Your family, in your backyard, at sunset, doing your favorite family activities! Sessions will include all immediate family members. We'll start about 2 hours before sunset, so roughly 6:30pm. And we can do any of the following activities: pool, slip'n'slide, grilling, fire/s'mores, backyard games (kickball, chalk), ice cream eating, playground/swingset.
Backyard Sessions are offered June through August at sunset. If requested by the family, we will start with 10-15 minutes of "traditional" family photos and quickly move on to the planned activities. We'll work together beforehand to put together a plan for the evening! A typical evening might go like this: traditional photos, dry Games, wet play, and finishing up with a summer treat (s'mores, popsicles, etc.).
Simply put, you NEED this. An unposed, unscripted, hangout session with your family where you spend the majority of your time. These sessions offer a relaxed, authentic way to capture the true essence of your family without the stress of posed, traditional photography. We will choose 2-3 activities ahead of time and I will photograph your family interacting and connecting with one another while you play, cook, swim, eat, or just hang out! These sessions focus on real emotions and candid interactions, preserving memories in a way that feels genuine and timeless.
Once you book your Backyard Session, I'll be in touch about choosing 2-3 activities. You must choose at least one activity. These are mainly Documentary Sessions and the word "cheese" will not be permitted unless you plan on grilling up burgers! The entire session takes about 90 minutes and by the time I leave, you'll have created beautiful memories with your family. Photographs will soon join via your inbox and then in the form of an album or prints for your walls.
