FAMILY Sessions

The Experience

A simple, stress-free process from initial inquiry to products in your hand!

If you love the final photos I deliver but don’t love the experience behind them, I haven’t done my job! When you look at your family photos, I hope you’ll fondly remember your experience with me! I prioritize communication, connection, and clear expectations throughout the process, so you’ll know exactly what to expect each step of the way.

THE PROCESS

Let’s break it down!

Step 1: Paying your session fee, Pre-payment, & Studio Meet

To book a session, a $250 fee is required to hold a spot for you in my calendar. This fee covers up to 1 1/2 hours of continuous coverage, a make up day in case your session is rained out and you don’t want to shoot in the rain, a pre-session consultation, access to my client closet and accessories, a prep guide to make the session go as smoothly as possible as well as style advice if you don’t want to use my client closet. This fee DOES NOT include any tangible products or digital images. Your chosen collection will have ALL of the images/products you can dream of! To view those, just keep reading!

After reading through this guide and booking your session, the next step is to book a consultation with me (over the phone or in person) to discuss your needs, get to know each other, and chat about which collection is right for you. What is a pre-payment plan you ask? A pre-payment plan is where you will pay off your collection before your session takes place in small amounts. This payment can be made weekly, bi-weekly and monthly! It is a requirement to book and dates can be customized. You can also pay upfront via Afterpay (pay in 4) and Paypal Credit!

Step 2: Get Prepped

After your date has been selected for portraits I will send over my detailed Pre-Session Direction guide that has loads of helpful information on how to make the shoot go as smoothly as possible! It will also have details about what is best for you, partners, and children to wear!

Step 3: Family Session

It’s time to capture this special, fleeting season with beautiful photos! Depending on where we are shooting at will depend on if you are following me to a private location or if we are meeting somewhere together. We will always start including children first to make sure we get photos of them with you and your partner. The remaining part of the shoot will be focused on having fun! After all, that is why you are coming to see me!

Step 4: In-Person Viewing Session

14 days after your session you’ll come back to my studio to see your STUNNING images via slideshow! Included in the slideshow is 40+ fully edited images. Black and white copies are also included! You can scroll down to the bottom of this page to see what my editing is like and what to expect as far as skin and background edits go. The reveal session is where you will pay for your Collection Upgrades if you would like any, and any other wall art or album add ons you’d like to purchase! I do offer several different payment plan methods if you’d like to go that route, so please be sure to inquire about them ahead of time if you’re interested!

Step 5: Product Delivery

If you choose a collection with an album or wall art, you will get your digital images the day of your reveal, but in the meantime I will be putting together album slides for you to approve, getting your wall art order put together and sharing your images on social media! I have the BEST wall art company. The products are hand made with love and ethically sourced in the Netherlands! I will do all the print work for you so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your family!
