The Family Portrait
Experience
Your children will never be this young, or look at the world quite like this ever again. It’s time to document this stage of your life before it flashes by and you’re sending your babies off to school. Let’s capture your loved ones exactly like they are and I’ll help take care of all the details to make this the easiest YES! you’ve ever made
Do you need family photos?
Family life is busy life - I totally get it! You’ve got work, play dates, sports and activities. Life can get hectic with kids and taking time out for family photos can seem like an unnecessary pause in your scheduled life. But what if I tell you, its a NECESSARY pause?
These family pictures will give you tangible memories to hold onto and something to pass down to your children. Think of how your kiddos eyes light up seeing themselves on your walls. You’ll never regret investing time into your family and that’s exactly what family photos can be.
“Emily was great! She made me feel sooo comfortable throughout the whole shoot and I absolutely loooooved our photos! Highly recommend!” - Courtney

Something changed in me when I had kids. I started understanding the concept of time and how quickly it really does pass you by. I’ve built my business for over 7 years focusing on families and what makes them unique. I want to highlight your love, your connection and relationships, and your personalities.
One of my favorite things in life to do is explore. I absolutely love finding unique locations around the central New York area for your session and think we can find something perfect to fit your family’s vibe.

This is the second time we've used Emily for our family photos and she's amazing! Here's what I love: Booking a session is easy. Come session day, she's fun and easy-going (especially with kiddos!). Then her editing style is to die for. Love everything about her and can't recommend her enough!

Family photos are a timeless tradition and can capture the changes your family goes through throughout the years.
FAQs

I have extensive experience with working with children of all ages, and understand it's hard to hold the interest of a young kiddo. That’s why I allow my sessions to flow naturally. I encourage lots of play and exploration during our session, so your kiddos are focused on their surroundings instead of being made to stand still and smile. We’ll laugh and tickle and cuddle just like if I wasn’t there - and I’ll capture it all!

About two weeks after your session, I'll deliver all of your finished images in an online gallery. You'll be able to see all of your images in color and black and white to start saving your favorites.

My sessions typically start around 60-90 minutes before sunset. It will depend on our location and if the sun is going to set earlier or fall behind a mountain. I want to make sure we’ll have enough sunlight for the entire session and we’re not rushing to beat the sunset. By starting this late in the day, you’ll get magically lighting that compliments locations and families alike!

Like I said earlier, I have an entire closet at your disposal. You can borrow anything your heart desires and I can promise you're going to feel so confident in these choices.
I also create a custom inspiration board for every family. I help with styling for moms, dads, kiddos, you name it. I'll add the colors you prefer, and build a wardrobe based on the places you usually shop. That way you can either go out and get something new and special for your photos, or shop your own closet and find things that are similar to our style guide!
