Why Invest in a Family Photo Session?
What is the best age to photograph my child?
Newborn photo sessions are best within the first 2 weeks of birth. During this time, your newborn will likely sleep most during the day, which will allow us to move her around without waking easily.
The next good time for baby photos is around 3-4 months when babies have good head control. Your baby has started to respond regularly to your voice, and your face, even though they are still very limited in positions they can hold, capturing these beautiful interactions between individual family members and child can be quite magical.
And who can resist tummy time shots?
Then again when babies are between 6-8 months – there’s a window of opportunity at this age that is ideal for photos – right when the baby can sit up unassisted (it’s ok to be a little wobbly) but not yet crawling. This age makes for some of our cutest sessions! Our clients love our unique styles and both B&W and color shots of this age, we have numerous props that work well for these ages if you wish to use them.
Then, of course, around 12 months when babies are on their feet! First birthdays are a time of Celebration! Of course, this session does not have to be birthday-themed at all, it can purely be them as they are, cute, natural, and loved! A 12-month-old loves exploring outside, especially if they are comfortable standing holding on to something, or have already started walking.
Additional milestones are 18 months to 2 years old just an adorable age, you could eat them up they are so cute!! They love you to pieces, say or do the funniest things, and are too delicious for words! Then yearly around the holidays for some awesome family photos.
Teens
Teens and tweens often have mixed feelings about photo sessions. Some (usually the boys) think it’s going to be boring or awkward, while others (often the girls) can’t wait to get in front of the camera, thanks to their love of selfies. By the end of the shoot, the boys are pleasantly surprised at how much fun they had, and the girls leave even more excited, eagerly anticipating their photos. It’s a win-win for everyone!
Encourage your teenagers to bring along several changes of clothing they love to wear! Add accessories, jackets, scarves, hats, makeup if desired, hair clips, gel, items they love such as instruments, sporting equipment if appropriate, headphones/music… whatever floats their boat!
Don’t leave your children to boring school portraits once a year! Family portrait photography is a wonderful way to capture your child’s milestones and blossoming personality. From quirky smiles and giggles to the whimsy and curiosity of childhood. Professional photography is the perfect way to capture your family’s love as beautiful art.
Extended Family Photo Session
An extended family photo session is the perfect opportunity to gather your loved ones and capture the bond that holds generations together. Whether it’s grandparents, parents, siblings, cousins, or even close family friends, these sessions are designed to celebrate the unique connection that your family shares.
Our extended family sessions are relaxed and fun, giving everyone the chance to shine while creating lasting memories. We offer a mix of group shots, individual portraits, and smaller family combinations so that each relationship is beautifully captured. Sessions can take place at a location of your choice—whether it's the comfort of your home, a scenic outdoor spot, or our studio.
Family is one of the most important things in life, and there’s nothing more special than preserving these moments for generations to come. After your session, we’ll help you select the perfect images to turn into stunning wall art, framed portraits, or heirloom albums that will become cherished keepsakes for everyone.
