Revolution Studios offers pet photography!!!

At Revolution Studios we make sure we take care of our pet super stars too! Our pet photography style is clean and modern while showcasing your pet’s personality and physique. Our pet portrait packages include pet and owner shots as well as pets individually.
Revolution Studios  has been rockin’ NC and beyond for over a decade. From Dogs, Cats, Birds, and yes even Reptiles Revolution Studios can capture your pet’s personality and attitude in one of our fun pet portrait sessions.
Pet portrait sessions can be done on location or in studio or for those who do it “Hollywood style” you can rock our combo photography session featuring both! Your vision is important. Together we will discuss and plan, so your pet photography session is your definition of perfect!
Your pets may be excited, nervous, or anxious during their photo session as they will be introduced into a new environment. This is all completely normal and nothing to get upset about. We allow for extra time for your photographer to get to know your pet before we start your pet photography session. If your pet is slow to cooperate we ask you refrain from getting angry with the pet. We simply will allow a little more time to build that trust during the pet photography session. During your photo session, you will work with the photographer acting as his assistant. The photographer will be capturing as many pics from multiple angles and your help is essential in a successful session. Don’t be afraid to communicate with the photographer about your pet as you know him best!
If you are going on location or visiting our commercial studio in Cary NC don’t forget to bring your pets favorite toys and treats! Any additional items such as beds, blankets, and outfits are great to enhance your session as well. Last but not least don’t forget to have your pet clean and groomed within a couple days of your session so we are able to capture your pet super star at their best!

The Balance

Well normally we would be writing our weekly blog about a posing class, how to prepare for a session, lighting, or our business ethics, but today Somer and I are on vacation with our five kids. Yes five kids!!! (Most people can’t believe we have five kids but I’m here to tell you that I counted them this morning and sure enough we have five.) Somer and I value any and all time with our children as we were both married previously and share our children’s time with our ex’s. With that said, I thought I would share our thoughts on the value of a vacation from the perspective of the owners of Revolution Studios.


Here at Revolution Studios we work 5-6 Days a week. We reserve Monday – Friday for all Headshots, Modeling Photography, and Portrait Sessions including: Boudoir, Bridal, Engagement, Senior, Infant, Child and Family Portraits. Our wedding photography usually occurs about every other weekend on average. Although we receive many requests for our portrait work during the weekend we simply have to refuse as we know the value of making time for our family.

I have heard multiple times that the Europeans have mastered their work/ personal ethics. I saw some of this first hand when I went to Italy while in the Marine Corps. All of the retail shops would open late, and close for about 2 hours during lunch time and then work through mid to late evening. Their reasoning was that they would work morning hours and then need a mid day break to take a long lunch, run errands, take a nap, or do whatever they wanted. I was also told that most Europeans take 30 Days of vacation on average a year. In America the average is about 1-2 weeks. Interestingly enough, did you know that all Military Personnel get 30-Days Paid Vacation a Year from day one no matter what rank you are? With one of the toughest jobs in our nation, our government still knows the value of giving our troops time to relax and take a break. Pretty impressive.

To help maintain the balance at Revolution Studios, we are trying to take about 30 days vacation as well. In the past 12 months Somer and I have gone to San Diego, Miami, Las Vegas and Orlando (twice). I can assure you that the balance pays off. We come to work much more refreshed and focused. Creativity takes inspiration, a fresh mindset, outside perspectives and a positive attitude. These things would be hard to attain without time off and away.

So anyway, we are surrounded by theme parks, our kids going a thousand miles an hour and all of the rewards of being our best, away from work. We are truly blessed to be entrepreneurs here in America and given these opportunities by our Lord and Savior. We wish you the same blessings!!!

GREATEST JOB IN THE WORLD

“You have the greatest job in the world” is a comment we hear frequently at Revolution Studios. It is a rewarding complement to say the least and we do not take it for granted. Owning and running one of the most successful commercial photo studios in the Triangle has been challenging but even more rewarding. Hearing our client’s feedback regarding their perspective on our service simply reinforces why we got into the business in the first place.


The studio is growing and evolving more than ever. In the past year we have grown our portrait business over 350%, hired a digital retouching artist, purchased all new photo and computer equipment and up-fitted a truly unique and modern studio that is like no other. Dan and Somer will be the first to tell you that they feel blessed for the growth of the business and credit the Lord first and foremost.

We are making yet another change and placing a serious commitment to this blog, so that it acts as a voice of our studio as well as showcasing our latest work. Here you will find articles about how we approach photographing our clients, standards and practices with our studio, new trends that we are setting. We hope you enjoy learning more about “Our Greatest Job in the World.”
