family session
SILLY, LIVELY, AUTHENTIC
It was a tradition in my family to take photographs at the same park every year so we could see how each one of us had grown. I believe family photographs truly are treasures that can be looked back on year after year. It is my goal to capture your family’s personality and give you professional quality photographs to add to your family album. I focus more on capturing moments, real moments, with your family like laughing, hugging and playing together because those are the moments you remember! These sessions can take place at an outdoor location or in your home for a more intimate session.

the process
Contract and Deposit
I will send you a link to book your time slot! The best time for lighting will be about an hour before sunset, but I also recommend working around nap times if that applies to you. Once details are decided, I will email you a contract and invoice. A signed contract and 50% retainer will be required to book your session. Both can be done online! After I receive these two things, your session will officially be booked!
The Session
My favorite part! We will either meet in your home or at an outdoor location and go from there! Be prepared to move around, sing, be goofy and have some fun! My biggest tip is to let kids be kids, keep moving and keep your happy faces on. It’s way more enjoyable for everyone!
Weather
Clouds are actually great for photographs because they block out the harsh shadows, but sun can also add an element of warmth so both are great! If the weather on the day of the session looks like it’s going to storm or be unbearably hot or cold we will reschedule.
Processing and Edits
The editing process takes 2-3 weeks. All photographs will be edited to photographer’s judgement and you will receive a mix of color and black and white images. We can always turn a color photo to black and white - just ask!
Delivery
You will receive a link to your online gallery where you can then download your photographs, which is yours to share! Be sure to save these photographs in a safe place on your computer and on the cloud because I will hold them for 1 year.
Products
You can use your online gallery to purchase prints, cards, albums or flash drives or you can take your digital photographs to print on your own. For recommendations just ask!
