Moments for Family Pictures

There are alternatives to the studio portrait session for families. Dress down and let us capture your family as they really are and in the ways you’ll want to always remember. Do your normal routine: a family game night, take a walk, play in the backyard, or head into town for shopping or a visit to the playground. Get the entire family out there raking autumn leaves, and get it photographed. There are opportunities for beautiful, candid shots of you with the people you love … as well as a lot of opportunities for humor and self-aware confidence. Using photographs from that stage of the ‘day in your life’, for a family portrait reveals an enviable comfort with the real moments of family life that some people would love to share and show for many years. Have some fun in the kitchen making dinner together, some pancakes, or some cookies. Plan a classic picnic at the beach, or an afternoon in the park, and enjoy yourselves while your photographer captures the real expressions, the true interactions of the gathered group and the quiet conversations.

Pictures of Family Moments

Capture the real-life situations and emotions of the milestones and celebrations people plan but don’t think about photographing until too late, so they resort to their phone’s camera. The birth of a child. Bar Mitzvahs. Family reunions. Birthday parties. While better than no record at all, there’s usually an important person missing from all the photos: you! And because you want to interact with your friends and guests, most all of your shots will be awkwardly assembled groups, smiling for your phone. (Or you may resort to group selfies, to get yourself in the picture.) It makes for an unsatisfying occasion for you and, usually, pictures that don’t feel as special as the moments they were meant to document. As you can probably see, hiring a professional family photojournalist instead could create the same kind of stunning and intimate record of your event that is often only thought of for weddings.
