Family Sessions

Yes, indeed!!
It is time to update your family picture!

It's always nice to see how your family has changed over the years.  

Don't wait for those pesky 15lbs to disappear.
Don't wait until the grandbaby is born. 

Time doesn't pause but a picture will pause time.

Do you put off family photos because
it is stressful?

I can assure you that a family photo session does not have to be stressful.
I will guide you through the process from picking a location to coordinating your family's outfits. 

We will choose a perfect location to photograph your family.

Do you stress to think about more digital
files sitting on your hard drive?  

I can help you pick images and design a gallery wall for your home.

It is my hope that you print your pictures and display them in your home.

Grandparents love receiving prints as gifts!

How long does a family session take?

My sessions are about 30 minutes.  Quick and painless. :)  

I don't know how to coordinate my family members' clothes, can you help?

Yep!  You will receive a PDF guide that will help you work through this #1 issue most people have.  It's really not as hard as you think!

How does payment work?

The session itself is $225 - of that a $125 retainer is due when you schedule your session and the remainder is due a few days before your session.

What's the best way to deal with glasses with transition lenses?

Since transition lenses are effected by UV light that is found in natural light, there is no way around the darkening effect that happens.  It is best to either remove the glasses for the entirety of the session or to obtain a pair of glasses without that effect.  Sometimes, people have an old pair of glasses around the house that can be used.  

I have a large family, is there an additional charge for that?

There is no additional charge for the members of a single household.  However, the more people, the longer it will take to move between poses.  Thirty minutes is a perfect amount of time for a family of five with small children or a family of eight with older children.  During the scheduling process, you can add-on an additional 30 minutes of time if you think it would be beneficial.

Can we include extended family in our session?

Sure!  It's no problem to add more time to the session to accommodate extra extended family members.  This is done during the scheduling process.
