Family Sessions

Each family is unique, so we'll fit our session to meet your family's needs and adjust as necessary.  

Real smiles make for the best photographs, so we believe a family session should be an excuse to have fun and laugh together.


"Laurel and Brian did an amazing job of taking photos that my family and I will cherish forever. We had hoped to get 1 or 2 photos to use on our holiday cards but ended up having trouble picking between a bunch of them! (And taking so many great photos was no easy feat considering we have a 9 month old who we weren’t sure would cooperate!) Laurel and Brian made the experience fun for both our little one and our four year old (our four year old particularly loved being able to toss fall leaves into the sky) which made it fun for my husband and I as well. They were warm, friendly, professional and had a variety of good ideas for shots. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone and look forward to our next shoot with them."


We love working with families of all sizes. From smaller families to larger groups with the whole extended fam, we’ll find a spot that works for the ages, mobility levels, and desires of your group.

“I'm so glad that Laurel and Brian captured our family time together at Acadia National Park! It is truly one of the most beautiful places, and now we have memories hanging on our wall to enjoy every day at home. We had a big group of 10 and Laurel and Brian effectively wrangled our group and also got all of the combinations of family units. Be sure to book them to document your vacation!”
