Family sessions are essential in my opinion. You only have young children for such a short period of time and if you blink you will miss it.

There is no ‘right time’

Family life is always chaotic, right now is the right time.

About your family session

Capturing families is my greatest joy and my focus is not posing but documenting your family as you are. I will give gentle guidance on where to stand and take care of the little details but I truly want you to be you!

All outdoor sessions are held either one hour prior to sunset or the hour after sunrise, which is referred to as golden hour. Golden hour is the most flattering light and has the most gorgeous tones to photograph that will compliment skin tones. Sometimes the sun pops will come out in full power, other days the clouds will give us a more softer emotive look. They are all equally beautiful!

For most beach sessions I recommend sunrise as there are less people around but most importantly for sun placement as we are on the East coast. I do have one beach I use that is very secluded that is perfect for an ‘earlier than sunset’ session - helps with bed times in summer, but of course we will have some locals join us on the sand here and there. I do not shoot at beaches/parks on weekends as they are simply too busy. Plenty of opportunities before & after school/work or take the day off and make it a family day! Beach sessions do incur an additional $100 fee for additional travel/time so please consider this.

After we have completed your booking we will dive into location options, whether that is my local park or a beach.
