With all of the families we serve, one thing remains consistent- They desire beautiful family portraits but feel overwhelmed about how to make it happen.

The biggest barrier to getting custom portraiture is the time and effort it takes to plan and execute your session. And even if you can pull all the pieces together for a Philadelphia family photography session, you are stuck with an overwhelming pile of digital files that you can't imagine narrowing down, let alone printing.
All of these roadblocks are handled with my custom portrait process.

Here are the top 3 things that set my family portraits apart:

I have a Client Closet of over 180 dresses specifically geared for pre and postpartum bodies in a range of colors and styles that I know will photograph beautifully. I also stock children's clothing to give your session a beautifully curated style. While I don't stock men's apparel I do make recommendations for Dads attire.

Based on your style preferences, I make location recommendations and work with you on finalizing our best meetup time based on your children's schedules. Because I bring Mom and Child attire, you just need to show up ready to have fun with your family.

After your session, we will schedule your gallery premiere! This is where we will look through all of the beautiful images that we created together and design custom artwork that will live within your home. I predesign wall art collections and pull favorites to give you a jumping off point for enjoying your image investment. All final artwork orders and digital file collections are placed and paid for at your ordering appointment.

3 TIPS FOR STYLING YOUR FAMILY’S PORTRAIT SESSION

frequently asked questions

Why is this investment worth it?

There are many things we spend money on that quickly lose their value over time, a custom Philadelphia family photography session is an investment that will only increase in value. Your family will have these tangible memories to look back on as your family grows and changes over time.

I’m worried about how my kiddos will behave during our session, how can you help me?

First and foremost, our sessions are about play and photographing the joy that exists within your family. I start with more straight ahead family poses to get some straight to camera shots first thing. From there we focus on play-based posing that encourages natural reactions for your family. We will walk, talk, have fun and get to know each other during the session. If your kiddos ever reach a point where it seems like they need a quick break, that’s okay! We want a comfortable and happy session during our time together.

How will I know what to wear for my session?

Styling the whole family is a pain point for many of my families when they think about scheduling their Philly family session. That is why I offer a client wardrobe of over 100 dresses for mom and options for kiddos. This allows me to fully style your family in a cohesive style and color palette that will photograph beautifully. I send a style mood board that shows the options we pull for mom and suggestions for any male partner.

How do I choose a session location?

Sessions are scheduled either in our natural light studio or one of our “field” locations. I have a collection of outdoor options that I know photograph beautifully for you and your family that you will choose from. I walk each family through their options and we pick a location that is the perfect fit for you!
