John & Molly exceeded any expectations we had for my daughters shoot. Nothing was rushed, and Gabrielle went from nervous to comfortable in a matter of minutes. I would highly recommend John Ransom Photography..."

How do your photography sessions work?
When you choose Winship Studio as your portrait photographer, whether it be for a wedding, senior portraits, headshots, or just family portraits, we will first start with a pre-consultation to agree upon what you are looking for in your photographs. During the pre-session consultation, we will go over things like wardrobe, location, style, the overall 'look and feel' of the photographs, as well as what is most important: where will these photographs be displayed? After we have talked about what you want from our portrait session, it is time for photography day! Our professional portrait photographer will be there to direct and guide you through the session to capture the most natural looks.After we have taken your photographs, we will then narrow them down to select them for “The Big Reveal!” During this time, we will finalize the collection of photographs you have chosen to be displayed in your home or office and put your order together. When you place your order with us, you should receive it within a 2 week time frame. You can view more about our photography sessions and how they work on our ‘About’ page!
Can I order my photographs online?
We appreciate you choosing Winship Studio to be your portrait photographer, and we are so excited for you to display your new portraits of your wedding, senior, headshot, or team headshots in your home or office! Unlike some portrait photographers, we do not offer online ordering of your photographs. We will show you your photographs in-person because this makes the ordering process much more convenient, and you will receive your portraits faster!
