What kind of photographer are you?
I love to help families relax and have fun for their photos! We’re usually outside in natural light in the hour or two before sunset, so we can get those beautiful golden hour rays of light. So I’d guess you’d say I’m a natural light family lifestyle photographer.
Where will my session be held?
We’ll work together to decide on the best location for your family. I have great locations in mind, depending on whether you like fields, parks, woodlands, bridges, or urban photos!
Or if you have a particular place you’d like, I’m open to new options as well.
If you’d like to have your photoshoot at your house, late morning is usually the best time, instead of around sunset for outdoor locations.
How long will my session be?
I’m putting the controls in your hands! My Fast and Fun package is just half an hour if your kids may not have the patience for a longer session; the Just Right package is about an hour, which works great for most families; or the Spend Some Time package, two hours, which allows enough time to take photos during an activity like mini-golfing or a birthday party!
No matter which package you choose, we’ll get some fun photos of your family to treasure.
What will my session be like?
I aim to help Mom feel good, Dad to relax, and the kids to have fun. Let me handle making them smile, so you can let go of some worries for a little while and just enjoy being with your family.
I’ll take care of getting the picture for Grandma’s photo wall, then just creating photos together to help you remember how your family feels at this point in your life together.
What should I wear?
Whatever you feel good in! I advise not to perfectly match each person’s outfit together (i.e. everyone wearing white polos and blue jeans). Instead, coordinate outfits that go well together and show off your family’s personality.
You can read my full blog post here on choosing outfits for your family’s photoshoot!
If you need more help on what to wear, please send me a message and we can work together on it.
How far out are you booked?
It’s best to book at least one month out. That way we’ll have plenty of time to talk about locations, time, what to wear, how to prepare your family (especially if you have young kids: snacks and a nap right beforehand!).
Will I get the digital photos from my session?
Yes! I use a private online gallery service where you can download all or some of your photos, share the photos with your family, and even order prints (which I much appreciate if you order there!).
How can I order prints and products from you?
You can do that right in the private online gallery that I’ll send to you when your photos are ready. Pick your favorites, what sizes of prints or other products you’d like, even create a whole album right there. A portion of your purchase helps support DK Photography and keeps us going, so thank you!
