"Celebrate your family"



Mr.K's family had inquired at a couple of photo studios in town, to have their family portrait taken, but did not take up the offer because they considered it on the high side, and the delivery can only happen after six weeks. Mr.K's sister was due to get married in two weeks and that was the trigger that prompted the family to get a family portrait done before she leaves the nest. Imagine,Mr.K and siblings have taken leave from their jobs, got dressed, and simply hit the road, loking for Photo studio, with the determination to achieve their three year goal that day.

The urgency made Mr.K seek the help of his friend through his mobile. The friend mentioned of a studio name "Lux" or so, and asked him to check it out. This is how they walked into Lux Me Images. They saw the gallery, heard my presentation and decided to have portrait done immediately.

The family enjoyed the unique experience of making their portraits, sent in the captions the next day. '...Tang... de... Tang', the wall portrait measuring 24 x 40 tastefully framed was ready for delivery within 24 hours.

This is what Mr.K shared with me when he came to collect the portraits the next day. He was emotional, thanked me for the beautiful portrait, never had his family, ever had such an intimate moment, all bundled within an area of ten sq.ft, laughing and joking, able to feel the family closeness, & warmth, during the session.

He also said that he decided instantly to take up the Lux Me offer the previous day, even though it was three times more than the offer they had declined before coming here, all because of the quality of the work he saw and the wonderful reception they experienced.

I feel elated for having served such a customer, and pleased, to hear such nice words from him. He thanked me profusely for helping them, 'Celebrate their family togetherness'

I have learnt something from Mr.K ... that we should all 'Celebrate our family' before one after the other leave their nest of twenty-three years or so.
After all what will be left for the, 'remaining ones' are only beautiful memories aided by these 'tear-drawing' images on the wall.
