Q. Where is your studio?
A. pbh Art, Inc.'s studio is in the Chapmanville area of Logan County, West Virginia. It is open by appointment only and most of our clients are from Lincoln, Logan, Mingo, and Boone Counties. We have a fabulous studio on acres and acres of WV beauty: creek, hills, pastures, barns, old buildings, farm animals, horses, etc. But we like in the studio best!

Q. Why the name pbh Art, Inc.?
A. Peggie B. Hensley is the artist behind pbh Art, Inc. A portrait artist with arthritic hands, photography became her creative outlet. Paintbrushes, paint, canvases, etc. were replaced by Canon gear, studio lights and equipment, and Adobe software. But the artistic vision and passion is the same.

Q. How long will a session take?
A. That depends on several factors. If you know you're only interested in one great shot, we might be finished in five minutes. If you want to change outfits and sets, it might take several hours. With children, booking a two hour block of time permits resting, feeding, soothing, and other strategies that guarantee good photographs.

Q. What about prices?
A. As the mother of four grown children, I know all too well how important professional portraits are! And I regret not having more of them! My goal as a photographer is to create images that you can leave on your wall forever without growing tired of them. (I have several of those still on my walls, 30+ years after investing in them. They are priceless. The photos I got from cheap, passing through photographers have been long ago discarded. Cheap is cheap.)

You will easily find cheaper studios (or mall photographers, or Uncle Bob or Aunt Betty) to take pictures of you and your family. But if you want portraits that will make you smile each time you look at them, if you want a 100% money back guarantee, if you want your memories recorded artistically, comfortably, and with attention to detail, I hope you will call me so that we can discuss your needs and how I can meet them. I promise I won't empty your wallet. And you will love your photographs! You will feel like they are worth every dime you pay for them. Guaranteed.

Q. Do you make selective color photographs?
A. Yes, selective color artistry (one part in color, the other part of the photograph in black and white or sepia) can be added. I caution you to be careful with selective color. It is probably a trend that will 'date' your images.

Q. What do you charge to add my name or the year to my wallets?
A. We add name and/or year to wallets when requested at no additional charge.

Q. What about black and white photographs? Do you charge extra for that?
A. No. You may choose to have one or all of your images processed as black and white photographs, at no extra charge.
