Family photos. It means something different to almost everyone.
Your mom’s idea of family photos, for example, might have been Olan Mills or the Church Directory. (Shout out to my mom for all those beautiful backdrops we were blessed with as children!) And you know, maybe it still is… to each their own! Still, family photos may take on a different meaning for you.
For me, family photos truly need to be a representation of a family in their NOW. Your NOW is different than your THEN and your SOMEDAY. It’s just as you are. And it’s what allows me to show you the best part of you and those happy, unfailing moments with your favorite people. Because those same people that can get under your skin in a hundred different ways on Wednesday can make you smile when you catch a glimpse of their faces over the mantle on Thursday. Photos of our people remind us of our real life, they remind us of what keeps us going. They matter to you, and believe me when I say, they matter to me.
I want to photograph you in your home, in your favorite place, in your safe zone. Wherever the places you love most with those you can’t live without, I want to be there to capture that. Not only for you, but for those who will come after you. I always use Kodak or Fujifilm on families because it’s so beautiful and I’m such a romantic. And knowing that your grandparents probably used the same film stocks makes me smile.
Our session will last an hour or so, or however long I can hang with the kids before they realize my jokes aren’t funny. My favorite film lab will develop and scan your images. And in a few weeks’ time, you will be gushing over your family photos in a beautiful little online gallery. Hey, you can even show your mom. You never know, she just might like them better than her Olan Mills photos.
Family, Maternity, Newborn and Lifetsyle Sessions start at $500. I do offer milestone sessions, as well as mini session throughout the year. Please contact me to find out more about booking your session!
