As much as most of us love, value and want family portraits, I know that sometimes, the process of having our pictures taken can still be daunting– whether because of discomfort with having our picture taken, or because of physical conditions or limitations that we fear might impact our session experience.


I understand those concerns, and as your photographer, part of my job is planning your session with those factors in mind.


If you can share with me any of these elements that may impact your upcoming session, I can plan for posing, directing, editing and processing accordingly!

Family life and family relationships can be complex, even in the most loving and stable families! If there are current tensions between certain siblings, a complex or still-developing connection due to a blended family dynamic, etc.– making me aware of these factors that may impact your family's comfort during your session enables me to be discreetly sensitive in my posing and directing.

Not everyone is excited about having portraits taken, and the reasons can vary wildly! Please feel free to share these factors with me, so that I can plan accordingly.

Most of the time, the physical characteristics that make us feel insecure about ourselves are things that others either don't notice, or would actually consider to be positives. But if there is anything that tends to make a family member not like pictures of themselves, please let me know so that I can pose and direct them in a way that best accommodates those factors.

If you have a family member with autism who struggles with the typical eye-contact-and-smile poses, a child with IBS who needs a location with bathrooms nearby, or a family member with knee or back issues that may make seated poses uncomfortable– sharing these situations with me will enable me to plan your session in a way that is comfortable for all involved.
