FAMILY Photos : What to Expect

A family photoshoot is a relaxed, one hour session aimed at capturing your crew just as you are — the love, laughter, and little interactions that make your family unique. Choose a location from my list of favorites around the Longmont/Boulder/Lyons areas (or if you have someplace else in mind, feel free to run it by me. I’m always up for something new, and practically anywhere can work).

We’ll spend about an hour together, wandering and finding the best light as we go. If you’re a family with young kids, we’ll usually start with the classic family portraits while everyone’s fresh, then move into smaller groupings — siblings, parents, individual shots, etc. Some shots will be posed, but as the session progresses it will shift towards capturing more natural, playful moments and interactions. Don’t worry — I’ll be there guiding the process so you never feel awkward or unsure what to do.

My goal is to make it easy, fun, and full of genuine connection. :)

That’s up to you and me to decide. I have a list of places in the Longmont/Boulder/Lyons area that you can select from, or I’m always open to shooting somewhere else. A place with good light, a reasonably uncluttered background, and space that allows you/your children to be comfortable and be yourself/themselves, are the main things I look for when choosing a spot. This can be a variety of places (your backyard, an empty field, your house, an abandoned building, alleys, a park, etc.), which we can discuss on the phone/through email after we’ve set a date for the session.

Something you feel comfortable in.  My sessions aren’t about holding still and looking flawless, they’re about capturing you being you. Depending on where we shoot, sometimes I have my subjects lay in the grass, run through a field, climb on top of an old train or into abandoned buildings.  Keep that in mind when choosing.

I don’t often include any “props” in my photo sessions, but every once in awhile it can be fun to do a some shots with a couple of appropriate additions.  I love doing “action shots” so if you and your fiance like to ride bikes together, bring the bikes and we’ll do shots of you riding together. If your family loves eating ice cream together, let’s plan a trip to the ice cream parlor for some ice-cream eating shots.  We can talk about this in more depth when you book the session. If you have ideas or requests please let me know.

**For families with young children, plan on also bringing a couple of snacks or diversions for your child just in case we need to take a break.

You’ll see your images in a password-protected online proofing gallery about 1-2 weeks after your session. If you’re on a tight deadline and need to see your images/receive your prints or files sooner, please inquire for rush rates.

I offer a variety of print sizes and packages, in addition to digital files. Prints start at $30. Please contact me for more information on pricing.

No problem! You can use your product credit towards the purchase of the full set of digital files. You will, however, pay a bit more in sales tax vs. purchasing the session + digital files from the get-go (so if you know you’ll want the full set of digital files, it’s best to pick that one when selecting a session).
