100 % Guarantee

"If You Don't Look The Happiest & Best You've Ever Looked In Your Photographs - If You Don't Cry (or feel like crying) Tears of Joy When You Look At Them - You Don't Pay Me For Them."

Jimmie Mazon, Chapmanville, WV - "I'm grateful to have what I consider my own personal photographer."

"If you’re not THRILLED (not just satisfied) with your photos - If they don’t cause you to see the most beautiful you that you have ever seen in your photos when you first see them, then we will either give you all your money back, or we will create additional images at no charge to you.

No hassles and no hard feelings either. If you’re not thrilled, we don’t deserve to keep your money. We want you to LOVE your images we create for you."

Creative Portraiture is what we do. We use the finest tools, labs, techniques, and constantly study with industry leaders. That is I make this guarantee and personal promise to you.

These portraits will be completely meaningless to you unless they convey your real emotions - your real and true personality.

So, if FOR ANY REASON you feel that the portraits I create for you are anything less than perfect - if you don't actually cry when I show them to you for the first time - if you don't honestly feel that you look better than you've ever looked before, you don't pay me for them. It's that simple.

So, To Restate, Here's My Fantastic DOUBLE GUARANTEE:

If you are not THRILLED with your photographs - if you are not satisfied for ANY reason at all, I will do one of two things for you:

• 1st - At NO CHARGE, I will photograph your portrait session again, and make sure that anything that wasn't perfect is fixed, without you paying another penny.
• 2nd - If I am absolutely unable to cause your portraits to thrill you - if I'm unable to create photos that you will cherish forever, I will refund EVERY CENT you invested in your photographs. You don't pay for your portraits unless you love them beyond expression!

Even if I don't end up being your portrait photographer, make ABSOLUTELY SURE the photographer you choose offers this strong of a guarantee. If they are good, they should back up their work by taking all the risk off of you.

Crystal Howell, Chapmanville, WV

- "Just thought that I would tell you how much everyone loved the photos that they received for Christmas. They're totally gorgeous. Thank you again for doing them; we love them."

Karen Thomas, Jasper, AL

- "PICTURE PERFECT!!!!!! Just the way I would describe the picture that I received that Peggie took of Baby Ian. I never have to worry about how they are going to turn out. Peggie does a great/wonderful job. Thank you for everything. You make my living room a happy one by the pictures of Ian."

Lisa Flowers, Stollings, WV - "Wonderful!! Peggie Hensley is a very talented artist!

"She captured our family perfectly. I honestly do not have one negative remark towards/about our photographs. Amazing talent and very caring and gentle with young kids. My son fell in love with her! She will be seeing us in the near future! Outstanding eye in her work. It shows she enjoys the work she does in the incredible photography. Once again, Wonderful talent!"

Jimmie Mazon, Chapmanville, WV - "I'm grateful to have what I consider my own personal photographer.

"I have an extremely large family who are spread out, all I have to do it call pbh Art, Inc. and Peggie works her schedule to fit ours, and I have called often. Within the last four years I have used her services for a wedding, 75th birthday party, Easter pictures, Christmas cards and yearly family portraits. In our last portrait we had 15 family members including 7 small children. The pictures were breathtaking.

I have and will continue to recommend pbh Art, Inc. Peggie is experienced, patient and so easy to work with, and the best part are the pictures, they are always beautiful!"

Diana Clay, Logan, WV - "You've heard that "small town living" can't provide you with the extras in life? Wrong!

"No need to travel to a city. Peggie's skills as an artist extraordinaire have been channeled into her photography. I have watched her for a number of years now through our teacher consultant relationship with National Writing Project. We have traveled together and she has an eye for the most amazing and unusual shots that stick in our minds like only great artwork can. On my shelf at school, I have a picture taken of me with one of NYC's policemen. St. Patrick's cathedral is in the background, and it's an amazingly realistic picture of a simple day in the life that is captured for the future.

