Please don’t just drop in!

We love to see you, and we love a chat. However, just dropping in on a whim isn’t a great idea. Last week I upset someone because I was unavailable. Turns out I was out shooting. The studio was open but no Ian. Who, this lady just had to see. It also happens from time [...]

Some New Year changes coming to excitations.

Recycled timber frames. We stopped selling these popular frames about 18 months ago. However, to satisfy people who needed to match frames they already had on their walls we have been special ordering them in from time to time. We are unfortunately going to have to discontinue that practice. If anyone really really needs to [...]

On the home straight now… looking good for a close finish.

Only days to go until that most important day of all. Well it must be, after all the pressure we put ourselves under to achieve perfection and completion for the 25th of December. Here at excitations we have been burning the midnight oil. So much so that we’re concerned about the effect we might be [...]

Some things to remember when framing your photos.

Firstly I should make it clear that excitations does provide a framing service for our clients. However, we don’t mind if people choose to have framing done elsewhere. We do guarantee our framing and more importantly the pictures in the frame. Always trying to resolve any issues that maybe a result of  a framing problem. [...]

Quick excitations studio update.

Can we still have photos taken for Christmas? Fast answer is yes you can. We still have photography spaces left this weekend an a couple of nights after work. Then we’ll just have to take it day by day. Photography is easy to fit in, getting printing organized and framing is a bit harder, but [...]

You get what you pay for , if you’re lucky.

A follow on from yesterdays post about the demise of Linen Tie albums. Looking around at some of the stuff on offer, I had to remind myself of the old rule ” you get what you pay for”. We all seem hell bent on getting stuff at the cheapest price. Photographers it seems are no [...]

Linen Tie albums no longer available.

I know you’re saying who cares… well we do. Linen Tie albums have been a great economical way of putting your professional photos into an album that looks good but doesn’t cost a lot. Unfortunately as of this morning, we are advised that they are no more. That’s it no warning, no viable replacement, just [...]

Manangatang Debs behind the scenes.

Manangatang Debs, a quick look at what happens behind the camera. The crew from excitations were in Manangatang last weekend shooting 11 beautiful debs. So to were Tom and Pauline from O-line Videos. At debutante balls we tend not to see a lot of each other. Sort of like a relay race, I suppose. When [...]
