These sessions are a fun way to document your family's growth. With several locations to choose from varying from beach to woods, let the outdoors be your beautiful backdrop while your family plays and poses. Many clients choose these sessions as an option for their yearly Holiday cards, but these images will surely be the ones you'll want to print big for your home. While Fall is the most popular season, Long Island is blessed to have 4 unique seasons which all lend to different vibes for your final images.

FAQ

Who can join family sessions?

The pricing you see above is for immediate family only (parents and children). If you would like a session where extended family members can be included, you must book the "Extended Family" package. Pets are always welcome, but must be leashed!

What do we wear for our family session?

Don't worry! I provide an extensive "What to Wear Guide" that will help you choose the perfect outfits for the entire family.

What if the weather is bad on the day of our family session?

While I'm almost always down to shoot in poor weather (rain or snow can make for really fun pics!), I totally understand that everyone has that ideal vision of a clear day in their heads. This is why I'm very flexible on rescheduling! Fall weekend availability is typically in short supply, so we may need to be flexible to make other days work.

When will we get our photos?

Depending on the time of year, my turnaround time is anywhere from 1 -14 days.

Do I get to choose my photos?

Of course! You will first receive a proofing gallery in which you will have the opportunity to choose your images, as well as purchase additional images. Prints are available for purchase after you receive your final edited gallery.
