Families

Family Time!!

My First Family;

Oh goodness, when I first started I had NO CLUE what I was doing when it came to family sessions! They scared the life out of me, and I just couldn't get past it. Until now that is! I had my first family session this past October {2013} and I LOVED IT! We tried to coordinate with colors of course with Mandy's whole family, but boys will be boys and decided he wanted to wear his favorite outfit. Our session literally lasted 35 minutes and we all walked away thrilled with the results! I started to love family sessions, and since then I am grown to love them even more! When Mandy and her kids showed up for their ordering session, I was over come with excitement because Mandy was just so in love with her images! I am looking forward to working with this adorable family again!

Your family session can take up to an hour, if more time is required an additional fee is required to be paid. This fee and information can be found in your contract.

I am not very big on posing for the camera when it comes to little ones. Of course we are so going to get a few amazing family portraits where EVERYONE is posed, smiling, and looking straight at the camera...but my favorites will always be the children just being themselves, and that is what I want to capture! 

 Ordering Session:

  After your session your sneak peek will be up with in 24-48 hours.  I try to have your session done on time (normally 2-3 weeks after your session). For the new year, I am hoping to get all sessions finished with in 7-10days of their session date.  If it is my busy season then please allow 3-4 weeks for each session to be complete. After your session is complete, we will set up your ordering date. This ordering date takes place 7 days after each session is complete. This is my favorite part! This is where you get to see your images for the first time! We then go from there and start picking your prints!  All members who are ordering should come with you to your ordering session. 

All sessions come with a minimum print requirement of $150.00. We have amazing packages  starting at only $200. Most clients will spend between $450-$1300 on their orders.

 Our digital file collection offers you to print your images at any time, any place you wish. Even though I prefer all prints go through my pro lab I completely understand that sometimes, we just want to print when ever we want. Our digital file package comes on a custom made USB port made just for you and is offered with all digitally enhanced high res photos for only $700. Orders have to be paid the day of your ordering session, if you need to sit down for another ordering session please refer to your contract for details.
