“The best time to capture your family was ten years ago. The second best time is NOW.”

I would pay insane amounts of money to go back in time and do sessions like this of my own family, because each year is unique . . . each season you think “This is who we are, this is ‘us’.” And then you turn around and everything has changed.

This will be an investment you will never regret. I promise you . . . one mother to another.

All packages represent discounts over a la carte and must be selected at the time of booking. Payments are made 1/2 at the time of booking and 1/2 at the time of your session. If you choose “Just the Basics” package and decide you’d like a wall gallery or a box set after your shoot, no problem. All products are also available a la carte.

 

FAQs

What kind of day should we capture? The main purpose of these sessions is to capture the real, everyday moments, so just your average day is just perfect. However, the options are limitless, really, but a few awesome ideas might be: your family vacation (I’ve always wanted to visit Hawaii, hint hint), a new baby comes home, grandparent or cousin visit, a big baseball tournament day, a camping trip to the redwoods (almost as good as Hawaii, lol), a beach day, birthday, or any day! We can brainstorm together. So fun!

What if we get sick? -Don’t worry! We will work with you to make sure that your session is a great experience. Sick kids are not good subjects! We will definitely reschedule as needed.

What is a Floating Art Print? Floating art prints are from our signature line of wall galleries. An archival photo print is laminated to a firm board (masonite) with foam spacers to give the “floating” feel. You hang them with included command strips. They are so easy to use and make a truly unique statement on your walls! See them in action here.

Can Grandma and Grandpa join us? Absolutely. Whoever is a part of your life is welcome to be a part of your session. There is no limit to how many people participate, just keep in mind that having at least some of the day be quiet and “normal” is ideal. This isn’t a 10 hour photo shoot, it’s just a day in your life, through photos.

Will this include any formal family photos? No, this is a totally different service than our Custom Photo Sessions. While your whole family may appear in some of the moments captured, this is not a “sit on the couch and look at the camera” session. It’s meant to be a peek into your life or your special moment and very informal.

I still feel nervous. What if my kids don’t cooperate? At the featured session, as I said goodbye to the girls, one of them said to me “I wish you could come every day, Anna Banana. You should capture everything we do, all the time!” I promise you that things will work out. One of the best things about these sessions is that it’s not just one hour. We have all day to let the magic to happen. Even Dad won’t mind.  “Anna was really easy to work with. So easy and fun. Like she was just a part of our family. But with a big camera.” Mike (Dad)

Can I use these sessions for a quinceanera, Bar Mitzva or baby’s first birthday party? Yes! What a great way to capture a special day like that. You’ll have all of the moments, from Dad tying your son’s tie before heading to the synagogue to Great-grandma reading a book to your birthday girl after a long day of preparations and partying.
