Family Portraits That Capture What Matters Most

1) May we bring props to our session?
Props can add interest and personality to your photos. If you would like to include props, please let me know ahead of time so I can plan accordingly.

2) How long do sessions last?

We currently offer two family photography session options:

30-Minute Family Session — $300

Includes five professionally edited digital images with a print release. Additional digital images and print products are available for purchase.

60-Minute Family Session — $450

Our longer session offers additional time for family groupings, outfit changes, and a more relaxed photography experience. Contact us for complete package details.

3) Will you suggest a location for the session?
I’d love to share some of my favorite places! Don’t feel like you are limited to my suggestions. Also, please keep in mind that when kids are involved, it’s best to stick to one setting, such as a park or playground. Pick a place where they are comfortable being themselves.

4) How can we best prepare for the session?
Get yourself and your family excited about the session. Whether you go all out on a styled shoot or purchase new outfits for everyone. It’s great when you can involve the entire family.

5) When is payment due?

A $100 reservation fee is required to secure your family photography session and is applied toward your total session package price. The remaining balance is due before or on the day of your session.

Additional digital images and print products may be purchased separately after viewing your gallery.

6) I see a lot of ideas on Pinterest, can we suggest ideas for photos?
I have a variety of samples at my studio. During the pre-consultation, We will discuss your vision and my experience. If there is an image from Pinterest that you love, bring it in and we’ll look at it together.

7) Is there a time that is better than others for outdoor photo sessions?
The best time for an outdoor photo session is either early in the morning or right around sunset. I’ve found that the best light is usually 15-20 minutes before sunset and 15-20 minutes after. You can visit timeanddate.com to get an accurate time for sunset on your scheduled photo session day and then back up approximately 1 hour to 1.5 hours from that time for start time. You want to make sure to factor in extra time just in case you happen to be running late, want to change outfits during the session, etc.

8) What is included in a session?

Our 30-minute family photography session is $300 and includes five professionally edited, high-resolution digital images of your choice, along with a print release.

We also offer a 60-minute family session for $450, providing additional time for family groupings, outfit changes, and a more relaxed photography experience.

After your session, you’ll have the opportunity to view your images and purchase additional digital photographs, prints, and other photo products.

9) What type of payments do you accept?
We accept cash, checks, PayPal, and all major credit cards.

10) How long after the session until I see my photos?
Turnaround for photos is approximately 1-2 weeks. I will usually post a few sneak peek images to social media within 24-48 hours of photographing the session, so make sure you are connected!
