“Family is not an important thing. It’s EVERYTHING.”
~ Michael J. Fox
Every family is as unique as each of its members so it only makes sense that each of my family sessions are designed to be just as unique as you all are. You can choose a location that is meaningful for you and your family or choose one of the many beautiful outdoor locations in your area, the possibilities are endless! Of course, there’s no place like home so maybe you’ll opt to have an in-home session where I bring the studio essentials to you.
Check out these 5 tips on how to have a successful (& fun) session with kids.

Family Photography Sessions
Family Photo Sessions
THE DETAILS
Sessions can range from approximately 1 - 2 hours. More epic sessions can also be customized, pricing upon inquiry.
All family portrait packages include the following:
-
Pre-session consultation to discuss what your vision is, your personal style, wardrobe choice, locations, etc.
-
Online proof gallery
-
On-line password-protected web-album that you can view and share with family and friends on your smartphone or tablet.
-
High-resolution web photo gallery that includes a secure shopping cart for ordering professionally processed prints and merchandise. Family and friends can purchase print and/or merchandise orders directly from the web gallery.
-
Professional digital retouching* [see notes below]
-
Professional print and art products are also available for purchase à la carte.
*NOTES:
-
All final images chosen by you are fully edited and include a basic "polish" (skin smoothing, simple acne removal, etc.). More detailed or complex edits such as head swaps can be ordered for an additional fee that will be determined on the edit requested.
-
I do not remove permanent features such as scars, birthmarks, moles, etc. unless specifically requested, which would be done for an additional fee.
-
I DO remove and/or lightly smooth any obvious acne, bruises, temporary scars/scabs, basically anything that would normally be a temporary feature.
-
I do not remove or obliterate wrinkles and lines. Why would I? If you’ve got them, you've earned them so I treat them with the care and love they deserve by gently softening and minimizing them to show you at your best you, not a plasticized version.
