Family Photo Sessions

So much love, so many memories, so much… perfect chaos.

No two families are the same (we’re all a little bonkers in our own, unique way). My sessions are built on this knowledge and are flexible to meet whatever your family’s needs might be. We’ll work together to plan your perfect session and then when it all falls apart (#momlife), I’ll be ready with plan b, c, and d.

What’s Included:

  • Approximately 1 hour session

  • Pre-session consultation or questionnaire

  • Welcome and prep guide

  • Location suggestions and guidance

  • Convenient virtual styling tool

  • Access to the client closet

FAQs

  • Generally about 45-60 minutes. This is enough time for us to capture lots of moments in a few different spots before the kids (and adults, let’s be honest) start to crash. There is no time limit or requirement, so if we get what’s needed in 30 minutes, perfect! If it takes a little longer than an hour, great! I’m yours for the session, no stopwatch included.

  • Outside, in your home, at a studio - the re are so many options! For outdoor sessions, I have lots of gorgeous locations that I’m happy to share with you and we’ll find the perfect spot for you!

  • Love it. Bring it on. Wild kids are super fun because they have no inhibitions and are ready to have a good time. I can work with wild!

  • Yes! Family sessions are for immediate family only, but Extended Family Sessions are super fun because there are so many different family combinations and possibilities. It’s so important to get photos with your extended family whenever you get the chance. Plus, there are more people for the kids to play with! Contact me for extended family pricing.

  • Yes! Though not frequently. Mini-sessions are usually held in the spring and fall, and are offered first to returning clients and then to email subscribers. If there are any left, I post them on social media.

What my clients are saying:

  • "Kara is just the best. If you have a husband (or partner or family member) like mine who does not like taking pictures, working with Kara will be the best decision you make. Kara worked her magic to make the session enjoyable and fun (while still using our time efficiently) and capturing the most amazing photos of our family. I will treasure these beautiful moments forever."

    - LISE

  • "Love! I trust Kara with all of our family photos. She is magic at getting the kids to smile and capturing them when they don’t cooperate. Her touchups are so tasteful and skillfully done you’d never know they were done - you just think you looked that amazing. She picks beautiful locations, and gives great advice on styling. These images are an investment, and worth every penny."

    - SARA

  • “Kara has been taking our family pictures for years. I trust her to capture my kids with all their wild and crazy and all the special moments in our lives. I love that she has ideas for each shoot but is also willing to try whatever we come up with. I highly recommend!”
