Family Portraits
Photo sessions should be FUN and mine are! Every family grows and changes, and it's important to document your family unit as time goes on. Whether it's a full family session or a mini-session near the holidays, getting family portraits taken is a wonderful way to preserve your family memories.
What's the difference between a Mini-Session and a Family Session?
A mini-session is about 15 minutes and we shoot to get a few pics for your holiday card. The date is set by me, and I photograph several families on the same day. The session is quick and you generally get a few digitals included in the price, so you have the option to print your own holiday cards. Mini-Sessions are only offered a few times per year.
A Family Session is about 60 minutes and there is a lot more variety in the images. You end up with enough pictures to fill an album or put up wall art. Here are the pictures we generally take:
- The whole family
- Just the kids
- Only Mom and Dad
- Mom and kids
- Dad and kids
- Individuals of the kids
- Everyone walking together
- Everyone cracking up
- The whole family AGAIN, in a much more relaxed set up. (These are always the pics that are ordered.)
- Anything special that the family requests
So which one do you want this year?
2023 Mini-Sessions-$350
November 19, 3pm-5pm
Mini-sessions are offered on limited dates in November/December. They are 15 minutes long and we are shooting for the holiday card. These are fast paced sessions. You will get an online proofing gallery to choose your favorites. A few digitals and printing rights come with the mini-session so you can design and order your own holiday cards if you want.
Mini-sessions are stacked sessions where multiple families come one after the other. If you want a mini-session on a special day, there is a $100 charge.

Is it time to capture your growing family? Family Sessions are offered 2 ways-Mini-Sessions and Family Sessions
Family Sessions-$350
60+ minutes. The date and location are decided together. The family session is relaxed and fun. That's right, we have a ball! I talk to the kids, we goof around, I make everyone laugh. If you are looking for special wall art to put up in your house, or an album that captures the essence of your family, this session is for you. You are the only family I'm photographing that day, so there is no time restriction. If there is a hiccup, which can happen with kids, then I stay until everyone is feeling good and I am sure we have everything captured. A few weeks after the photo shoot is the Viewing and Ordering Session where you come to my house to see all of the best images and decide what you want to order. The most popular items are the leather/crystal Heirloom Albums and Wall Art (Metal Art Prints and Canvases).
The photo session cost is for the session only. All products and digitals are sold separately. Print packages start at $475 and Collections start at $1550. Collections include wall art, an album, and professional prints.
