Family Photographer in Everett, WA
Family Photography FAQs
How do I book a family session?
Book online in a few minutes. Choose your date, pay 50% to reserve, and we'll send your contract and questionnaire right after. The rest is due 1 week before your session.
How much do family photos cost?
My family session is $350. It includes 30 minutes in the studio and 3 edited digital photos. Extra photos are $25 each with no minimum purchase. You can also upgrade to 10, 20, or 40 digitals at a discount when you book.
How long is a family session?
The session is 30 minutes. That is the sweet spot for kids, so they stay happy and the photos stay natural. Plan about 30 more minutes after your session to view and order your photos.
How many people can be in the photos?
Up to 6 people. For a larger group, like grandparents and cousins, please contact me before you book so I can plan for everyone.
What should we wear?
Choose colors that go together, and avoid busy patterns or large logos. Neutrals and soft tones photograph beautifully, and layers and textures add depth.
Can we bring props or personal items?
Yes. A favorite blanket, a toy for little ones, or a family heirloom can make your photos personal. Let me know before your session if you plan to bring something special.
How should we prepare our kids?
Make sure they are rested and fed before the session. Bring snacks and a favorite toy. I keep things fun and relaxed so they can smile naturally.
What if my child doesn’t cooperate?
That’s okay. I am patient and playful, and we take breaks when needed. Some of the best photos happen in the in-between moments.
Can we do both candid and posed photos?
Yes. I guide you into natural, relaxed poses and also capture the real moments in between.
When will we see our photos?
Right after your session. You watch your photos on the big screen in my studio, and I help you choose your favorites.
Do you offer retouching?
Yes. Basic edits are included. My process includes hand editing for color, crop, and exposure, followed by skin and hair smoothing and blemish removal. More advanced retouching is always available on a case-by-case basis. Ask about adjustments while we are selecting your photos!
How do I get my final photos?
Your digital photos arrive in an online gallery, ready to download and share. Prints, albums, and wall art are shipped to you.
Can I use this session for milestones too?
Yes. The same 30-minute session works for cake smash, sitter sessions, headshots, and high school seniors.
Where is the studio?
My studio is at 2815 Baker Ave, Suite 205, in Everett, WA. It is just minutes off I-5, with easy parking, and serves Seattle and all of Snohomish County.
