Top Tips for Successful Family Photography
Choose a journalistic family photographer that keeps your family dynamic in mind and photographs how you are together. Gone are the day of posed soldier images with all of you standing in a straight line. I will keep your family in motion so that you'll receive fun, unposed and natural family portraits.
BEFORE YOUR SESSION
Now that you've decided to book your session with FMP, you can expect a personal experience, from the beginning to the end! Before we even get together, we have processes in place to ensure that you are receiving the experience you want and the products you expect out of your portrait session.
Upon inquiry, you will be sent an email with a booking proposal that will outline all our collections all in one place so it's easy to compare. The appropriate booking contract is included. You will then receive our online questionnaire to get the ball rolling! The contract outlines all terms and conditions and is designed to help you understand exactly what your package includes before committing to the transaction. The questionnaire will gather information to help me get a better idea about your vision, purpose, wants, and needs for your session. The location will then be determined by the type of session you are interested in.
Once booking forms and fees have been received, you will be sent a tips email to help your session go as smoothly as possible. You will be given a session date for your portrait session as well as a second date for weather cancellations.
A day or two prior to your session, you will receive a courtesy reminder email from me. At this time, I will be confirming the time and location with appropriate addresses.
The day of your session will be laid back and fun! You can expect your session to last anywhere from 30 minutes (for mini sessions) to 1 hour (for full sessions) to 1.5 hours (for lifestyle newborn sessions).
AFTER YOUR SESSION
The day after your session, you will receive an email with all the details on when to expect your images.
Within 1 week you will receive a SNEAK PEEK
Within 3 weeks you will receive your PROOFING GALLERY.
PROOFING GALLERIES
Depending on your wish list and your chosen collection, this is when you'll receive a CODE to download your images, order prints and wall art.
You get to do this all from the comfort of your home via your smartphone or computer.
OUR STYLE
I photograph family sessions in a relaxed way at a location of your choice.
Families hire me to come by when the entire family is there for events such as reunions or birthday parties. Most families want their images captured at home and leave the location and backdrops up to me. Local family sessions last approximately 1 hour and then you can continue on with your family gathering.
