PLANNING YOUR FAMILY SESSION
My philosophy around capturing families is simple. Natural, organic looking backdrops, good light, minimal ‘posing’ and lots of cuddles hugs and laughs.
The best shoots happen for those that come with a ‘go with the flow’ mentality. Kids will be kids and I want to embrace that! If you're worried about them holding stiff smiles or keeping their clothes clean, I might not be the right photographer for you.
I want the in-between moments. The messy real family love. Bear hugs and goofy faces.
Let the kids run, let them get their jeans dirty, bring the dogs, bribe them with ice cream.
All Sessions take place in the Langley area
White Rock, Abbotsford, Chilliwack & Maple Ridge + $100
Existing Clients $700
New Clients $800
What to expect?
No family session takes the same amount of time, because no family is the same. I shoot until I know I have what I need.
If it’s just Mom and a young baby in her arms then it might be really quick. But if you’re a family of 5 and toddler number 2 is shy or having an off day, then it’ll take a little patience and time. Generally, nothing goes over an hour though. I want it to stay fun and engaging for everyone!
I’ll find us an amazing location and let you know when the magic ‘golden hour’ is on your chosen date.
Sessions come with a minimum of 50 digital images in an online gallery, delivered in an average of 2-3 weeks. You can also expect to see some previews within a day or two of your session!
What to wear
Keep it casual. No high heels or business vibes (these aren’t realtor headshots)
Earth tones and subtle patterns are your friends!
Mixing patterns - good.
Everyone matching - bad.
