Family Photoshoot in Washington DC, Maryland & Northern Virginia
Kids don't hold still for long (honestly, neither do most adults). My approach to family sessions blends gentle posing guidance with real, unscripted moments — the laugh, the chaos, the quiet hand-hold between partners while the kids do their thing. The result is a gallery that looks like your family actually feels, not a stock photo. Available for families of all sizes across Washington DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia.
Family sessions (up to 3 members) starting at $420 · Larger family packages available upon inquiry
What your family session looks like...
It’s not just the full family shot — it’s the in-between moments, the smaller pairings, the way everyone fits together right now.
Your family gallery is built with intention, where every connection is noticed and nothing important gets left out.
Kids don't take direction well. Honestly, that's my favorite part — the chaos, the giggles, the total refusal to look at the camera right before the best shot of the day.
Under Fall foliage or in front of a giant Christmas tree — there is no better time to get the whole family together and capture that family magic!

What You Are Actually Investing In
When you book a session with me, you're not just paying for an hour of photographing at a location. Your investment covers the full process — from your first message to the moment your gallery lands in your inbox.
Before your session:
We'll connect to nail down location, timing, and what to wear. I research lighting conditions, scout spots in advance, and show up ready — so we're making photos from the first minute, not figuring things out on the fly.
My camera and equipment:
Every portrait and couples session in the DMV is shot on professional-grade camera bodies and lenses, with backup gear on hand. The quality of your images starts before I press the shutter.
During your session:
I'm not just holding a camera. I'm giving you pose direction, reading the light, and moving us between setups — all while keeping things relaxed and fun. Most clients tell me they felt awkward for the first few minutes and forgot the camera was there by the end. That's the goal.
After your session — the part most people don't see:
For every hour we spend together, expect 3–6 hours of editing work behind your final gallery. Every image is individually edited in Lightroom and Photoshop: color grading, exposure, skin tones, selective retouching. Yes, I do have my pwn presets from years of shooting, but I don't simply slap on a preset and call it a day. Each photo is finished by hand, to a standard I'm proud to put my name on.
Delivery:
Your gallery is delivered through a secure, password-protected platform — high-resolution files with a personal use license, ready to print, post, and keep for a lifetime.