Also, she has a skill in the studio that I have not seen from other experiences. I took my aging dachshund, Hubert, to her facility for some pics to show the gray that happens with age and to have a memory of his later years. She was so patient with my fur kid and the results were so good that I could not stand for her to destroy any of the proofs. I took all of them, plus a few enlargements for my wall and my human kids. Many of my family friends got wallets also.
You will not regret your choice of pbh Art, Inc. to help you remember times in your life."

Jennie Tanner - "Peggie is an artist and uses her artistry in her photos.

"My husband and I had our photo made recently. It was beautiful. Our session was relaxed and enjoyable. Peggy uses her skills to bring out the best in her clients, and her ability to use her artistry brings forth a beautiful portrait."

Jessica Linville, Logan, WV - "My husband, Mitch, and I would recommend pbh Art, Inc. without hesitation.

"Peggie provided us with stunning maternity images, despite my hesitation to be photographed during a time in which the body changes so very much. The shoot was relaxed, the lighting was incredibly flattering, and as a result, we have two very special photographs hanging in our son's nursery which will always serve to remind us of that very special period in our lives. Someday, Bronson will look at those photographs and know he was growing inside my belly when they were taken.

Just last night, Peggie photographed Bronson at nine days old. We are overjoyed with the results of the session and will have a difficult time trying to narrow down our selections! Of course, as proud, first-time parents, we believe our baby boy is breathtaking; now we have photographic proof!

Peggie was wonderful with Bronson, ensuring he was comfortable and warm and even calming him into a peaceful sleep so that his pliable little body could be molded into classic newborn shapes. Like the maternity photographs, we will cherish these images for years to come, and while we are in no hurry for Bronson to grow, we look forward to future sessions with Peggie throughout his first year and beyond.

Peggie is an artist who puts much thought and care into her work as a photographer. She is honest and open to ideas and suggestions, and her studio is welcoming, laid back and pressure-free."

Jim Morrison, Chauncy, WV

- "Peggie, you were the perfect fit with my daughter. It couldn't have gone nearly as well with anyone else. Jessie loved working with you, and the beautiful scenery outside your studio was great for the outdoor and country themes that were so important to us. Thank you very much."

Tyler Hensley, Danville, WV - "She tries her hardest to make sure you are comfortable in her space and lets you jam to whatever music you want to.

"My senior pictures were amazing and hopefully we will have future appointments for family photos. My mother & son photos were also beautiful. Peggie, you are very creative and talented. I am hoping your business sets off and you will be the best photographer ever! :)"

Tasha Workman, Chauncey, WV - "Mrs. Hensley is great at many things like being a teacher, creating art, and photography.

"This woman is the one that inspired me and taught me everything I know about Art. So, I was thrilled when I got her as my photographer. She did a wonderful job. She makes your personality come out in your photos, and that takes skill and talent. So, I highly recommend pbh Art Inc. for any of your photo taking needs. "

Leonnah Browning, Logan, WV - "I got my senior photos done at pbh Art and I absolutely loved them!

"Having someone with an artistic background brought out the natural being in my photos unlike other photographers. It looks like you in the photos rather than someone you don't recognize."

Paula Farnsworth, Hickory, NC - "Thanks again for taking Trevor's senior pictures.

"We have heard nothing but good things about them. You did an awesome job!!!!"

CMS teacher - "These truly are the best pictures that I have seen of our ball teams.

"I would like to schedule a shoot with my girls sometime at your studio..."

Julie Alderman, Chapmanville, WV - "Thanks Peggie! You should see the big picture of the girls on my wall.

"It is my dream come true, I can just see myself still loving it when they are grown!"

Colin Crowley - I love them. You did a great job.

Preparing For Your Photo Session

What to Wear?

Also from Knapp's blog, What Is The Most Important Thing? - family portraits.

Blogroll

What's the first thing you do when you get a great idea?

(Or think you might have a great idea?) If you're like me you google it. And like me that might lead you down a rabbit hole that transitions into a gopher hole that morphs into a black hole. Sometimes we find exactly the inspiration we need and sometimes we just find, well, more stuff! Information Cubed X 1000!
