My Approach to Family Photography
Do You Like Family Photos?
If I asked the question “do you like family photos?”, you might have to think about how to answer. Was I asking “do you like having your photo taken?” Or was I asking if you enjoyed looking at your collection of photos through the years. I’m guessing that the answer to the first part of the question, “do you like having your photo taken?”, is probably not so much. It can feel like a chore, there are other things you would rather be doing, etc. But I know the answer most people have if asked if they enjoy looking at family photos through the years, and the answer is “yes!”
Knowing that people value photography and being able to look back at a moment in time, I strive to make this an enjoyable experience for everyone. I am dedicated to capturing the beauty and emotion of life's most precious moments. My goal is to create lasting memories all while delivering a warm, professional experience. My mission is to celebrate the unique connections and stories of every individual, ensuring that each image is a reflection of love, joy, and authenticity. The experience is designed to be warm, personal, and stress-free, from the moment you inquire about a session to when you receive your final portraits.
Personalized Consultation:
From the start, I want to understand your vision, style, and specific needs for the session. I want to ensure that the session is tailored to reflect your personality and preferences. In your questionnaire you will have the opportunity to let me know where you would like the session to take place, who will be there, if there are any “must have” photos, and you will have the chance to tell me a little about your personalities. We can also discuss outfit ideas.
Let’s Make it Fun!:
I really want to make the experience fun and comfortable. Happy people make for happy photos! I want you to feel at ease and allow your natural personality and emotions shine through in the photos. I love photographing kiddos playing, and capturing candid moments of joy and connection. I will make sure to offer gentle direction on poses, helping you feel confident and looking your best.
What You Receive:
After your session, I carefully select and edit the best images, bringing out the true beauty of each moment captured. The final gallery of photographs reflects not just the moment, but the emotions and stories behind it. In addition to digital images, I offer high-quality prints and albums, ensuring that the memories you create are preserved in a tangible form that can be passed down through generations.
So back to the original question, “do you like family photos?” I hope you don’t have to think about your answer. My hope is that the experience of the session is just as wonderful as the result. I aim to go beyond just taking pictures. I hope to craft a personalized experience that makes you as my client feel valued, and I strive to create images that capture the true essence of your most important moments.
