Jennifer Shell Photography travels within 60 miles of Morris or to the Chicagoland area to nab stylish, high-resolution portraits. For one hour, a professional shutterbug captures an unlimited number of photos, allowing clients to assume as many poses or change into as many chain-mail onesies and pairs of roller skates as they would like. After the modeling session, clients can take home five stylized, retouched prints. In addition, the photographer loads five color-corrected digital images onto a photo DVD or online, making them more accessible than fossilized photos embedded in ancient amber. Clients will receive a grand total of 30 digital images, which they can peruse on DVD or online, selecting additional photos to print for a fee to serve as ideal Christmas presents or apologies for T-balling neighbors’ mailboxes on golf-cart drive-bys.
