Our approach to family photography!
Asking your kids to smile and pose like it’s Josten’s in 1999? Not here for it!
(… although those neon laser backgrounds were pretty rad…)
I offer four different family sessions, tailored especially to your budget, timeline and needs. Your family photos should be FUN - child-led, like creative playdates - my goal is to truly capture the feeling of what it’s like to be a part of your loving family. I welcome and embrace your children’s personalities, interests, quirky ideas, and goofiness - the wackier, the better! I hope you all look back on your photos ten years from now with smiles, and maybe a few happy tears (even if your life with little ones feels like chaos right now!)
No matching khakis and pristine white golf shirts allowed! Let’s get silly together!
Mini Session
$350
(this fee includes a $200 print and product credit.)
A mini session is 20 minutes long - it’s a perfect solution for small groups/families, with the end goal of a handful of great photos!
Mini sessions are great for those interested in maternity sessions, getting a standard family portrait, photos with your pets, or a few fun Christmas card photos. Please note that we schedule mini sessions on weekdays, not weekends, during peak wedding season (June through October.) Below you can see some examples of photos taken during mini sessions.
Play Sessions
$500
(this fee includes a $250 print and product credit.)
A Play session is 1 hour long - recommended for absolutely everyone, but especially those with big families (or big personalities!)
Play sessions are where we let your kids’ personalities shine - games, costumes, crafts, songs, facepaint, pets, mud pies, hilarious toddlers - we’re down for it all!
(Oh, and we’ll take a couple of “nice” photos for grandma’s mantle too! )
Honestly, this is the session you wanted, but didn’t know you truly needed. And although newborns don’t play much, this one hour session is a perfect option for wee ones, who are sometimes on their own timeline.
Half Day Session
$700
(this fee includes a $350 print and product credit.)
A half day session is 3-4 hours long - this is where we start getting into the nitty gritty! Tons of fun candids, real moments, campfires, smores, hugs, games, and possible bandaids. We can help you plan an outing your kids love - an afternoon at the zoo, or the waterpark, a summer evening at the lake cabin, a morning spent baking cookies with grandma and grandpa. Or even just a rainy Sunday morning, made fun because you’re all together. These sessions are also great for birthday parties or small family reunions. Check out the “Rainy Sunday” slideshow below!
Day in the Life Session
$1200
(this fee includes a $500 print and product credit. )
A Day in the Life session is exactly that - we hang out with your family for the day, and photograph the whole dang thing - the laughter, the tears, the bedtime stories, and all the awesome in-betweens. Building a fort, going to the lake, a mountain excursion - let’s do it all. This collection is perfect for everyone - a great way to commemorate a fun day spent with grandparents, a good bye to an old home, or welcoming a new arrival. Your final collection of photos will become a family heirloom for generations. Imagine these photos as a beautiful fine art book on your mantel - the true story of your family, unfiltered and real, utterly you.
