the company

My name is Brooke & I’m the owner and head photographer of Infinity Photography & Design. I discovered my passion for photography in 2004 where I was lucky enough to land an apprenticeship with a talented local photographer. While working with her I had the opportunity to photograph everything from people, to animals, to multi-million dollar homes. She also introduced me to the world of Graphic Design where I was able to create ads that were placed in nationally publicized magazines. I have traveled around the country taking children photos at promotional events. These experiences have provided me with great opportunities and learning experiences. Photography is my passion and I strive on creating nothing but the best for anything less just wont do.

We specialize in Portrait, Wedding, Commercial, and Event Photography. Graphic Design services are also available including: Commercial Design & Advertising, Custom Design Projects, Photo Restoration & Retouching. So what are you waiting for? Get a hold of us to schedule a complimentary consultation today. Stop dreading photo time, we know how to make it a memorable one. If you’re in need of commercial photography, design work, or marketing materials, look no further we have competitive pricing and know how to deliver cutting-edge designs.


the facts

THE SESSION

{DETAILS}
Sessions are by appointment only and Infinity Photography & Design is typically booked 2-3 weeks in advance. It’s advised to schedule early to ensure the best selection of date and time. Your session fee is due upon scheduling your appointment. Non-payment will open up your time slot to other clients. Payments are accepted via cash, check or credit card. You can pay for your session fee through Paypal under the “BOOK IT” tab on our blog.

ABOUT

{OUR PLACE}
We are currently located in the Spokane Valley off of Argonne Rd. We offer studio and on location sessions, as well as a mobile studio (we bring the studio to your home – extra charge). We have a full studio setup with lights, backgrounds, and several different props.

{ LOCATION}
Outdoor location settings offer the best lighting and also the best props, letting imaginations run wild and creating perfect and unique photo opportunities. If you have a location in mind you’d like to shoot at be sure to let us know. There is usually no place to change out on location so many times you may end up changing in the car. We highly recommend wearing a tank top and boy shorts perhaps, under your outfits to make changing easier while out on location.

HOW DO I VIEW MY PROOFS?

We will schedule your viewing about one-two weeks after your session. We typically come to your home for our viewings so that we can figure out how much wall space you have for your photos and what sizes will look best. We offer payment plans to all our customers to help them afford professional portraits. We do require 50% of your payment to be received before any orders will start to be processed.

WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY PRINTS?

Delivery of your final prints will be 2-4 weeks after you place your order. All portraits are unique and custom to each client. Upon delivery the remaining balance of your total order is due if you didn’t pay for it in full.

Once your order arrives from the lab, we will contact you to schedule a time to come pick up your images at the studio. If you wish to have your prints shipped to you, you will receive an email containing a tracking number with UPS so you can see when they will arrive. There is an additional fee for shipping prints.

RUSH FEES – If you need your prints sooner than the typical 2-4 weeks, rush fees are $50-$100 depending on items ordered.
