PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION

The second (and most fun step) in our three step process—the actual Photo Session!

Maternity and Family Photography Sessions usually last 1.5-2 hours. We have free gated parking available behind our building right next to the backdoor where I will come down and greet you. 

Both the studio and my camera are set up beforehand so that when you come in we can get started. For Maternity Photography Sessions, I do like to go over some of the cues you will hear me give, as well as go over how to see the light. I also like to do a quick standing yoga pose to get everyone grounded. Note this is not really possible if there are littles, but we can try. 

For Family Photography Sessions, I design the session around the kids and how they are feeling. I find that morning sessions are best for younger kids, as they are awake and more alert during this time. To make sure they feel comfortable, I start with the entire immediate family and one of the parents holding the toddler or baby, then I can work through your goals for the session. For example, the entire family of four, each parent with the baby, each parent with the toddler, individuals of each child, both children together. If grandparents come, I ask that they come after this and then work them in as well.

Note: littles will usually give us about 45 minutes of photographs. I can tell when they are done as they start to look away from the camera.
