All About Portraits - Family, Kids + More!

The Portrait Experience

I like to make your portrait experience fun, quick, and painless (you're welcome dads!)!

I believe families should get updated photos at least once a year.  And, no, school portraits definitely do not count.  I know how busy we all are, and scheduling time for the whole family to figure out coordinating outfits for an evening of photos can seem overwhelming.  But, it doesn't need to be!  In fact, I love it when families let their toddlers pick out their portrait outfits.  The whole point is to document THIS time in your life, whatever that may look like.  I consider myself a fast moving and spontaneous photographer.  My normal session only lasts 30 minutes!  I love to pack as much variety into each session as possible.  I'm not one that will spend ten minutes putting you into perfect positions for one stiff shot.  Within 10 minutes, we will have moved through at least 5 different groupings and poses!  Of course I will always get those shots of everyone grouped looking and smiling at the camera. But for the majority of the session, I'm looking for movement, laughter, rolling around in the grass, kids running around being silly kind of shots.  It doesn't phase me if the kids are 'misbehaving'... that's the kind of stuff at THIS time in your life, and typically I get my best work when the kids are 'misbehaving'.  I want it to be fun and easy for you, so that you are more inclined to do it more often!  And if carving out even 30 minutes of time for a session seems daunting for you or your family, I also offer monthly 10-minute mini session events for quick and easy updates!

All About Portrait Pricing

PORTRAIT PRICING

A STRAIGHTFORWARD easy EXPERIENCE

My portrait pricing is designed to be flexible, transparent, and easy to understand. Most full sessions are all-inclusive and come with a personalized experience and a complete gallery of digital images. You’ll know exactly what’s included up front, with no pressure or surprise decisions afterward.

I also offer a range of alternative options to fit different needs and budgets. These include mini sessions, budget-friendly sessions, and specialty offerings like headshots, which are priced differently based on the session type and scope. For new clients, I offer a special introductory option for kids and family sessions that includes the session fee, with images available for purchase à la carte.

No matter the session type, every client receives the same care, guidance, and attention to detail. I’ll walk you through your options before booking so you can choose what feels right for you, your family, and this season of life.
