"Learn
How JB Focus Photography Will Help You Tell The Story Of Your Child
Through Emotional, Sensitive Portraiture..."
Dear Loving Parent,
If Your Child Is The Most Important
Thing In The World To You...
If You Want A Memory You Will Cherish Forever...
If You Realize How Quickly Things Can Change...
This letter Will Be
Priceless To You...
Can you relate to this at all? I wake up every morning and wonder where
the time is going. Do you ever do that? Have you noticed that, the older you
and your children get, the faster time seems to fly? I'm very lucky - I get to
see my daughter on a regular basis, because she still lives at home but she
isn't the little girl she used to be and I still find myself longing for the
days when we used to play together or when I could bounce her on my lap. Those
times will always be precious to me, but they are gone forever. I thank God
that I have more than just the memories to relive them...
Your
Child Is Only Going To Be This Age RIGHT NOW - You Deserve The Perfect Portrait
To Capture This Moment In Time Forever.
When you find the right photographer, a photographer
who doesn't merely understand photography, but also understands how to capture
your child's best expressions, you have found a new friend you will value for
the rest of your life. This photographer is going to do something for you that
no one else in the world can ever do -- This photographer will STOP TIME, and
capture a cherished memory that you will be able to relive every day of your
life.
Nothing means
more to me than family memories. No one (other than maybe the rest of your
family) understands what your child means to you more than I do. That's
one of the reasons I became a professional photographer - I want to help other
parents hold on to their family memories forever, and never regret not having a
special photograph of their child created.
"You
have a wonderful rapport with children. Your ability to capture our daughter's
innocent expression and your attention to detail, right down to the placement
of her tiny toes in the basket, made this session so enjoyable. You take the
time and make the effort (always with success) to capture photographic memories
that we will treasure for a lifetime. We love your work, Larry! It's just that
simple”- Erika and Charles B.
Question:
"Just Suppose Someone Were To Create The Perfect
Portrait of Your Child - One Where You’re Child Looked Better Than Ever,
Happier Than Ever - A Portrait That Meant The World To You - What Would That Be
Worth?"
No price tag can be put on your family's memories.
They are and always will be priceless. So, why would you ever want to
gamble with those memories? It's just a question of whether you believe a
portrait of your children could really mean that much to you.
If you were
sick, and had to go to a doctor, would you want the "cheapest"
doctor, or the best one? Well, there's really no question. It's the same
thing with your family's memories. You can certainly find a cheaper
photographer in town. But there are other things to consider than just
price...
Don't
Make The Decision As To Who Will Photograph Your Child Until You Chat With Me.
There Are Things You'll Want To Ask The
Photographers...
There's no cost, and no obligation to just chat with me, and it will make the whole difference as to how great
your portraits will look. My studio number is: 330-722-3773.
Don't worry.
I'm not going to try to "sell you" on working with me. I'm already
very busy, and I don't need to pressure anyone to work with me as a
photographer. I'll just talk to you about your portraits, and help you
discover what your photographs could be like.
If you decide to have me create your portraits, great! If not, no
problem.
"JB
Focus Photography has warmth and magic. They are superb with child portraits.
His choice of lighting and props create unique and gorgeous photos which are
some of the best I have ever seen"- Marcia
Throughout This letter, You'll See And Hear From
Parents In The Medina-Strongsville Area Who Have Had Their Lives Forever
Enriched By the Lasting Memories Of Children's
Portraits ---
If you are like most parents, when
you first thought of having a portrait created of your child, you probably
pictured in your mind a tiny studio, with a painted background, some bright
lights, with your child sitting cross-legged on a stool looking nervous. Maybe
you even thought of a family member or friend of yours who fancies himself or
herself as a "bit of a photography buff." Maybe you thought of having
this person do a quick photograph of your child, and you'd call that good
enough. You're not alone. Most parents think this way at first....
Something made
you decide to check out my website. You probably saw some of the children's
photography I've created and said to yourself; "that's what I want." Maybe you realized that this
portrait of your child is so important, you're not going to trust it to just
anyone. Believe me, you've made the right choice.
The
5 VITAL Things To Look For In Your Child's Photographer - The Secrets 99% Of
All People In The World Don't Know:
By reading this far, you must at least be
considering having a portrait of your child created. Well, that's great! – You’ll
probably never make a decision that will bring you more lasting joy. However,
there are some things you NEED to know before your son or daughter steps in
front of any camera. By the time you finish reading this booklet, you will understand
everything you need to know about how to have the perfect portrait of your
child created -
the one you will cherish forever!
