The Cooper Studios Difference

Photographic images, whether for portraits, commercial advertising or architecture, are more than just a product; they are works of art created to inspire or invoke emotion in the viewer.  The image is more than just digital pixels or film grain manipulated by the press of a button, it is a window into the creators mind.  Producing consistent and quality photographs requires years of education, training, and a natural talent for the arts, to create images that will last for generations or will successfully help sell your product.

Absolutely Wonderful! As a very busy family it is not easy to get a good family portrait, let alone a great one. Somehow, even though we have three very busy girls, (1, 3 and 12 years) the Coopers managed to capture each of their personalities perfectly. They were very entertaining and friendly, making it easy to smile. We finally have the beautiful family pictures that we have been hoping for. We had a wonderful time and cannot wait to do it again. Thank you Amy and Forrest!
