What are the best locations for a family photo session?
A park is always a great location. It offers simple, noon-cluttered backgrounds that will help your family photos stand out. Trees offer natural shade that is flattering for portraits, but consider that the background also will be present in your photos, and it might be nice to choose a place that has some importance to your family: your home, your backyard, and the street in front of your house are also a good choice.
How much does a family photo session cost?
The session fee starts at $575 and includes a $50 credit towards your print and digital purchases.
What is included?
- 1-1.5 hours of photo session
- One location
- Up to 2 outfits
- You can expect 30-65 final images
- $50 of product credit (for albums, prints, etc)
Are the final photos retouched?
Yes, all selected photos will be retouched to the highest quality, color adjustment, light, framing images, etc.
When will I get my photos?
Your collection of images will be ready within 1-2 weeks of your photo session.
How much time should we schedule for a family photo session?
The session lasts between 1 and 1.5 hours. I will keep taking photos as long as I’m getting great images. Kids have about 45 minutes of energy and patience for family photos, so the best pictures are often captured right at the beginning of the session. That’s why I like to keep the end of the session for candid and unposed photos. We can end the session in a playing form where kids play and have fun. Those photos are also great memories.
Do you offer studio sessions as well?
Yes, I do offer sessions in my Montreal studio. You can see examples of my work here.
What happens if it rains? Or what if my child is sick?
Neither of those situations would make for the best photos. So that’s not good for either of us. I often book a backup date when the initial date is set. Otherwise, you can cancel it (even in the morning of your session), and we will choose another date.
