Your Family Session Details
If you’re looking for a relaxed family photography experience that captures beautiful light, genuine connection, magical moments and timeless images to fill your gallery and eventually your home, you’ve come to the right spot!
The first step in the process is to work together to select your ideal date! Once your date is selected, a signed contract and session fee of $250 secures your date on my calendar.
Given the beautiful colors and temperate weather, spring and fall are the busiest times of year for outdoor family photos in West Virginia. If you’d like a session during one of those times (ESPECIALLY if you want a weekend spot), please get in touch as soon as possible!
Beautiful photographs can be made in any kind of weather, but I understand that there are some downsides to being photographed in the pouring rain or the freezing cold. I can and do reschedule sessions for inclement weather, but am also happy to use your home or one of my favorite indoor locations if sticking to the scheduled date is a priority.

THE PLANNING PROCESS
The day we've all been waiting for!
Your Job: Keep the family chill and relaxed. Get a good night's sleep and a nap if needed. I know it's easy to say, but try not to stress and rest assured that you are in good hands with me.
My Job: Keep an eye on the weather. Be at your location on time, with fresh batteries, extra memory cards and a head full of ideas and inspiration. I'll be there to laugh with you, keep everyone engaged and happy, and capture memories that will stay with you for a lifetime.
Sessions usually last between 45 minutes up to an hour.

You are under no obligation to use your complimentary PRINT CREDIT, but it’s incorporated into your collection price and has no cash value therefore I am not able to give you a discount on your selected collection if you don't wish to use it. You are welcome to use it to purchase additional digital images or gifts for family members.
I like to think one my specialities is interacting with kids - both child wrangling the rambunctious ones and also engaging with the quiet ones. That being said, I'm also a mom, and I get that some times kids just aren't having it. I'm happy to have patience and if need be try again another day.
I believe that simple, classic styles are best and will help provide a timeless look. I recommend choosing a couple of complimentary colors and choose outfits that coordinate but are not overly matching. It can be helpful to include layers and textures, and minimize patterns.
There are lots of reasons you might be interested in an alternative to the full session. Maybe you have littles that aren't up for a full hour or even better you want to be able to book multiple sessions with me throughout the year. I'm happy to offer a mini session any time. They follow the same structure and collection process listed above, but with a shorter session time and a lower price point.
