Click on the calendar link below to book your Spring Family Portrait Seesion this March, April or May 2023 in Austin, Texas.
A $50 deposit is required to hold your spot. The remainder of your fee is due at. your session.
Trying to decide on the best time for your portrait session…
…and you want bluebonnets – last week of March/first week of April are usually the best bets – but I’ll be keeping a close eye on the available fields and giving you updates if we need to move up or move back a session date.
…and you want wildflowers in general – end of March through beginning of May should be fine.
…and you want to be indoors– let me know and we can be at your house or another indoor space
…and you don’t require flowers– any of the available dates on thecalendarwill do. Let me know if you’d prefer an urban setting or a natural setting. And if you have any locations in mind or want suggestions, just reach out.
What to expect at your family photo session and how to prepare:
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Kids are unpredictable – and I like to go with the flow. Leave all the hard work up to me – just relax & enjoy spending time with your loved ones. I’ll give plenty of directions and have games for us to the play if the little ones want to run off and explore. I’m there to capture the moments that make you all the family you are.
You may be asked to play chase, twirl in a circle, toss your youngest into the air or participate in a hug attack. And if you have ideas of images you want, please let me know.
HOW TO PREPARE:
Pick out what everyone is going to wear (and bring backups if little ones are involved) & book haircuts if needed
If you enjoy getting manicures/pedicures – make time for yourself for a little pampering before your session
Make sure everyone is fed before you arrive (and pack a few snacks/water just in case) – even if “we’ll be getting dinner after” – give the kids some food before you arrive
Depending on the location – bring something that your family enjoys. If we’ll be shooting at a park, bring along a ball, a kite or a favorite toy (but if you can’t think of something you want to bring, it’s purely optional)
Right before you get out the car – do a once-over for the kids – brush their hair, clean their face/put chapstick on their lips if needed
I’ll have my tool kit with me (mirror, combs, wet wipes, etc.) if you need to do some touch-ups before we begin. I’ll also bring a blanket so we can do some shots sitting down as well (just let me know what colors you’re wearing).
