Family Sessions, whether On-location or At-home, are relaxed and fun! I take an approach that produces a rich blend of lifestyle photographs with artistically posed ones. I've found in my years of experience in first teaching children to now photographing them, the most successful photo sessions are when children are allowed to play and interact with family members in a natural manner. The photographs created are honest and beautiful because they represent the real you. Your images will be in bold colors (with the occasional black & white versions) and rich contrast between dark and light.

"We LOOOOOVE these!! It is going to be impossible to choose from all the outstanding photos Jennifer took! THANK YOU SO MUCH, Jennifer, for capturing our family and the sweet sweet essence of our kiddos! We are so grateful to have these beautiful shots and can't wait to get them up in our house!" - Tiffany, mom
"Jennifer has provided us with raw, unique, intimate family photos for the past few years. Jennifer captures small details in a way that solidifies them in history. Our oldest daughter’s way of pulling the entire family in for a hug, our youngest daughter’s sweet habit of offering kisses, both of their ever-changing facial expressions are now captured forever. Fleeting things that we get so caught up in the day to day, we may not think to pause and capture, Jennifer’s intuitive eye and mind picks up on. She’s also extremely calm and approachable, sure to make even the most nervous subject at ease. There are tons of photographers who can stage your family and get you a “nice” family photo. Jennifer does so much more." -Christina, mom
Sessions are either one or two hours in length. Family portrait sessions are either On-location, meaning we meet at an agreed upon public space outdoors or At-home, your home. The pricing below is for the time photographing and editing. You may purchase your gallery of files at the time of booking or wait to see your images before deciding. If you choose to purchase your gallery of files at the time of booking, you’ll be given a $50 deduction in cost for the gallery of images. If you choose to pay for the time only, digital files, printed images, and/or albums may be purchased when your gallery is shared with you two weeks after the session. Digital files are the most common choice. They are sold individually for $35, in sets of 10 for $200, or all the edited images from your gallery for $600 (1 hour) and $700 (2 hours). Tax isn't added to the session fee, but there is a 10% sales tax on products like digital files, printed images, and albums as required by the state of Alabama.