There are 5
VITAL things you must look for in a photographer! If your photographer is
missing any one of these things, your child's photographs will be much less
than they could be. Demand that your photographer does each and every one of
these things!
You may feel
like having a children's portrait done is going to be a lot of work on your
part. Well, it isn't! As long as you know the information in this booklet,
it won't be any work at all on your part.
....So, let's jump right in!
#1
Thing Your Photographer MUST Do:
Demand That Your Photographer GUARANTEE You Will Love Your Child's Portraits.
Most photographers WILL NOT DO THIS! Just suppose you
had a portrait created, and your son or daughter didn't look natural in it. The
photograph was "ok," but it didn't turn out spectacular. Should
you have to pay for it? ABSOLUTELY NOT! I believe strongly
that no one should ever have to pay for a photograph that isn't PERFECT. That's
why, to the best of my knowledge, I am the only photographer in Medina-Strongsville
to offer the following guarantee:
CHECK
THIS OUT -
A Guarantee Unlike Any You've Ever Heard:
If Your Child Doesn't Look The Happiest & Best He Or She Has Ever Looked In
These Photographs - If You Don't Feel Like Shedding Tears (Of Joy) When You
Look At Them - You Don't Pay Me For Them, Plus I will pay you $10 for your
trouble!
That's my guarantee and personal promise to you. As
far as I know, there's no other photographer around that will make you a
guarantee like this. These photographs will be completely meaningless to
you unless they convey the real emotions and personality of your child.
That's the only real reason to have a children's portrait created.
So, if for ANY
reason you feel that the photographs I create for you are anything less than
perfect - if you don't feel emotions tugging at your heartstrings, and want to
shed tears of joy when I show them to you for the first time, you don't pay me
for them. It's that simple.
Obviously, I'm
totally confident that the portraits I create for you will be well beyond
anything you imagine. I believe completely that these photographs will become
your most prized possessions - that, if your house were on fire, you would grab
them on the way out of your burning home. This is not arrogance. I can't stand
arrogance. No, this is a complete belief in my abilities to capture natural,
real emotions from children on film unlike anyone else. That's what I've
devoted my life to, and that's why I can't wait to photograph your child for
you.
So,
To Restate, Here's My Fantastic Better-
Than-Money-Back DOUBLE GUARANTEE:
If you are not THRILLED
with your photographs - if you are dissatisfied for ANY reason at all, I will
do two things for you:
1st - At NO ADDITIONAL
CHARGE TO YOU, I will photograph your child again, and make sure that anything
that wasn't perfect is fixed, without you paying another cent.
2nd - If I am absolutely
unable to thrill you - if I'm unable to create a photograph that you feel you
will cherish forever, I will refund EVERY PENNY you invested in them, PLUS I
will pay you an additional $10 for your trouble! You don't pay for your
photographs unless you love them beyond expression!
If I don't end up
being your photographer, make ABSOLUTELY SURE your photographer offers this
strong of a guarantee. If they are professional and really good at what they
do, they should back up their work by taking all the risk off of you.
"I Love Jim's Work, It's not
Just A Photograph in my eyes it's remarkable piece of art. The Picture He
Captured Of My Son Brought Tears to my eyes. I could actually feel the precious moments Of
His first 3 months by just looking at the picture."- Jennifer Moran
#2 Thing Your Photographer MUST DO:
Give Your Child Time To Relax & Become
Comfortable- BEFORE The Session Starts.
No child is going to look natural
and vibrant on film if they don't know and trust the photographer. That is just
a plain FACT. Plus, besides making the photographs turn out so much
better, think of how much more fun your child is going to have during the
session if the photographer has become his or her friend! There's
absolutely NO REASON why your child shouldn't enjoy having these portraits
created. In fact, if your child is NOT having fun, the photographs will not
turn out well at all.
If I
don't end up being your photographer, make ABSOLUTELY SURE your photographer
will meet with you and your child ahead of time, and AT NO CHARGE TO YOU.
I can't stress enough what a difference this will make!
#3
Thing Your Photographer MUST DO:
Have Fun With Your Kids & Remember They
Are Just Little People & Deserve Respect!
And At NO EXTRA CHARGE, If You Want, Your Photographer Should Create The Images
OUTSIDE! Instead Of Just In A Studio.
This is such an important point - for so many
reasons! First of all, as I mentioned earlier, one of the biggest challenges
for a photographer is making your child feel totally comfortable, thereby
getting totally natural and fun expressions on film. Well, in addition to
meeting the photographer ahead of time, one of the best things for your child
is to create the photographs in a outside location
that is fun for the child.
