Family Photography

IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE. WITH THE BEAT OF YOUR HEART.

“Family is the most important thing in the world” – Princess Diana

All the inside jokes, all that you’ve been through together, all the laughs and tears and hugs.  It’s time to capture this moment forever.  Photos have a power like nothing else as the days, seasons and years pass by all those memories will still be there to look back on.  Let’s make that vision of a family portrait that you’ve had in your head finally become a reality. There is a lot to think about, but as a family photographer, it’s my pleasure to guide you through it.  You’ll tell me what you want from the session – your ideas, your style and the types of pictures you desire.  

Location & Wardrobe Planning

We will work together to find and pick a places that feel good to your family, so you can enjoy some time in each other’s company.  It could be your favorite park, on the streets of your hometown or in your own backyard.  There are also many beautiful areas that you may never have considered.  As a Central New York Lifer, I know of lots of great locations to suggest.

If you need help deciding on outfits, there are many tips for that.  It’s a lot less complicated than you may think.  I have a what to wear guide to help you and we’ll also talk about ideas when we plan your session.

Family Session

Once the session starts, your job is over.  I will help create an atmosphere where you can relax with your family so that we can discover your true personalities through my lens.  In fact, I want this to be a day that becomes a fond memory of a time when you were able to slow down to focus on each other.  Family portrait photography sessions are, actually, fun!  You’ll get the shots you’re looking for, to highlight all the special relationships and the goofy, tender and feisty interactions.  

Within two weeks you will be able to view the final result – the photos!  You’ll make your choices and decide what you’d like to order such as prints, art, albums or digital.  Within a month, the portraits will be delivered right to your door.  You will have the beautiful images of your family to share and treasure for years to come.  I can’t wait to get started!
