What's included

  • A group planning call — headcounts, groupings, and a shot list that still leaves room for real life.
  • A two-hour session at home, in an orchard, or anywhere your family roams.
  • Every combination covered — the big group, grandparents, siblings, and quiet pairs.
  • Sixty hand-edited images in a shareable family gallery.
  • Print collections sized for mantels from here to Ohio.

The flow

Herding cats, kindly

01 — Rally

One call, one shared plan. I learn names, dynamics, and who needs snacks — then schedule around naps and travel.

02 — Roam

Formal groupings first (ten efficient minutes), then everyone relaxes into games, walks, and pie.

03 — Relive

A gallery everyone can download and order from — no gatekeeping the good stuff from grandma.

Good to know

How many people is too many?

There is no too many. My largest session was thirty-four people and two Labradors. Bigger groups just get a slightly longer session.

What if the kids won't cooperate?

They don't have to. I photograph kids as they are — wild, shy, sticky — and parents consistently tell me those frames are their favorites.

Can we split the gallery cost?

Yes — families often split the session fee, and every household can order its own prints from the shared gallery.
