EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PORTRAIT SESSIONS
We think Ferris Bueller had it right when he said "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
Regardless of the season that you're in, and whether your babies are big, small or furry, this time in your life deserves to be captured by something other than your iPhone.
Family sessions were born from past wedding couples asking us to document their growing families and now we just can't get enough!
We love creating photos to remind families that in spite of the fact that the car of their floor is covered in cereal, their laundry room looks like an episode of hoarders and mom and dad are in a permanent state of exhaustion, their love and their story are beautiful.
So let's plan a day, pick a location that is meaningful to you and create a slew of images that will fill up the frames your walls for years to come.
PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY
I CAN’T IMAGINE WORKING WITH ANYONE ELSE
Most people meet with several photographers before selecting "the one;" however, I just knew. After seeing the way she made rainy wedding day look magazine-worthy and very large weddings still look sweet and intimate, I knew I wanted April to capture my day... She was very responsive to my preferences and listened to ALL of my wishes... Our images were flawless and of all the vendors I dealt with for our wedding, April was hands down my favorite vendor.
AFTER ONE CALL, I JUST KNEW SHE WAS "THE ONE"

what do we do if it rains or if it looks like it might rain?
No one wants to look like a wet dog in their photos so if it looks like it's going to rain, snow, hail or some other weather catastrophe, we'll be in touch via email or phone to reschedule. Often, when we're scheduling our initial portrait session date, if it works for our calendars, we'll actually set up both a main date and a rain date just to make sure we don't have to postpone your session for very long if the weather is bad on the original date.
How far in advance should I book a portrait session?
The sooner the better! Our weekends tend to fill up pretty quickly - especially during the spring and fall, so the sooner you reach out to us, the more likely you are to get your desired date!
To reserve your date, we'll need a contract as well as a deposit. And if something comes up and you need to change your date, just let us know!
What should we wear?
If picking out outfits for photos takes you back to your high school days when you literally tried on everything in your closet and piled it on your bed but still felt like you had nothing to wear, you're in luck.
We put together an extensive outfit suggestion guide with tips for every member of the family (even Fido!)
We're awkard in photos and my kids never sit still.
Unless you've modeled professionally, you're probably going to feel awkward in front of the camera. Heck, we take photos for a living and we even feel like a deer in the headlights when we're in front of the camera.
You're going to feel awkward at first, but as the session goes on and we coach you through images, we think you'll find that being photographed can actually be fun. And don't worry about your kids. We're well versed in capturing even the busiest of little ones.
How will I receive my photos? Can I order prints?
Within a few weeks of your session, you'll receive a link to a digital gallery that will allow you to download high resolution images.
The gallery is also set up to make ordering prints, canvases and other keepsakes as easy as turning on a Roomba to clean your floors. No worrying about tricky things like color correction, DPI and image format.
For investment details and availability, please send a message via the form below. Hour long portrait sessions for a family of five or smaller with full access to your gallery begin at $725.
