Family portrait sessions that kids (and spouses!) love

NORTHERN VIRGINIA AT-HOME Family Photographer

Outfits? You’ll have access to my online styling service AND style guide. Session prep? I’ve created an entire guide to help get you and your kids ready for photos! 

Life is hard, kids are crazy. Let’s embrace it! Your kids might not do exactly what we ask or look directly at the camera. That’s okay!! I’ll provide plenty of direction, fun prompts and silly games to engage your kids and have all of you laughing and playing together.

I want you to walk away from this experience with something you can hold in your hands. Every MCP client will receive a print credit they can use on albums, framed + matted prints or loose prints.

We want to print our photos. Can you help with that?

I’m worried my kids won’t last a full hour!

WHAT TIME DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH IN-HOME SESSIONS?

I’m not sure my home gets enough light. Can we still do an in-home session?

Why should I do an in-home session?

 But my house isn’t decorated the way I like it and it’s a mess. Can I still have an in-home session?

I am flexible on timing! I like to come when your home is the brightest. That might be the morning if most of your windows face east or the afternoon if most of your windows face west. I also like to make sure I’m not interrupting routine naps and meal times so we can be sure we have happy kids!

Why should I do an in-home session?

But my house isn’t decorated the way I like it and it’s a mess. Can I still have an in-home session?

There are SO MANY reasons! First and foremost, you don’t have to get yourselves in the car, pack a bag, or sit in traffic. Second, there is no better way to tell the true story of your family than taking photos at home - where you make the majority of your memories and share the most love + laughs. Plus, we can do soooo many activities: fort-building, pancake-making, book-reading, bed-jumping, kitchen-dancing or anything else you love to do as a family!

Frequently asked questions

I TOTALLY understand that your kids may have a short attention span. If I were asking them to just look at me and smile for 60 minutes, I would absolutely agree with you. But that’s not how I run my sessions! My sessions are a fun, family-bonding experience: one filled with games and laughter and silliness. Your session time will include snack breaks if necessary AND we’ll tag certain family members in and out – so naturally not everyone will be “on” for the full 60-75 minutes

Frequently asked questions

Yes! In addition to your digital files, you will also receive a print credit that you can put towards a purchase from my print shop, which you will be able to access directly from your gallery. (No downloading from your gallery and then having to upload elsewhere!) You will be able to choose from a range of prints in various sizes, framed images, canvas prints, cards, albums and more!
