Studio is closed down now

Photo Studio Balbriggan is closed down

After operating in Balbriggan since 2012, Photo Studio Balbriggan is closing down. We want to express our sincere thanks to all our customers and supporters. Starting from January 1, 2023, operations are suspended due to economic pressures and personal reasons. Thank you for your understanding.

 

Studio is closed down now

Photo Studio Balbriggan is temporarily closed

Due to unforeseen and very upsetting circumstances, which I am not ready to disclose yet, the studio is closed until the end of the year 2023 or until further notice. During this time, we are unable to accept any new bookings. Our studio website will also be undergoing remodeling. All existing orders will be placed in a queue for processing. We will process each order as soon as possible, but please be aware that it may take significantly longer than our normal expected timeframes due to various limitations. We apologize for any inconvenience.

 

Processing time

Photography Service – Order Delivery Time Dilemma…

I am currently experiencing a high volume of orders, and the current processing time is three weeks from the day of placing the regular type of order. My apologies for any inconvenience – Kasia

In general, Ie believe that my clients deserve:

Good + Cheap = Not Fast

If you want the result of your order to be of high quality and simultaneously fall within a reasonable price range, it may not be delivered quickly. In such cases, every person, professional, and vendor involved in order delivery will have more time to create the best possible results. My aim is to maintain the price list within the mid-range of the client’s budget while providing luxurious photography products and services. These may be priced higher compared to the national market.

 

Out of studio – Summer break

Studio is closed for Summer break
I am on Summer Vacation till 12th of August. ☀️
For order collection please arrange till 2pm on Wednesday 3rd of August. You can still book your photo sessions online for a mid August and later. Bookings here. I might not be able to take the calls or respond to your email while on the break.
CU soon! – Kasia

Introduction of Art Picture Framing Glass

Museum Glass is the number one choice when it comes to protecting your valuable artwork.

Since September 2021 we have introduced the new art option of framing glass –

TRU VUE MUSEUM GLASS®

This art picture framing glass is the best glazing option available for valuable art, photographs and other important personal keepsakes. Let us present some of its features:

  • nearly invisible finish (it is 10 times less reflective than regular glass).
  • effectively blocks up to 99% of harmful indoor and outdoor UV light rays so framed pieces remain clearer and brighter for longer.

TRU VUE MUSEUM GLASS® is ideal for:

  • virtually invisible glazing that will enhance colours, brightness and contrast levels of all types of artwork, even posters.
  • optimal protection of valued diplomas or irreplaceable artwork against damage and fading caused by UV light.

Just see the difference with your own eyes.

Schedule studio meeting with Photo Studio Balbriggan to see the genuine example of photographic art displayed in a frame behind this fantastic TRU VUE MUSEUM GLASS®.

How to support my small, local business over lockdown

Lockdown and the Coronavirus pandemic have affected everyone’s lives in a variety of different ways, but small business owners like me, have been hit especially hard during this period. Despite long periods of “temporary closed” status and daily struggle, I’m fighting to survive and for the opportunity to be able to offer you my services again. I’m counting on local community and solidarity spirit more then ever and asking you now to support my business in this challenging times.

The good news is that there are plenty of ways to help out, even from the comfort of your own home.

Please see a few ideas how you can help support my small photographic businesses during lockdown and beyond.

  • Shop local if you want to support local businesses and buy local products
  • Leave a good review – the majority of shoppers use reviews to determine which services to purchase, and on average, read 7 reviews before trusting a business. Proving that giving a good rating or review on Google or social media is an easy way to raise the profile of a brand and persuade new customers to give them a go! write Google review for Photo Studio Balbriggan
  • Buy a gift card – If you want to help a business but don’t need their product or service immediately, buying a gift card is a great way to support them and show loyalty. It will help them navigate this uncertain and difficult period, aiding footfall post covid-19, whilst lending a helping hand now.
  • Try to reschedule instead of cancelling, where possible – If you have made a booking, instead of cancelling, look to reschedule when restrictions have been lifted. This is a great way of keeping the business going, whilst giving you something to look forward to when this is all over!
  • Spread the word – It’s worth keeping in mind that financial support is not the only way to help: simply telling a friend about a brand or following/ sharing/ liking a company’s social media helps much more than you would think.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter, With appreciation

Kasia – your local photographer
