Family Portraits

Do you need a family portrait session, STAT?

Maybe you’re coming into town for a relaxing week at the beach and you’d LOVE to document your family in a relaxed and beautiful setting – all while documenting your fun stay.

Maybe your twins just got their braces off and you want some memories of those winning smiles.

Maybe you’re a photographer and you want to document so many moments and details – but let’s face it – your kids don’t always listen to you when you’re behind the lens and one day you want them to look back and actually see you in some photos for once!

Maybe all of your family is coming together for a reunion or celebration and you’d love to have a photo of everyone looking great together – and portraits of all of the individual families as well. And not pay an arm and a leg for including all of those extra people.

Maybe the holidays are quickly approaching and you would very much like to get those cards sent out before January this year.

Or maybe, like so many of us, you realize that time is slipping by, and there’s no better time than now to document little Tommy’s dimples, Suzi’s missing teeth, baby John’s toddling around and the love you all share together. Because two years ago you knew you wanted to capture these fleeting moments, but wanted to wait until you lost ten pounds, or you moved into your new house with more wall space – and now you’ve added another kid and those years are gone!

Whatever your reason for needing a family photo session, I’ve got you covered.

I see my job as making the process of getting the end result you want – gorgeous images that capture your family as they are and beautiful, high quality products to display them – to be as painless and fun as possible.
I will hold your hands through the entire process. From choosing a location and guiding you on color schemes and what to wear; to making the session as enjoyable and relaxed as possible; to helping you design the perfect wall grouping or helping you select the best products for you and your family possible!

I offer three types of family sessions:

Signature Session

The most popular session, this session consists of 1-2 hours at the location of your choice and images are typically a fun mix of carefully posed portraits, guided lifestyle shots and totally undirected candids.

Day in the Life Session

This session is for those who would like a more natural approach to documenting your family as you really are. Usually involving  a few hours at home or doing an activity that tends to bring you together, so as to capture the interaction and love you share! Examples may include:

• morning routine and baking cookies followed by bath time
• an afternoon at the beach searching tide pools and playing in the waves
• a bike ride to your local park where you enjoy a picnic

Sessions usually include some video and result in a DVD and album documenting one day in your life!

Mini Session

Mini sessions are less involved for those who need a super short session to update their family photos for holiday cards for example, or when you want to take advantage of the themed mini sessions offered at limited times throughout the year.
