Frequently asked questions
General
AC Timeless Photography was born out of a simple belief: that everyone deserves to preserve their precious, timeless moments with beautiful, professional photos. My husband Austin and I started this studio together because we wanted to build something meaningful in our community, something that felt personal rather than transactional.
Austin brings a unique set of credentials to what we do. He spent nearly a decade in professional sales and business development, holds an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate for drone photography, and is a retired volunteer firefighter. He also brings 20+ years of photography expertise to the table. He handles the business side of things so I can focus on what I love most — being behind the camera.
I’ve been passionate about photography for as long as I can remember. Combined with nearly 20 years of experience working with children and families in a childcare setting, I’ve built a style that’s relaxed, fun, personal, and focused on drawing out the real you — not a stiff, posed version of you. Some of my absolute favorite shots have come from the moments in between.
Our studio is located at Suite 820 inside Tanger Outlets in Washington, PA — easy to find, plenty of parking, and designed to feel comfortable the moment you walk in. We serve families, professionals, and creatives across Washington County and the greater Pittsburgh area, including Canonsburg, Peters Township, McMurray, and Bethel Park.
We’re not a faceless studio. We’re Austin and Meredith Hammett — and we genuinely can’t wait to work with you.
We do a little bit of everything, honestly — and that’s by design. Here’s what we shoot most:
• Family Portraits — from young families with little ones to multi-generational sessions, this is our bread and butter
• Professional Headshots — whether you’re updating LinkedIn, building a personal brand, or need something for your company website, we’ll get you a shot you’re proud to use
• Senior Pictures — Class of 2026/27, we see you. Senior sessions are one of my favorites because every child has such a unique personality to capture
• Children’s Photography — solo sessions for birthdays, milestones, or just because they’re only this little once
• Sports Portraits — we work with athletes of all ages and skill levels, from youth leagues to high school varsity
• Comic Con & Convention Photography — we’re official photography partners with Garden State Comic Fest, Liberty Comic Con, and Happy Valley Comic Con, bringing professional celebrity photo op experiences to fans
• Weddings — intimate, relaxed wedding coverage for couples who want great photos without breaking the bank
• Drone Photography — Austin is FAA Part 107 certified, so we can offer aerial photography for weddings, events, real estate, and more
• Photo Restoration — have an old damaged photo you want to bring back to life? This is one of the most meaningful things we do

Not sure which package is right for you? Just reach out and I’ll help you figure it out.
It depends on the package you choose — that’s how we structure everything, around your time. Our shortest studio option is a quick single family photo, and sessions go up to 2 hours. If you’re booking an out-of-studio session, we offer 30 minute, 1 hour, and 2 hour options. When in doubt, I always say give yourself a little more time than you think you need.
You’ll have your digital images within 3 to 5 days of your session. I know the wait is the hardest part, but I want to make sure every image I deliver to you is one you’ll be proud to hang on your wall.
Yes — and this is one of my favorite things we offer. We print right here in our studio, which means you don’t have to chase down a third party or wait weeks for an online order to show up. We can have your prints ready quickly, and the quality is something I’m genuinely proud of.
Here’s what we offer:
• 4x6 Print — $0.74
• 5x7 Print — $3.00
• 8x10 Print — $5.00
• Wallets (Set of 9) — $5.00
Whether you want a classic print to frame or wallets to hand out to family, we’ve got you covered right here in studio.
This is one of my favorite questions because it makes such a big difference in how your photos turn out. Here are my go-to tips:
• Coordinate, don’t match. — For family sessions, pick a color palette (2–3 colors) rather than dressing everyone identically. It looks more natural and polished.
• Avoid busy patterns and logos. — Solid colors and simple textures photograph beautifully. Graphics and text pull attention away from your faces.
• Dress for how you want to feel. — If you’re most comfortable and confident in what you’re wearing, that comes through in every shot.
• Bring options. — If you’re not sure, pack a second outfit. We can always do a quick change during your session — and we have a private fitting room in the studio for exactly that.
• For headshots, — think about your industry. A teacher and a corporate executive shouldn’t dress the same for a professional photo — dress for the role you want to be seen in.
And here’s something that sets us apart — we have a private fitting room right in the studio. So if you want to bring multiple outfits, do a quick change mid-session, or just need a moment to get ready before we start, you’ve got a comfortable private space to do that. No rushing in a bathroom or changing in your car.
When in doubt, send me a message before your session and I’m happy to give you my honest opinion.
Absolutely — it’s one of my favorite parts of this job. I have a background in childcare, so I know how to work with little ones at every age and energy level. Some of my favorite portraits ever have come from unscripted moments with kids. Don’t stress about getting them to sit still — just bring them in and let me do the rest.
Honestly? Because we believe everyone deserves beautiful photos — and we love what we do.
Austin and I started AC Timeless Photography because we wanted to build something together that was rooted in our community.
We take working with families — especially kids — seriously. Both Austin and I hold current Pennsylvania state clearances and background checks, including the PA Child Abuse History Clearance, PA Criminal Background Check, and FBI Fingerprint Clearance. We maintain these not because we have to, but because the families who trust us with their children deserve nothing less.
