Reflections Studio of Photography
1812 Front Street, Scotch Plains, NJ 07076
Reflections Studio is a small, family owned and operated, photography studio that specializes in school, dance, and sports portraits. Reflections was started by Edward Gates in 1976, and was run by him for over 45 years. Our first studio location was in Scotch Plains, NJ on Mountain Ave. Edward began the studio as a family portrait and wedding photography business, before eventually transitioning to school photography as the main focus of the studio. Edward is now (mostly) retired, but still helps with school retake/makeup studio appointments.
Today, Reflections Studio is run by Jeff Gates (Edward's son) and Francesca Parayno. Jeff began working at Reflections part-time in 2012 as a photo editor, and then began working full-time and running most day to day studio operations in 2015. Francesca began working at Reflections in 2016. Jeff and Francesca are the only full-time employees of Reflections. If you reach out to Reflections, either Jeff or Francesca will respond.
Reflections still focuses on school portrait photography, and is open only during the school year (September-June). The studio is closed during the summer months, as well as the first 2-3 weeks in January. Our physical studio location, at 1812 Front St, is open by appointment only, as virtually all of our work is done on-location at our various school. Our studio location is primarily used for school retake/makeup appointments.
