Why Choose gugwa?
Both of our studios are over 2,400 square feet which have been perfectly designed for portrait sessions. We offer quality images and prints that you and your loved ones will cherish forever.
Is there a difference between the two locations?
For a wider range of backgrounds and settings for your baby sessions, we highly recommend considering our Chicago studio. You can compare the styles and see examples below: Glenview Location & Chicago Location
What happens after we take the photos?
You'll have the option to review your images immediately after the session. Otherwise you can schedule a Selecting & Curating Session at a different time, to choose your favorite images for printing. During the review Soo will also let you know about our various print packages for you to choose from.
How many photos are taken during the session?
We'll take 500-1000 photos for 1-hour sessions and over 1000 photos for 2-hour sessions, which we'll edit down to the top 150-250 images for basic editing and color correction.
If I purchase all the digital files from my session, can I take them somewhere else to print?
We do not recommend printing color-corrected digital files as their pixel size is typically only suitable for screen display. Instead, if you want to print them without additional Photoshop editing, we do offer the option to place an order for 5x7" or 8x10" prints at a cost of $10 through our service.
What if I want two backgrounds with my gugwa session?
If you want to change outfit and background, you would need to book a separate session. Please note that the digital files and prints are priced based on background. It is possible to mix and match of solo picture and group pictures. You can review our gugwa session packages here.
Do you only take photos in your studio?
We are available to take photos outside and can offer you recommendations for locations. We also are available for event photography for your next birthday party or big celebration! If you have a request for one of these sessions, please fill out the form below.
