    The studio is open on an appointment only basis. Please call ahead to make sure we are available before you come in. Our goal is to give each appointment our undivided attention while we are working with them so having appointments allows us the ability to do this. We are typically open for appointments Tuesday - Saturday. We are open late on Tuesday/Wednesday and Thursday nights and closed on Sundays and Mondays. That being said, being open by appointment only allows us the ability to be open on Sundays and Mondays if need be during certain times of the year. Please feel free to ask if those days are all you can do. Feel free to call us at 508-867-5260 or text us at 508-341-5789 if you have any questions.
  • Can I have my portraits taken on location?
    Yes! Of course you can! Just give us a call and let us know where you are thinking of having them done! Rich is great a scoping out locations and helping you pick the time that will create the most epic portrait ever! We go on location for all types of portrait sessions. We will work with you to pick the best time of the day for the location you are hoping to use. We also have a variety of locations we can recommend depending on your goals for your final portraits.
  • I hate to have my picture taken!
    No worries at all! You are going to have so much fun. We hear regularly how quickly the time passes when people are being photographed by Rich and how much fun they had. You have nothing to worry about. There's plenty of time alloted to get you comfortable.
  • My school has told me who has to take my Senior Portraits!
    We photograph High School Seniors every year from many different schools. It's rare that a school can dictate who you have to have your portraits taken by. Typically, the photographer they tell you about is merely a suggestion. These are your senior portraits, you need to decide what's best for you. In the rare occasion that our images cannot be used in yearbook, many people still want Rich to be the one to create the pictures they get to share with family and friends! We work with many schools with all different requirements to get them what they need so your portrait can be printed in the yearbook.
  • How long do the sessions last?
    Well, every session is obviously different. One of the things Rich is known for is making every session fun and not stopping until he feels he has captured the perfect portrait. Most sessions will fall within the guidelines suggested on our online scheduling, but always leave extra room when being photographed by Rich because he wants to create an experience you will remember forever and always with a goal to give you that EPIC portrait you will remember forever.
  • What should I wear?
    That part is totally up to you! You want to show who you are, but also create a timeless portrait. The more simple, the better. We will send you some information with some suggestions on things to look for depending on the type of portrait you are interested in having done. You are more than welcome to include any props or something that reflects exactly who you are. In regards to senior portraits, many seniors like to incorporate their favorite sport, hobby, musical instrument or even their pet or car into their portraits!
  • Do you have a hard time with kids that won't sit still for their portraits?
    Richard is known for his ability to work with people of any age and make them feel comfortable. He makes everything about the session fun! When it comes to kids, he wins them over daily and no, we do not need a child to sit still and follow orders for the portraits. With Rich, it becomes a game for the children, they don't realize they are being photographed and instead think they are just having fun! We love photographing children and enjoy their spontaneity and innocence! We love to capture those moments you will never have again, things to remember for a lifetime!
  • How do I view my portraits that are taken?
    Thank goodness you asked! We have such an awesome way for you to see the portraits taken at your session for the first time! Rich takes so much variety in each of his session, that we have you come into the studio to view the images in a slide show to music. We do not post your portraits online for you to choose from. We prefer to help you choose ones that work best for you. Working together with you, we are then able to customize exactly what you are looking for and answer any questions you have at the moment you have them. We give you ample time to choose, typically viewing sessions run about an hour and a half so you can take your time and make sure you choose the images that are your favorite! Feel free to bring anyone along that you want to help you to make those final choices. It really is alot of fun to see them this way and much easier to make final choices than people think! Feel free to reach out with any quesitons you may have.
  • Do you offer Christmas Cards?
    We do! We offer a vareity of different options for Christmas cards from custom designed to a website you are welcome to view before your session! All of our Christmas cards may contain several images to capture the many faces of your children. Clients choose to create cards from their everyday sessions or our specialized Christmas background. The choice is yours. Here's a link to see some of our online backgrounds for cards: Click Here!
  • How far in advance should I schedule my session at Barnes?
    If you are thinking of senior portraits, our busiest time of year is from August-November. I would recommend having your senior portraits taken earlier in the season as you have a bigger variety of availabilty as well as time to reschedule for bad weather so that everything is complete before you go back to school. Sometimes we can be as much as 6 weeks out once August hits. If you are thinking August, schedule early! Fall foliage only lasts a couple weeks out of the year. It's better to schedule early and move your appointment as opposed to having to go on a wait list.
  • I love the Fall Foliage!  Can I wait until it's at peak to call for a session?
    Absolutely not! Fall is one of our most popuar and shortest times of the year. Foliage literally lasts about 2-3 weeks! If you are hoping for a weekend during the fall, you'll want to consider scheduling it 3 months ahead. If you are looking for a weekday, it is recommended to think about scheduling it at the latest early September. Peak foliage is typically around October 9-15th and sometime will extend beyond that, but every year is different so you can never be sure. Schedule early as to not be disappointed with us being sold out.
  • Can we do our portraits outdoors?
    Absolutely! I would have to say that outdoor portraits are probably one of the most popular things we do. Winter is beautiful, snow in unpredictible. If you are looking for leaves, Remember that outdoor portrait season, to be safe, is typically May 15th - October 15th. Times before and after those dates are considered gifts! You never know what Mother Nature has in store. If you have your heart set on a beautiful outdoor setting, keep those dates in mind. It doesn't mean we can't do other times before or after, it just means, the rich color is best during that timeframe. So schedule early to be safe!
  • Do you offer Gift Certificates and if so, how much should I purchase?"
    We offer Gift Certificates in any denomation. Alot of times, I tell people, the best part of giving someone a gift certificate is that fact that you are telling someone, you are on board for a portrait session they really want! The great thing with our studio is we offer so much variety. Whether you are looking for a Family Portrait, Newborn Portraits, Wedding Photography, Pets or anything else, you can give someone a token amount that they can use however they want! Gift Certificates can be ordered by calling the studio at 508-867-5260 or you can even get an ECertificate by ordering it online!
