You have thousands of photos on your phone, but when you scroll back, you’re hardly in any of them, and the whole family together is even harder to find.
Your kids got taller sometime in the last few months, and you didn’t see it happen.
One of them lost a tooth, or got a license, or doesn’t reach for your hand in the parking lot anymore.
A family session is about an hour. You show up, I take care of the rest.
You'll walk away with portraits that look like your family right now. You’ll have the option for tangible products, not just digitals that hide away on your computer.
Enjoy your favorite people everyday.
where you see your images together on screen and choose your favorites with me beside you.
No scrolling through a gallery alone at midnight, wondering which ones to keep. We decide together, and you leave knowing exactly what you’re getting.
Every session is followed by an in-person viewing,
We start with a little time to settle in, and I guide you with gentle direction so no one is left wondering what to do with their hands.
The laughing, the leaning in, and the in-between moments with a toddler are all part of it. You don’t need to be a family that “photographs well.” You just need to show up.
I keep sessions relaxed and unforced.
What it's Like
Investment
Family sessions are $690, which includes a $500 credit toward your portrait order. Your session fee is the first step in the experience, and it goes right back to work for you when you choose your images. Collections and individual pieces are shown at your viewing, so you can see what fits your home and your family before you decide.
Gallery
You reach out and we find a date. I send a short guide so you know what to wear and what to expect.
We meet at a location of your choosing (suggestions available) and a few days later we sit down together for your viewing. From there, your portraits are finished and delivered, ready to be framed, gifted, or tucked into an album.
How it Works
Frequently Asked Questions
The credit is applied to your order when you choose your portraits at your viewing.
How does the $500 credit work?
Earlier always works best. The more time you have to shop for outfits and plan schedules, the better. Reach out and I can help you plan.
How far in advance should we book?
We’ll reschedule to a day that works for both of us.
What happens if the weather doesn’t cooperate?
Choose colors that feel like you and sit well together, without everyone matching exactly. Coordinated tones in solid or lightly textured pieces photograph beautifully, and I send a full wardrobe guide once you book so you’re not guessing.
What should we wear?
60-90 minutes. That’s enough time to relax into it and get a full range of images, without anyone running out of patience.
How long is the session?
Outdoor locations in the Irmo, Columbia, Lexington, and Chapin areas. We’ll choose the spot that suits your family and the season.
Where do we shoot?
Then we have a normal family, and it’s more common than you’d think. I work at their pace, keep things light, and photograph the real moments along the way. Those are often the ones people treasure most.
What if our kids don’t cooperate?
Yes. Let me know the size of your group when you reach out so I can plan the session accordingly.
Do you photograph extended families?
It covers your session time, my full attention behind the camera, and your in-person viewing. It also includes a $500 credit toward your portrait order.
What does the $690 session fee include?
I have digital options available.
Do I receive digital files?
Your viewing is scheduled 1-2 weeks after your session. You’ll see your full set together and choose your favorites in person.
When will I see my images?
Reach out and we’ll find a time that works for your family.
If you’ve been meaning to do this and haven’t, this is your sign to start.
