Portrait Photography

Don’t Miss Out On Family Memories.

Family portraits are more than just photographs—they’re timeless keepsakes that capture the love, growth, and unique connections within your family. Here’s why they’re so important.

1. Preserve Milestones

Life moves fast. Family portraits freeze those fleeting moments—whether it’s a new addition to the family, a child’s graduation, or just capturing the joy of being together in the here and now.

2. Celebrate Your Legacy

A family portrait tells your family’s story, documenting the bonds that make you who you are. It’s a beautiful way to honor your legacy for future generations to cherish.

3. Create Art for Your Home

Your family is a work of art, and a well-captured portrait turns your loved ones into a masterpiece you can proudly display in your home.

4. Connect Across Generations

Family portraits bridge the gap between generations, providing a way to share stories and memories with grandparents, grandchildren, and everyone in between.

5. Strengthen Family Bonds

Taking the time to come together for a family portrait session creates memories in itself. It’s an opportunity to celebrate your connection and share a meaningful experience.

Whether it’s an annual tradition or a once-in-a-lifetime moment, family portraits give you the gift of reliving your best moments together, over and over again.

Portraits Tell A Story Of Who You Are.

Portraits and family photo shoots have always captured our attention. Whether they are in a frame on a nightstand, or hanging in a nation art gallery, they capture our attention. They tell the story of the subject.

Family portraits, especially children, should be captured every year, a record of just how fast they grow and change. Investing in family photography never comes with regrets, and that’s due in part to the emotional value it comes with.

If you would like to book a portrait session, or arrange a family session, use the link on this page. Sessions can be in the studio, on location, or at your home.

How Important Are Photographs To You?

Families change and evolve quickly. This is why regular family photos are invaluable. For us, these photographs hold a special place in our hearts, capable of evoking tears of joy as we revisit the snapshots of our children from just a few years ago.

If photographs of our loved ones are that important, and they surely are, why don’t we get more professional portraits taken? Yes, it baffles me too. Having a family pictures photographer should be like having a dentist in my opinion. But then again, I am maybe a little biased.

In the face of a disaster, like a fire, most people would grab intensely personal items, including family photographs. A pair of shoes can be replaced, but that photo from five years ago is irreplaceable. This is where a family photographer’s role extends beyond just taking pictures; we become the guardians of your cherished memories – the archivists of your family’s history.

How Important YOUR Photographs Are To Me!

I have had clients reach out in moments of distress, their computer crashing or their laptop stolen, resulting in the loss of their treasured family photos. These issues happen to us all. Fortunately, I retain all photography sessions of our clients, ensuring they can recover at least the pictures I have captured.

The value of family pictures should never be underestimated. As a family photographer, there is nothing more rewarding than witnessing the pure joy on the faces of our clients when they receive their beautiful new photographs. These moments are truly priceless, and they serve as a reminder of the significance of our work.

Ready to preserve your family’s memories with a family pictures photographer? Schedule your session and let’s capture images that you will, without fear of being mushy,  treasure for a lifetime.

Stick With Your Portraits & Family Photographer

It may seem self-serving that as a portraits and family photographer, I’m suggesting that you stick with me, every year, but I do have my genuine reasons.

As a photographer and as a father who has lost a child to sickness, I am acutely aware of the importance of photographs. Every single photograph of my son Christopher is a work of art to me – even if it’s blurry. The importance of the images captured by a portrait photographer is immense, if not today, one day.

The first thing is connection.  In working with your photographer, whether it’s yearly group photos or a birthday party, a relationship is built over time.  And that helps a lot, people are more relaxed around their family photographer if they have been around them many times.

Then there is the style.  Your photographs will be consistent from year to year using the same photographer, and at some point if you decide to put together a photo album, it all gels. It fits together best if the final pictures all come from the same photographer.

Possibly the most important consideration is you are more likely to send a quick email every year saying “Hey, we need new pictures” if you have a good relationship with your family photographer.

Some things to consider, right?

Families Love Photo Shoots.

I have noticed over the many, many photo sessions I have done – families have fun with their photo shoots. Everyone gets dressed up, sometimes it involves larger numbers made up of several families, it’s awesome! It’s like a social gathering of sorts.

My work as a photographer grants me the privilege of seeing families come together and have fun. It’s a beautiful thing.

Best Family Photographer Near Me.

Did you search for “best family photographer near me”? If you did, and I came up, I’m flattered.

Seriously though, I don’t know where I fall on the list of best family photographers, but what I do know is this – I will work hard to make sure you get the family photographs that you desire and deserve. Making sure that you are happy with the results is what it’s all about.

A Word About Quality.

All camera equipment is not the same. I have found myself at events working alongside photographers using equipment that just isn’t professional. And why does that matter?

Well, a really good professional lens might cost $2,500. Just for the lens.  So why would anybody pay that if they can buy a camera and lens combination for $695? The answer is image quality.

If you asked any professional photographer what the most important investment a photographer should make is, they would say: GLASS. By that they mean lenses. Lenses that produce crisp, sharp images with great contrast.  I can look at websites and tell that the images were taken with lesser-quality equipment.

High-end equipment is one of the things that drives the cost of hiring a professional photographer. They invest in their equipment to deliver you the best quality results. And it is worth it in the end. Don’t compromise, it’s not worth it.
