Family lies at the core of everything we do. As a mother of two wonderful kids and multiple playful pets, our photographer Maureen Cryer appreciates the importance of creating an authentic visual record of your growing family.
Her inviting studio space is designed to set clients at ease for the best headshot and portrait photography possible. Indeed, a session at PaperKite involves more than posing for a photo—it showcases the deep bond between you and your loved ones.

Moments vs. Memories

Our Process
Step 1. Let's Talk
Let’s talk on the phone and schedule a time to meet for your pre-session consultation. We will go over what you are looking for, locations, what to wear, pricing, and see samples of what your custom artwork will look like.
Step 2. Portrait Session
On the day of the session, you and your family just have to show up and I will take it from there. Sessions are relaxed and fun.
Step 3. Ordering
About 7 – 10 days after your session, we will have your ordering appointment. This is where you will be able to see the best images and custom wall designs. Choose and pay for what you want to display on your walls and in your homes.
Step 4. Delivery
Orders will be available for pickup at the studio four to six weeks later.
