Family portraits should reflect the real connections and everyday interactions that make your family unique. My photography embraces a timeless, minimalist approach with softly sunlit, simple, and clean aesthetics. Outdoor family photo sessions take place in the evening for the most beautiful golden light, and you can choose between my favorite field in Simsbury, CT, or a custom outdoor location that suits your vision. I capture a mix of carefully composed poses and spontaneous, candid moments in a relaxed, fun setting, ensuring your final collection highlights the genuine energy and ease of your family in a clean and elegant style.
What can i expect during a session?
Our sessions are relaxed and carefree. I capture a mix of candid moments and thoughtfully posed portraits of the entire family as well as individual children. My goal is to evoke natural smiles and genuine eye contact.
What should we wear?
Clothing is a key part of your final images. I recommend simple, coordinated outfits in neutral tones. As my client, you have access to our curated studio wardrobe with options for the whole family. If you’d like assistance, I offer wardrobe consultations and can put together a style/inspiration board to help you choose the perfect look.
What time are outdoor sessions scheduled?
For optimal lighting, outdoor sessions are scheduled to begin approximately one hour before sunset. In mid-summer, sunset can be as late as 8:30 in the evening. If you have small children that go to bed early I recommend a spring or fall session, when the sun sets earlier in the day.
Will I receive black and white versions of the images?
Yes! All sessions, including Family Portraits, include both color and black and white copies of each image, so you can choose which style you love most.
What happens if it rains?
We simply reschedule! I hold space in my calendar for make-up sessions, so we can easily move to a day with better conditions.
