THE FAMILY EXPERIENCe

Together we'll pick a location ahead of your session. Meet me at your house, your favorite park, downtown, the Trail or the Prairie. If you do not have a particular place in mind, I gladly share with you some spots around Bloomington/ Normal and Central Illinois, that I know you will love. 

We will meet at our location and go on a relaxed walk together. The kids can move around, jump, run, and do what they love to do. As we move along we will pause and capture your memories and images. I want you to enjoy your session, so you can look at your family portraits and fondly remember the good time you had. There will be lots of tickles, giggles, and laughter, as we capture those perfect moments.

I will pose you and give you prompts for some of the images but I also encourage you to interact with each other so we can document your life - your beautiful moments and the realness you want to remember.

Most of my family session are scheduled for Golden Hour. It is the last hour before sunset and the first hour after sunrise. At no time of the day is the light warmer and more beautiful. Photographers are natural lovers of light, and for us this time of day is just everything we could possibly wish for. But even if you are not a photographer you have probably notice that the light during Golden Hour transforms everything around you. In the Midwest there is nothing quite like the interaction of Golden Hour light and the warm yellows and greens of the grasses. And don’t even get me started on all the beautiful wildflowers we have around here…

 This might mean a late bedtime for your kids after the session, but is so totally worth just this one late night! As we finish your session it will start to get dark and you will head home with smiles on your faces and good memories to look back at and share.

Being a family means you are a part of something very wonderful. It means you will love and be loved for the rest of your life. 

Get ready to go on an adventure and have fun!
