ROCHESTERfamilies.com October Advertiser of the Month
ROCHESTERfamilies.com ADVERTISER OF THE MONTH "Say
Cheese." No, you say you don't want to. That's
okay. Because at Olive Juice Studios kids don't have to
say cheese, sit still, look at the camera, or even smile
if they don't want to. The result. Great pictures that
parents love because the kids in the photos look like
the ones they know and love every day.
Olive Juice Studios, a photography business that
specializes in weddings and babies/children, offers
black-and-white, color, and canvas prints;
custom-designed baby books; Hey Baby! packages (4 photo
shoots in baby's first 18 months for only $199); and more!
