husband's vows were based on the Green Lantern oath, which I loved. That doesn't even cover the beautiful photography. Between two photographers, they were able to capture all of the candid, little moments. They even accommodated some individual pictures for my mom's 65th birthday. I couldn't be happier with the pictures- Pixie Light is amazing when it comes to photographic perspective and color contrast. The sunset shots they got are my absolute favorite. I can't recommend them enough. You'll have the event of a lifetime with Pixie Light." Read more

Professional photographer servicing all of Southeast, Michigan + the Toledo area. Offering a range of photography services from portraits, boudoir, events + more. Check out my website @ www.pixelsbyjames.com for more information. Photographing people. I've tried doing nature photography but it just doesn't have the same effect. People are far more interesting. Boudoir photography is my all time favorite. The sensuality and intimacy of the final photos is stunning every time. When you see a gorgeous boudoir photo you can't help but be awestruck for a moment....

Your photography questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Fash.

The average cost to hire a photographer is $100 to $250 per hour, depending on their experience. However, photography prices vary significantly depending on the type of event or photo session:

The standard tipping etiquette for photographers depends on the type of photo session or event and how happy you are with the photographer's service:

  • Tip a wedding photographer $50 to $200 if the photographer exceeds your expectations. If the photographer works with a second shooter, be sure to tip the second photographer separately.
  • Consider tipping a family portrait photographer, pet photographer, or newborn photographer if you're happy with the photo session. However, tipping is not expected for family portraits taken at a big box store like JC Penney or Wal-Mart.
  • Tipping a photographer is not expected for headshots, commercial photography, real estate photography, or architectural photos.

If you're happy with the photographer's service, post a positive review online and share their photos on your social media.

Follow these tips to save money when you hire a photographer:

  • Book a "mini-session" – a shorter photo session that lasts only 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Choose your favorite photographers and follow them on social media. Some photographers may provide deals and exclusive offers.
  • Hire a less experienced photographer. However, be sure to review their portfolio to confirm they have enough skill to meet your photo needs.
  • Purchase prints from an online retailer instead of ordering them from the photographer.
  • Bundle multiple photo sessions for a discounted price. Some wedding photographers bundle engagement and wedding photos. Other photographers offer a bundle for newborn photos plus additional sessions as your child grows.

Book a wedding photographer as early as possible, ideally as soon as you've confirmed the date with your venue. Headshot, commercial, pet, and family portrait photographers typically don't require as much advanced notice. However, a popular, in-demand photographer may be booked out several months in advance.

Follow these guidelines when searching for a photographer to ensure you find one who is the best match for you:

  • Look for photographers who specialize in the type of photography you want. A photographer who specializes in weddings won't be the best choice for a newborn baby photo shoot, and vice versa.
  • Review their online portfolios to confirm you like their photography style and aesthetic.
  • Read photographer reviews on Fash and Google.
  • Get a contract in writing before making a deposit.
  • Discuss the photo usage and printing rights to confirm how both you and the photographer can use the images. Photographers typically retain the copyright to the images, allowing them to use the photos for marketing and social media.

Ask these questions to help you choose the best photographer for your needs:

  • How long have you been in business?
  • What type of photography do you specialize in?
  • What is your photography style?
  • Do you have an online portfolio I can view?
  • How far in advance should I book my photo shoot?
  • What deposit do you require, and is it refundable?
  • Do you have a photo studio? If not, where will you take the photos?
  • What should I do to prepare for the photo session?
  • How will you deliver the final photos to me?
  • How long will it take to get the photos?
  • Do you offer printed items or photo albums?
  • Who owns the rights to the photos?
  • Will you use my images on social media or your website portfolio?

Reviews for Toledo photographers

Recent success stories from people in the Toledo area.
Sarah R.
Laura and Charna were very professional and patient. I have two young children who can be difficult. They impressed me by getting my children to cooperate and managing to get some great photos even when the kids weren't cooperating! They were surprisingly fast at getting my photos finished. I expected it to take longer as we had our shoot around the holidays. I highly recommend Pixie Light for all of your photography needs ❤️

From 1st meeting, consultation, planning & execution of the multi date projects, Josh & Chris have been straight up with me. I put on music concerts at my venue and Three Ribbon Studios are on site to A/V record them. After their post production work, they are sent to me for review and approval. Clarity of focus, AV sync and music quality: see for yourself at https://bluestagejams.com/category/video-archives/ From gear purchase recommendations, through installation, capture of shows and thru to final display pages these guys have been a pleasure to work with and deliver your moneys worth. When there are glitches, as in all projects, we quickly work out problems in an equitable fashion. TC DeLisle, BLUEStage Jams
