Experience + Investment
Classic lifestyle portrait session fees start at $300 for a weekday and $400 for a weekend + a $200 minimum order that you place after the session is complete and you see your images. I'm not gonna lie - an average shoot with me will produce a LOT of images for you to view, obsess over and make your ordering decisions from. Like a LOT. Don't worry, that is even after I narrow them down and take out repetition or closed eyes yada yada - but I LOVE a lot of them and I SHARE a lot with you. It adds to the fun. A regular session will often yield 200+ beautiful images for you to sort through. Even more for the day-in-the-life Big Mood sessions. And when it comes to what you ultimately purchase: I usually suggest that you let the photos speak to you - they will help you decide which ones to get and what products they need. Trust your gut.
My goal is to have a wonderful, fun, inspiring shoot and then help you find the right package, digital options or custom products for your photos and your family. An average client investment is between $1000 and $3000. Some people get an album every year and as a result they have a beautiful time capsule in every one. Each album is a tale of a stage in their lives, every next book building on the story of the life in the book before it. Alternately, some people grow epic collage gallery walls of framed prints in their hallways or up their stairs. Each year adding a new section so they can gaze at them every day.
Together we can identify options that align with your vision of what you'd like to keep from this special experience and that provide you with the right medium to enjoy your images for many years to come.
Below is the general structure of sessions that I offer!

The Classic-but-Candid Lifestyle Portrait Session
Playful, fun, sweet, ridiculous, adorable... it is all the things in an unhurried amount of time for a session at any location you choose and it is great for any stage. Together we will be capturing the sweetest moments: perhaps some exploration of your surroundings, a generous amount of giggles, snuggles, flower picking, sand sifting, butterfly and pigeon chasing and wave chasing (also snacks). Then, cut to: the family portraits you actually need (we'll get 'em). And then - cut back to the moments you crave, the ones you fear will slip away in the blink of an eye... especially little things like just hugging your kids, booping noses (like baby deer, obviously) or laughing with them - snorting while you laugh is even better, omg. THE moments that you want to literally imprint on the backs of your eyeballs forever and ever. Doing a classic lifestyle session is more condensed and less immersive than the full documentary style "Big Mood" package but still fun, efficient and meaningful! A great way to get started documenting your family and get to know me and my process.
This is the option with the starting session fee pricing of $300/weekday and $400/weekend as discussed above.
The Big Mood ( a Day-in-YOUR-Life )
Documentary Experience
This is the more immersive one you have been asking for (and inspiring me to expand to!). Truly, it's the one that I've been doing like a secret-menu-item for years for the clients that inspire it and adore it and love the candid moments, this package makes tons of room for candids! The Big Mood Package is best when shot primarily at-home (ok ok plus anywhere we can walk to, twist my arm I'll gooooo - the park, the farmers market, your regular Friday diner, Grandma's house...). You, your family and I spend a generous amount of real time together (probably being very silly), this way I can capture the relaxed actual life-vibezzz you all have going on - both the norm and some lightly pre-planned activities that are on brand for you, thrown in. So think: the routines, the chaos, the stuff nobody ever poses for PLUS throw in a few micro events like baking cookies, working in the garden or washing the dog outside (with lots of suds)! I've got tons of inspiration and ideas to share with you or we can brainstorm together about what is meaningful to your crew specifically!