Where's the
place most children are the most comfortable? OUTSIDE!
That’s why we provide outdoor sessions. Not only will your son or daughter
have more fun being photographed this way, but it will also be a much more
unique setting.
If I don't end up being your photographer, make ABSOLUTELY SURE your
photographer will create images outside as well as in the studio, and AT NO
ADDITIONAL CHARGE.
URGENT!
MAJOR Myth, Mistake Or Misconception About Your Child's Photography:"There's No Rush To Have A Portrait Of Your Child Created Right
Now."
Before we continue with the
5 THINGS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER MUST DO, let's talk about this for a moment.
So many people think they have all the time in the world to have a portrait of
their child created.
But, you know
how things are. If you don't pick up the phone right now, and at least
call me to chat about your child's portrait, you will probably get swamped with
other things, and forget all about it. Then, before you know it, a year -
two years - five years have gone by. How different will your son or daughter be
by then? You see, time is ticking... and
it's never going to stop.
First,
Your Child Takes His or Her First Step. Next, Learns To Ride A Bike. Later,
Gets A Driver's License, then Graduates From High School, Gets Married and
Starts A Family Of His or Her Own.
These are precious times, and although things will
change, this moment never has to slip from your fingers.
Don't put this off. You know how life is. We put things off,
and before we know it, everything has changed. If your life is half as
crazy as mine is, year after year you find yourself frustrated at the things
you wanted to do, and never got done. A portrait of your child - as he or she
is right now - is something you deserve.
Plus,
You Will Save 10% By Acting Right Now!
Just suppose you call my studio and
chat with me. Just suppose you decide you would like me to be your
child's photographer. As long as you are one of the first 9 people to call me
(for your FREE chat), I will deduct 10% off the creation of your child's portraits
- NO MATTER WHEN YOU DECIDE TO HAVE THE PORTRAITS TAKEN WITH ME!
What does that
mean? You don't have to actually have the photograph created immediately - just
call me to chat. If, after that call, you decide you want me to be your
photographer, I'll photograph your child for 10% off my regular fee.
“The baby plan is
wonderful, capturing all your little ones “milestones.” They are kind, gentile
and understanding with infants, even difficult ones like mine. Creative and
innovative, they are simply the best”- Shannon Crawford
WHAT
SHOULD YOU DO RIGHT THIS SECOND?
(and why?)
Pick up the phone,
and call my studio. 330-722-3773
Even if it's after
business hours, still call right now. I've got an answering machine that is
just waiting to cheerfully take your message, and I'll personally call you back
so we can chat. Just let me know when is a good time to call
you back. Don't worry. I'm not going to try to "pressure" you
at all into working with me. Plus, there's no cost at all for us just to chat.
When you call, we'll
chat briefly about the things you need to know. I'll tell you a bit about me.
I'll answer all your questions about how to prepare for your child's portrait -
including things I don't have time to put in this letter. It won't be a long
call, but it will be one of the most important calls you make.

Thing Your Photographer MUST DO:
The Photographer MUST Allow At Least ONE HOUR To Photograph Your Child!!
This is a biggie.
Most photographers (especially the chain stores) are trying to crank so many
sessions through in a day, they only have a short
amount of time to photograph each subject. Did you know that the average child
photographer spends ONLY 12.5 MINUTES photographing a child?! That's insane!
Fine children's
photography is like a great meal in a fine restaurant: It CAN'T be rushed. The
photographer is like your personal chef, preparing the meal for you. The
photographer is going to have to "add all the right spices" into the
photograph to make it just right. This takes a bit of patience, and a lot of
focus. If your photographer knows that in 10 to 15 minutes the next client is
going to show up, you're not going to get the attention you deserve.
Now, it may not take
the whole hour to photograph your child. However, I ALWAYS set aside at least
one hour for every child session I book. I've done some sessions that only took
about 20 minutes or so to get a number of stunning images, but the point is -
it's vital to leave that much time open. Don't let your photographer rush
through this. Remember, these are your memories, and it's up to you to make
sure your photographer realizes his or her responsibility to you and your
child.
If I don't end up being your photographer, make ABSOLUTELY SURE your photographer spends AT LEAST ONE HOUR creating the perfect images for you - this cannot be rushed!
#5
Thing Your Photographer MUST DO:
Make Your Child Feel Totally Comfortable By Using A Favorite Stuffed Animal, 0r
Toy.
