Wittle Pix, Infant Photography, now available at Chalet Arts, Starkville, MS


My good friends and amazing supporters at Chalet Arts of Starkville, MS will now be able to provide beautiful photographs of babies at their store for parents. Owner Mark Wood, his wife Lorie, and daughter Loren, and the rest of the team at the store came up with the the "Wittle Pix" concept. Chalet Arts specializes in great quality printing and framing. Additionally, they have an exceptional photographer on staff in Hunter Hart. By combining these components together, they can provide a "photo to print to mat and frame" service at one location. Instead of having to buy a special package package of prints, Chalet Arts will be able to specifically tailor prints to the customers' satisfaction. Customers could buy print standard 5x7's, 8x10's, and other typical sized photo prints on glossy photo paper if they desired, but they could also have a multitude of other sized prints on a variety of surfaces such as canvas. Prints could be immediately produced in the shop. For folks who desire matting and framing for their photos, Chalet Arts offers a wide array of framing options depending on your taste and budget.

Everyone on the staff will play a crucial role in the process from professional photographer Hunter Hart taking the photos, to Alan Fortenberry printing images, to Saxon Wilson and Hunter matting and framing photographs. In fact, Saxon also created the whimsical Wittle Pix logo. The Woods will take orders and do everything they can to create a wonderful experience for each customer.
