INQUIRY
To secure your session, please click “BOOK NOW” and provide as much detail as possible. Our communication will primarily take place via email at first and we will then schedule a quick phone call to go over pricing (more info) and whats included and just get to know each other a bit. This first call can also be a video chat if you choose to.
questionnaires
Approx. 2 Months before your big day you will receive two questionnaires for your to fill out. One will be regarding details of your day, location confirmation, bridesmaids, groomsmen, families, and a “requested photos” list. The other will be a timeline questionnaire for your to fill out as detailed as possible so I have a clear picture of your day.
Three weeks before your wedding we will have a phone call or video chat to go over the questionnaires in detail.

after ceremony photos and/or cocktail hour
Beaches can be an ideal setting for your family photo session. I focus on selecting less frequented beaches or parks with a beachfront, which provides a tranquil environment. This choice allows your family to feel more at ease during the shoot and minimizes distractions from other visitors in the background of your images.
reception - part 2
Wildlife sanctuaries, parks, and trails provide excellent settings for family photography. The towering trees, expansive grassy areas, and vibrant foliage create stunning backdrops that enhance your family portraits. Embracing nature in your photos not only captures your family's essence but also showcases the beauty of the environment.
reception - part 2
I will be on the dance floor capturing every fun moment on camera. We will also make sure to photograph some slow dance moments, gathering photos of couples on the dance floor. This is a nice detail to get of your guests.
WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT?
variety of poses & groups
I will guide your family through a range of poses, positioning you in ways that allow for natural interactions, while providing prompts to eliminate any uncertainty during the session. We will create a diverse collection of family photos, including images of the entire group, separate shots of siblings, and individual portraits of each child.
GAMES
Playful games are a great way to get your kiddos to get comfortable and find the natural smiles we want. This will include Races, Ring around the Rosie, Red Light Green Light, Simon Says, etc.
ACTIVITIES
We will throw rocks in the water, climb hills, swing off branches, and more. These are great ways to get the true smiles and shows off each child’s personalities in your photos.