I love this part. You
see, this is a two-fold benefit here. It's going to make your child so much
more comfortable, and at the same time, it's going to add yet another level of
personalization to the final photographs. As you know, children love
familiarity. Nothing can calm them down like that "security blanket"
they love to haul around the house, or that special beat-up raggedy old stuffed
animal that Grandma gave them on their first birthday, or that cherished family
pet that is like their best friend.
Imagine the wonderful
photographs that will come from allowing your child to play with something that
is so special to him or her. Some of the most emotional and memorable portraits
I've ever created involved a child playing with a toy or a pet or even a family
music box. We've all seen children almost seem to "slip into another
world" when they play with certain things. Those are the moments I live
for, and those are the moments I'm going to capture for you on film.
If I don't end up
being your photographer, make ABSOLUTELY SURE your photographer incorporates
your child's favorite toy into the photographs!
Why
Your Child's Portrait Will Become More Valuable To You Than Anything
Else In Your Home:
Do you have a
photograph of your child that, if you were running from your burning home,
would be the one thing you save (other than your family members, of course) on
the way out? I only ask that because I know of a lady whose house was burning, and on her way out she actually grabbed her photo
albums containing the photographs of her wedding! Can you believe that? That's
how important those photographs were to her.
Do you have a
photograph of your child that means that much to you? Now, I'm not talking
about a "snapshot" that was taken during a family outing on the
Fourth Of July. I'm talking about a wonderful
photograph, created by an artistic photographer, that
not only captures your child's true expressions and personality, but also does
so in a way that you'd be proud to display in your home for the rest of your
life.
It's Not Too Late. This Moment, Right Now, Can Be Held Onto For The Rest Of Your Life - For You To Share With Family And Friends.
You don't have to make a big decision right now. You don't have to choose your photographer - you don't even have to decide that now is the time for your child's portrait. Just take one small step toward holding onto your child's happiest moments RIGHT NOW.
Just
Call My Studio, And We'll Chat. And,
If You Decide You Want Me To Create Your Child's Portrait, Save 10% Off It's Creation.
It's All Up To You.
You can call any
time. If I don't answer, just leave your name and number at the beep, and I'll
call you back. If you're thinking of this photograph as a GIFT FOR SOMEONE, let
me know when to call, so when I call back, I call at the correct time, and
don't spoil the surprise!
The Perfect Portrait Of Your Child Is Only One Phone Call Away...

Here's what some of our customers had to
say:
"Jim and Tammy,
Scott and I would like to thank you so much for the beautiful portraits you
have taken of our family throughout the past two years. What amazes us about your photography is that
you are able to capture the personalities of our boys. We have so much fun running around your
outdoor studio taking pictures of Parker doing the things he enjoys best. It means so much to us that you go the extra
mile and let Parker and Sullivan be themselves. We know our boys have lots of energy and are
difficult to photograph but you would never know it by looking at the
pictures. We would never have our family
portraits taken by anyone else but JB Focus.
Thank you so much for your creativity, talent, and genuine passion for
your work."- Scott and Samantha Chadbourne
"I just wanted to
thank you for the awesome experience we had at our session. Tripp and I were
blown away with the photos.
We are so excited to see them! Also, we really appreciate the thank you note
you sent. You are very professional and
we really appreciate it. (It’s so
refreshing these days!) Thanks so much"- Whitney Forstner
"Jim and Tammy, Thank you so very much
for our stunning photos! You
have perfectly captured the inner beauty we see when we look at Aevery. And it's
been years since I've looked at a picture of myself without
cringing! We may have found another photo or two we'd like so I'm
going to take on "marketing" your studio to everyone I know, I
need more pictures! I am looking forward to seeing you at 6 months!"
- Kelsey McMullin
All you need to do is take one look at their work
and you are a customer for life! JB's pictures are so
vibrant and full of life. Not only are the pictures exceptional, but the
owners, Jim and Tammy created a warm and personable environment that make you want
to come back time and time again! My daughter loves going to the studio to get
her pictures taken! Chain photography studios do not hold a candle to
JB Focus!"
Melissa Modzelewski
"Jim Is
So friendly and was so patient with my son, even though my little one was a
little grouchy Jim was still able to take a wonderful picture of a smiling adorable
little boy. I Would Love To Have My Son who is 6 months old photographed again
by Jim"-Chris k.
"I have
never seen a photographer capture my family with such skill and it was just so much
fun and the results made me cry.
