Sessions
Thirteen years photographing families has taught me a lot. The thing I keep coming back to: the best images come from letting people forget they’re being photographed. The sessions below are built around that.
Family Session — $850
One hour. Your immediate family. Up to two locations. Pets welcome and encouraged.
What’s included:
A full hour of unhurried photographing, with prompts and play to keep things easy
50+ professionally edited high-resolution images, delivered in your private online gallery
Two-week turnaround
Print release for personal use
Prints, canvases, and wall art available à la carte through the gallery shop
Best for: annual family photos, holiday card season, “we haven’t done this in three years, and the kids look different now.”
Extended Family Session — $1,000
Seventy minutes. Multi-generational and multi-household. Grandparents, siblings’ families, the whole gathering.
What’s included:
Everything in a Family Session
Extended time for the logistics of a bigger group
60+ professionally edited high-resolution images
A note on bigger groups: with more people, the session leans more toward portrait-style groupings and less toward play.
Best for: when grandparents are visiting from out of town, milestone gatherings, the rare week everyone’s in the same place.
Portrait Session — $850
One hour. Same price as a Family Session, different focus.
Use this for:
Maternity, before everything changes, while you’re still carrying them
Lifestyle newborns, at home, in your own light, in the first weeks
Senior portraits for the high schooler in the family
Couples, whether the wedding’s coming up or it’s just been too long since you were both in the frame
Individual portraits for the parent who’s always behind the camera, or for a milestone birthday, or just because
Everything that’s included in a Family Session is included here: a full hour, two locations, 50+ edited images, two-week delivery, gallery, print release.
If you’re not sure which category you fit, just ask. The answer is almost always “yes, I can photograph that.”
In-Home Session — $1,800
Three to four hours in your natural habitat. Documentary style. No posing, no outfit changes, no agenda.
This is the session for the family who wants to capture real life: bath time, cutting flowers in the garden, fort building, story time, a pillow fight, the kid laughing so hard milk comes out of their nose. I’m there for the morning or the afternoon, coffee, breakfast, whatever you’d be doing anyway. You forget I’m there by hour two. That’s when the best images happen.
What’s included:
Three to four hours of in-home documentary photography
100+ professionally edited high-resolution images
Three-week turnaround
Private online gallery, print release
Best for: capturing a season of family life that won’t last. The first year with a new baby, the stretch before the kids start school, a long weekend everyone’s actually home, or a week away you don’t want to forget.
