Our albums

A family portrait album will contain all of your favorite photos from your session and will be something that you and your family will love looking through for many years. There is no generation that doesn’t love the feeling of holding an heirloom album in their hands and turning the page of your family’s story. We love showcasing your memories with a clean design that tells a story, and it will be a treasure to be handed down through the generations.

In keeping with our desire to be kind to Mother Earth, our albums are printed by our lab partner that goes above and beyond in minimizing their footprint in all practices.

What’s your style?

Our sessions are relaxed and fun, capturing a blend of candid family photos, lifestyle photography, and some images inspired by traditional family portraits but with a fresh and current spin.

We believe in letting kids be kids so their personalities really shine through in the photos!  Sitting and smiling can be hard for some kids, so we try to really make it fun for them by getting everyone involved in walking, playing, smelling flowers, or reading a book, for example, and these are often the photos our clients love the most. 

What should we wear?

We recommend wearing clothing that is weather-appropriate and comfortable enough to sit on the ground without feeling self-conscious or restricted. Base your color palette off of a theme so people coordinate but aren’t matchy-matchy. Examples of color themes are sunset, jewels, beach, pastel, earth, etc. If a color theme isn’t your thing, you may also pick two colors and work off of those with different shades, patterns and textures.

what if my child(ren) is wild at our session?

Take a deep breath… it will be ok. Try to focus on positive thoughts. If you’ve had a hectic day or your child(ren) is out of sorts, just do your best to relax and not worry. We also love utilizing kiddos’ energy for the good of the photoshoot! Some fun photos of them running and jumping between posed photos offer a great blend of images, and even the reaction photos of grandparents laughing at their grandkids’ antics can make some of the best family photos.

Even if you’re feeling frustrated, just give them a little extra love - or space, if that’s what they need - and let your photographer do their thing. If your photographer needs some help from you, they’ll let you know. We have some great tricks up our sleeves and are able to capture the beauty amid the chaos.
