:: Columbus Family Photography ::
From the moment you book with me, I'm here to guide you through:
- Not sure about colors? I recommend coordinating not matching
- You can send me outfit ideas and I'll help you narrow it down
- Need suggestions on choosing your location? I have plenty of suggestions.
I've been a photographer for almost 10 years, and before that I was an elementary art teacher... so I'm really good with kids!! And I firmly believe in capturing everyone's personality - the way they are... I don't believe in perfection, so I won't overly pose. We want authentic smiles and giggles... so we play a lot!! And I let them be in charge in making decisions (of course I'm guiding them... but they don't know that).

The best memories live in the now... in their vibrant, stubborn, dramatic, shy, and curious little personalities. With each stage of life, they change just a little... if you want to remember each stage exactly how they were, you need to allow their little personalities to shine (even if they are a little wild for pictures - I can handle it, probably because I'm a little wild too. You won't believe the funny noises that I make!!)
Please please please please please... don't bribe them, don't threaten them, and don't scold them for not sitting still. I would rather you hype them up - tell them that they are going to meet a funny lady who makes funny sounds and tells amazing stories... and that we are going to have so much fun!!! (Because that's the truth)!!
You'll have a hard time choosing which photos you want!!

:: Full Family Session ::- up to 2 hours
- 1 location** - 30 digital images* - Printing Rights - $450 * with the option to purchase more If all of your kids are older than 10, and you only have a family of 4 - then no, we probably don't need 2 hours. But if you have anyone under the age of 10... especially 5 and under - we need wiggle room in our schedule to give them room to breathe and run. They need a lot of transition time to explore... and sometimes these become the artistic photos Because I don't believe in forcing kids to smile. |
:: Mini Family Session ::- 45 min.
- Highbanks Park - 12 digital images of your choice* - Social Media and Printing Rights - $275 * with the option to purchase more I only shoot at Highbanks Park. You have your choice between River, Woods, or Open Fields. The River has a rock beach, wade in the water, and a tree that you can climb over the water.* The Woods has steps, a bridge and an overlook deck. And Open Fields has nothing but fields and open skies. *(We can only use the river if the water is low.) |
We can rent a studio if you want one, but I like to do photography around Columbus, Ohio.
