Walt Jedziniak - Founder

I’m Walt Jedziniak — a Connecticut-based portrait photographer, husband, father of three, and proud East Hampton resident for over 30 years. Photography isn’t just my full-time job; it’s my passion. In fact, I like to tell people I haven’t “gone to work” a single day in decades!

I started this studio to create something real: not just some nice images, but a genuine memory you can hold onto. Whether it’s a mom seeing her own beauty while caring for her children, a shy teenager feeling like a rockstar in front of the lens, or a family genuinely laughing and enjoying each other’s company, my goal is to capture the authentic moments that matter.

Based right here in East Hampton, my studio is designed to be a complete, stress-free oasis. I partner with a professional hair and makeup artist who meets you on-site, meaning your entire session—from start to finish—happens in one relaxed space. Whether you’re a seasoned pro in front of the camera or completely terrified of having your photo taken, my job is to make you comfortable enough to forget the camera is even there.

It’s not just an image. It’s an experience — and I’d love to build one with you.

— Walt

Frequently Asked Questions

We start with the discovery call.  Reach out through the contact form or call 860-338-3134. Walt will follow up with you personally to discuss your needs, start planning your session, and schedule the consultation and session dates.

We have a session fee that includes the in-home consultation, the hair and makeup professional, the photo session itself, the viewing session, and the in-home wall art installation. The session fee also includes an image credit.  Details are discussed at the discovery call.

This depends on the type of session, and if you are looking for a seasonal location.  Please allow 2 to 3 weeks to schedule a call, a consultation, and the actual photo session. 

Either in our East Hampton studio or on location — your backyard, a favorite park, by the river, an athletic field, or whatever location feels special to you. We’ll plan out the perfect location in our initial conversation.

Our in-home consultation will help you decide upon outfits and take that stress out of the process. We like to recommend different outfits and styles to capture your unique personalities. It’s not uncommon to photograph a woman in a glamorous gown and exciting lingerie in the same session! 

Headshot proofs are viewed immediately with the edited image delivered in a day or two. For most portrait sessions, we have a viewing session about a week after the portrait session.  Final, edited products are then delivered in 2 to 3 weeks. 

Absolutely! Please reach out as soon as you know your conflict and we’ll find a new date — just try to give as much notice as you can. Things can happen, especially with weather and an outdoor location.

The privacy of our clients is our top priority. Your images will never be shown, shared, or used anywhere without your specific permission. The images that you see in our galleries are those for which clients have allowed their use. 

Yes — dogs, cats, even horses! (though not in studio) Sessions are paced around your pet, with plenty of treats and patience.
