Your portrait experience starts the moment you book your shoot. Here’s everything you can expect when you schedule your session.
When you're ready to book your family session, the first step is scheduling a free phone consultation with me. This is a great time to get to know each other, discuss your goals and expectations for the shoot, and ask any questions you may have. Together, we’ll select a date and time for your session, explore location ideas, and talk through wardrobe options—I'm here to help every step of the way!
Session Includes:
Up to 5 immediate family members
Extended family sessions available upon request
When it’s time for your shoot, we’ll meet at the location we agreed on—whether it’s a local park, beach, or my studio in Whitinsville, MA. I’ll have you give me a call when you arrive so I know you’re there! We’ll take a few moments to chat and create a game plan for the session. If the little ones are shy, I may start with them or have you play with them to capture those sweet, natural moments. I’ll do whatever it takes to get those smiles, even if I need you to be a little silly behind the camera!
If you'd like to include a family pet in the session, please bring a third party (not being photographed) to look after the pet when we’re not taking pictures. *This is non-negotiable—pets may not be left in the car or tied up during the session.
Session Includes:
Pre-shoot styling consultation
Up to 5 immediate family members (Extended family portraits can be discussed during your consultation)
One outfit (I recommend layering or adding accessories for variety)
All artistic editing and retouching
In-person photo reveal & ordering day
After your session, we’ll schedule your in-person reveal day, where you’ll view your images and I’ll guide you through selecting your favorites. During this session, we’ll discuss different packages and options to help you preserve these memories in the way that best suits you.
A la carte options include: Digital Files, Albums, Prints, Gallery Wraps, Glass Display Boxes, Crystal Thumb Drives, and a Personal Phone App to keep your memories with you wherever you go.
Payment Plans Available for all Product Orders
I understand that family portraits are a significant investment in your family’s legacy and heirlooms. To make this more accessible, I offer flexible payment plans for all product orders. I have several options available to meet your financial needs, so please let me know during our consultation if a payment plan will help make this session a reality!
