WHICH IS BEST FOR YOU?
Full Sessions are typically an hour, allowing plenty of time for a warm-up period, candid moments, location changes, detail shots, and overall flexibility.
TIMING
Full Sessions are great for families that are slow to warm up to the camera, really shy children, or those who crave multiple outfits, locations, and a wider variety of portraits in their finished gallery. Most often, I find that by the end of the session, my client families forget that my camera is there, and we tend to make my favorite moments towards the end (and I’m doing mental cartwheels)!
Since Simple Sessions have such a short timeline, I prioritize the ‘everyone-looking-at-the-camera-smiling’ shots and all the typical ‘must-have’ shots: i.e., sibling portraits, mom + baby, dad + baby, etc. If everyone is cooperating well, then OF COURSE I’m all for getting the fun extras I’m more known for- the candids!
LOCATION
Since full lifestyle sessions are customizable, I work with each family to plan the perfect scene that best suits your family’s personality or the look you’re going for. That includes in-home sessions (great for kids with inflexible nap schedules), or an urban family feel; the options are endless!
Simple Sessions are held at ONE fixed (yet versatile) location. Outdoor dates are extremely limited. These short photo shoots are great for quick updated portraits for holiday cards or gift prints for extended family!
MY PROMISE
LET’S DO THIS!
No matter the session type you end up going for, I have this in mind for you:
You’re a hard-working parent in the thick of the most exhausting stages of child-rearing. The last thing you need is to stress and overthink all of the details of your photography session, whether it’s my Full family session or a Simple Session (abbreviated) one. Well you can leave it to me, parents- I’ve got your back! My standard of care includes high quality family ingredients that equate to a fun, memorable experience. AND not to mention, beautiful portraits that are for more than just a fabulous Instagram post. These are portraits you’ll be itching to print, frame and adorn in your home (and you bet I’m sharing my favorite curated sources with you). I’m ALL about capturing your favorite family giggles, cheeky smiles, and affectionate glances with only the most flattering angles in mind. The fond memory of you and your greatest loves is what I preserve. This standard isn’t just for you now, but for your future you.
