I am not your traditional photographer and I don't take many traditional family portraits. I prefer relationship photography. This means I will not really be posing you. The majority of our session is based on creating fun and touching portratis by letting your family be...well...your family.

Make-up: Laides, make-up is a must!! Foundation, mascara and lip gloss are required. I recommend blush too, but that's up to you.

Hair: Please make sure you like your hair the day of your session. There is very little I can do during the editing process to fix your hair. I do not recommend getting your hair cut any sooner than 1 week before your session.

Children: Bring them snacks and a special toy from home. I try my hardest not to tell your child to smile. I work on bringing their smiles out naturally. This captures their true personalities.

Clothing: I want you to be comfortable. You do not have to dress alike, but please coordinate your colors and patterns. If one of you is in yellow stripes and two of you are in pink  polka dots...well then we have a problem. I recommend at least 3/4 length sleeves. Tank tops don't photograph well unless your arms are very defined.

Touch-ups: I edit your portraits for color, lighting and minor blemishes. However, if you would like your portraits airbrushed please let me know so I can quote you a price on those touch-ups.

I do however, recommend that you use my pro lab because they offer higher quality portraits than store labs. I do edit each image on my computer, but every lab screen is calibrated differently. For example, you could take the exact image to the same lab on two different days and get two different looking pictures. Our pro lab assures quality accurately  corrected portraits every time.

5x7: $3.50
8x10: $6.50
