Focused on capturing timeless moments, we are a family run business where photography and fine art is a lifetime (41 years) passion. We specialize in portrait, family, children, wedding and event photography, as well as cars and horses. My partner Jacqui Austin (www.austinstudiosinc.com) and I share our beautiful state of the art studio located in a beautiful nature setting. Jacqui's paintings will also be of great interest to you. We do extensive processing of the pictures taken in order to give you the best images possible. Each photo we make is a combination of art and reality. In our studio, or on location, we will create digital images that you will be proud of sharing with family, friends, businesses and social medias. We are located on the Saanich peninsula (near Victoria) and can be contacted through www.pixreflections.com or by calling (250) 634-2895.
In the summer of 2003, a group of seven artists came together to open a collective gallery to have a permanent home to show and sell our work and to offer consignment space to other artists. We all pitched in to transform what was once a cafe into a gallery. The hard work paid off and in the early fall 'Arts Off Main' opened to the public. Shortly thereafter we were joined by a talented framer.
A-Star Art Parlour's face and body paints wash off super easily with soap/cleanser and water. Once you wash off the paint it helps with sensitive skin to moisturize afterwards, because the paint can tend to dry out your skin. If you want to keep the painted design on for the next day, don't wash the area and sleep on the other side. We all know how kids love to show off their face to their friends at school the next day. It will fade a little but majority of it will still be there in the morning.
