I adore shooting family sessions. I believe one of the best pieces of art with which you can adorn your wall is one capturing the connection and emotion between those bonded by love. Photographing a person, a relationship, or a group of people, is kind of like a magic spell. For that moment, I get to freeze time - that mood, that expression, of that split second, is completely unique and can never be authentically replicated.  I also cherish the fact that my clients trust me to capture their moments. And I want to reassure you that every moment is real. If we have a family session planned and the kids are squirming or nap-deprived, that's okay. It's real life, and we get to capture that. (And maybe tease them about it when they're older!) Kids not impressed with their attire for the photoshoot? That's completely okay; the images will show their real emotion and how they really feel. Not wanting to sit and pose? Also fine - we can still shoot them running away, and it looks like they're on their way to a grand adventure. I'm a big fan of authenticity - not just the posed, coffee table photos (you'll get those, of course!), but the simple moments - the dirt on faces and the unkempt hair, the laughter, the emotion - these moments also deserve a place in the family album, because they are the realest stories. Making a photograph is capturing a moment of your family's life in that instant.  All family sessions (including fur-babies if they want to tag along!) take approximately 60-90 minutes at the location of your choice. All you need to do is come and have fun! Check out my blog post on tips for clothing and more, or click here to book your session – a $50 deposit is all that’s needed!
