Family Sessions Made Easy
Whether you're a family of two or two hundred, I got you covered.
I know family sessions can be a hassle, almost like wrangling cats at times.
But, family moments can vanish in a blink of an eye from growing kids to becoming parents, so why not capture those moments as they should be remembered.
So, I’m here to make sure this feels like a breeze and capture your adventure in photographs that make you laugh, smile, cry (happy tears only), make others cry, and altogether remember your family in the moment.

FAQ
How Do I Book?
Great question! First it would be best to contact me. We talk about what we're looking to do. I then send a portrait release/contract. No retainer required, but full payment is due at the session.
Types of Payment?
I accept payment through my secure portal that is facilitated through my website. You have the ability to pay via Credit or Debit card.
**I do not accept checks as forms of payment.**
Where are you based and do you travel?
I'm based in Kalamazoo Michigan and YES I love to travel! West Michigan is my home base and there is no travel fee for 1 hours outside of Kalamazoo. If you want me to photograph your adventure, it may require a travel fee, depending on where it takes place. If you are having a wedding that requires travel, please reach out to me and we can figure out the best plan for your day!
When will we get our photos?
Your will receive an online gallery link with all your photos usually within 8 weeks (sometimes less depending on the season). You can download all the photos from the gallery, share them with friends and family, choose your favorites, and also order prints!
How many pictures will we receive?
Family session can receive anywhere from 50 - 200 images depending on the amount of time and smoothness. I always choose quality rather than quantity and that's why I will choose the best and more significant photos to tell your story.
Do you edit the photos?
Absolutely! As part of my brand and image all photos are run through a rigorous workflow, sorted, rated, and then edit for color, lighting, clarity and small blemishes. If larger edits are needed (e.g. swapping heads, removing unwanted objects, heavier blemish removal) a nominal fee will be assessed. Please contact me for questions.
Can I have all the images you take?
Short answer, No. As a service to you and making sure all images are quality and reflect my brand and vision, I don't allow every frame taken to go to clients. Why? Because no one wants 10 photos of the same thing, nor those half eye-lid open/closed images. I assure you that upon delivery you have every image that reflects the day handpicked as the best of the best.
What if I need more time?
Add it! If you need more time we can most definitely accommodate that for an additional $400/hour you can add to your package. Reach out with any questions you may have.
How long do the online galleries stay up?
They are guaranteed to be hosted up to one (1) year past delivery date. However, most wedding galleries will stay up indefinitely and you'll receive notifications if the gallery were to ever need to come down so we can make arrangements that you have your photos available to you forever.
What equipment do you use?
Canon! My current fleet is two Canon 5D Mark iii as well as my Second shooter. I use a range of lenses and flashes, all Canon. For editing Macs and Adobe everything. I also use a plethora light altering tools to get the creative juices flowing.
