Family Session Details

So you’ve booked your session, now what?

Be Prepared

Let me tell you a little bit about how I run my sessions… the more prepared we are beforehand the more fun your session will be! My goal in every family session is to capture the true essence of your family. These sessions are fun and laid back. I will get some photos of everyone looking at the camera, but I will mainly focus on capturing your love for each other through a variety of prompts and games. We will take our time to explore, play and you will end up with a gallery that is mixed with posed and lifestyle images. The only thing you guys have to remember is to BE MAGNETS the whole time… always be touching someone, loving someone and playing with each other. Just enjoy each other… don’t even worry about looking at the camera unless I direct you to! This is hard for some as you naturally want to look and smile when a camera is facing you. But trust me, if you DON’T LOOK AT ME UNLESS I TELL YOU TO, we will capture more authentic moments. This is going to be short time away from everything. Enjoy it! Mom and dad, steal kisses whenever you can, flirt with each other like you did while you were dating! Just play with each other as a family in a way that’s natural to you. Throw your kids up on your backs, shoulders, etc. give lots of tickles! If your kids are not cooperating, don’t sweat it! Leave the grunt work to me… you guys just have fun. I’ll chase them around if I have to but as long as you stay calm and just have fun, that will come through in the photos.

Weather & Cancellations

In the event of inclement weather, we will work together to reschedule your date. Please note, there will only be one backup date and your time slot will remain the same. If someone in your family is showing signs of Covid, please just let me know and we will find a date to reschedule your session. There will be no penalty for last minute cancellations due to sickness.

Image Delivery

Your final images will be delivered via an email link to a beautiful online gallery. You will receive the link about 2 weeks after your session. I will post a sneak peak of each session via social media (Facebook and Instagram) just a few days after your session. Please let me know if you would prefer I didn’t share any photos.

Thanks for taking the time to read through everything, I can’t wait for our session together! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions!
