The Experience

Here is a step by step of what your family session experience will be like. I want your experience to be simple, clear and enjoyable with the maximum benefit to you. Each step in this process is there to help with this!

  • Once find a date and time that suits your family, I will send you a link where you can officially book.

    A note on time: The best time is to start 1-2 hours before sunset (or sunrise for your morning birds) and shoot for about an hour, give or take.

    I know that these times can be tough with kids bedtimes. Not too fear, a decade of shooting weddings taught me how to shoot in all kinds of light. If your kids aren't the type with a pushed bedtime for a night we can work around it!

  • I prefer to shoot families in places that will be meaningful to them years from now (often at home- no designer home necessary). I also love to shoot in open spaces that provide lots of light ie: the beach, big fields etc. All of the above places are also places children feel comfortable to run around and be themselves! This is KEY to getting the kind of images you like on my website.

  • Before your session, we will go over all the things that will help you prepare for your session. This includes, but is not limited to, tips for what to wear, how to prep your family and what to do during the session (hint: it's very little).

  • During the session your job is to let go, be fully present and connect with your family. Let your kids be kids (you get to take a break from disciplining), follow some simple directions from me and we will make magic together!

    It is up to us grown ups to keep the positive momentum going. If you have a child that needs a cuddle or a break, they can have that!

  • We choose a time where you will be in a comfortable place and able to view your beautiful slideshow of images from a desktop or laptop with your family or spouse (phones aren’t nearly as magical!).

    Your slideshow will have all of the finished images from your session.

  • Next you can decide what kind of package you would like. All packages include High Resolution Digital Downloads and shop credits. You have 2 whole months to use your shop credit. And you get your choice of premium prints and products to get your images off the computer and into your home.

  • This is it! Don't stop yet, you are almost to the most rewarding part, seeing these beauties on your walls, in albums and wrapped up as gifts.

    Displaying family pictures sends your loved ones a clear message that they are valued and that they belong.

    Don't let your images collect digital dust, this is what your shop credit is for. If you need any support I am here to lend it!
