Family and Portrait
Do you remember the moment your child walked for the first time? Or how about that first time they looked at you and you realized you were in LOVE? Or when you brought home your new puppy and just needed to share their cute mug with everyone you knew?
That’s LIFE and it’s beautiful. If those moments are worthy of being shared, they are worthy of being shared beautifully. Combining emotion and composition, your photos will tell the story of you. And along the way, we’ll sneak a few traditional shots in too. Cause you know the grandparents want em.
I believe everyone deserves the most important moments of their life documented for generations to come…It truly makes me happy to do that for you.
FAQs
How many people allowed per session?
These sessions are intended for small groups so they are limited to immediate family members. No one loves feeling rushed or not taken care of so to ensure the best quality of service I offer to quote extended family sessions. For family and portrait sessions, all family members must be listed on the contract and only people listed on the contract will be photographed for insurance and liability purposes.
How long before to get the photos?
One week after your session you will receive an email with your gallery preview. It will show you ALL the best images from your session and offer you the three packages I offer to choose from. You will have three days to decide which package is best for you. From there I will do any final edits or requested retouches. Three weeks later you will receive your personalized gallery to share with all your friends and family.
Do you offer photo retouching?
I am a big supporter of all bodies are beautiful so I do not offer major body modifications. However, we all need some help with our skin from time to time. My protocol is to remove anything that wouldn’t be there in a week so you can say goodbye to blemishes and bruises.
What does a session like?
Depending on the location, we’ll walk, play, rock out, dance. Occasionally stand together as a group. It’s your life with a little help to make it picture perfect. I’ll suggest movements, or actions, tell you where to place your hands, and make you feel like a rock star. For portraits and headshots, we’ll work together to make you look and feel your best. That is a feeling that translates through the camera.
How long are your sessions?
Believe it or not, having your photo taken is EXHAUSTING. But like, in the best way? For that reason I have found an hour to an hour and a half is more than enough time to get you lots of photos without draining you completely.
Do you allow rescheduling?
I understand sick kids and emergencies. And some people count a stubbed toe as both if you catch my drift. I have designed the session fee to be just a little painful so that people are discouraged from cancelling and I am compensated fairly for my lost time should they. For these reasons, I do not allow rescheduling. Please notify me in writing of any cancellation and to begin the re-booking process.
Where do you host sessions?
Parks, malls, coffee shops, amusement parks, beaches…you name it, I’ve probably shot at it. Clients are responsible for covering all permits and entrance fees, but I love a unique location. Got an idea? I want to hear it! If not, I can recommend some locations based on what your personal preferences are.
Do you offer style and clothing advice?
Ultimately the final decision is going to have to be yours. And yes, I sure do! After booking, keep an eye out in your email for best tips and practices for choosing clothing that works for you while still being photogenic.
Do you host Mini Sessions?
Rarely. Check my Instagram for the booking link if I am!
