DETAILS: FAMILY SESSION

Each session is customized to your unique needs and wishes, so I'll send you a brief pre-session questionnaire to learn more about you, and to get an idea of the type of images you're looking for. I offer both full & mini family sessions with evening appointments preferred, but I am always willing to work with your unique schedule. I tell my clients to not think of this a photoshoot, but rather just a super fun evening with your crew and I just happen to be there to document it. My goal is to capture you and your family in a very natural and authentic way. I want to capture real smiles, real emotion, real fun, and real interaction between y’all, so be prepared for blanket rides, child tossing, lots of tickle sessions, dance breaks and yes, even some shots of everyone looking and smiling. This is for immediate family only. Extended families will incur an additional fee to account for extra shooting time and extra images; please inquire about rates.  

Full Session

During this one-hour session, expect a variety of images of your whole family as a group, plus individuals of each kid, group shots of just the kids, just the girls, just the boys, just mom & dad, mom with each kid, mom with all kids, dad with each kid, dad with all kids, etc. What sets this full session apart from the mini is that you will get so much more variety in your final gallery; we’ll have time for at least 4-5 different family poses/connection opportunities, plus lots of time for your kids to chill and play around when they’re not in the shot.

Mini Session

The 20-minute mini-session is perfect if you’re short on time and looking for a bargain. We typically have just enough time to capture the whole family for one or 2 poses/set-ups, plus a group shot of just the kids, individuals of each kid, and mom & dad alone. There’s not as much variety as in the full session, though you’re still promised to have a lot of fun just hanging with your family. Laughing, snuggling, tickles and dancing are included :) It’s perfect for holiday cards or for a quick updated family portrait for your wall.

You Should Know

Each session requires a 50% non-refundable retainer to secure the date, with the remaining 50% due at your session. Your 50% retainer is non-refundable, but it is transferable in the case of illness, inclement weather, or other unforeseen circumstances. This retainer is required at the time of booking.

Images are available to download within 2 weeks of your session. Inquire about rush fees if you require an earlier guaranteed delivery date.

After I receive your 50% retainer, I’ll send you into my Client Lounge where you’ll gain access to some additional resources for your session. You’ll receive the Client Questionnaire, Family Prep Packet & Styling Guide, Pinterest wardrobe inspiration, and my Location Guide. We’ll select your location after I’ve had a chance to review your questionnaire and you’ve looked through my Location Guide. Locations more than 25 miles from 78109 will incur additional travel fees.
