After the Session: What Happens Next

You've booked a family session, and you're on your way to documenting precious memories that will be cherished for years to come. But what happens after the session? This guide will walk you through the next steps, from image selection to designing stunning heirlooms that will grace your home and tell your family's story.

Collaborating Together

My clients' experience goes beyond just the photoshoot. I believe in fostering a collaborative journey, ensuring you feel comfortable, confident, and excited throughout the entire process. From the initial consultation, where we discuss your vision, to the final reveal of your finished photographs, I am here to guide you every step of the way.

Finding Your Perfect Images

Once your session is complete, we'll schedule a dedicated consultation. During this consultation, I will guide you through a curated selection of your beautiful portraits. Whether you're drawn to playful candids or heartwarming portraits, I will help you identify the images that resonate most deeply with you.

Transforming Memories into Heirlooms

I understand that we live in a digital world, but there's something truly special about holding a beautifully printed photograph in your hands. Your family portraits deserve to be elevated from the confines of a screen and displayed with pride within the walls of your home.

Heirloom Photo Albums

Imagine a stunning, hand-crafted album that tells the story of your family through breathtaking images. Heirloom photo albums are more than just collections of pictures; they're personalized masterpieces designed to be treasured for generations to come. During our post-session meeting, I will walk you through the process of custom-designing your album, help you select the perfect images, and craft a layout that flows seamlessly.

Owning a high-quality photo album offers countless benefits, including:

  • Family Fun: Kids (and adults!) will enjoy flipping through the pages, reliving cherished memories, and soaking in the joy of your session.

  • Elevated Decor: Display your album proudly on a bookshelf or coffee table, adding a touch of personalized beauty to your home decor.

  • Quantity with Quality: Our albums allow you to print a larger volume of your favorite photographs without sacrificing quality. Now, everyone can have a piece of the magic!

  • The Gift of Memories: Family photo albums make incredible gifts for grandparents, aunts, uncles, and anyone who holds a special place in your family's story.

In-Home Gallery Walls

Let's not forget the walls of your home! My gallery wall service allows you to transform those treasured portraits into stunning artwork that enhances your living space. 

Here's how it works:

  • Expert Design: I will personally design a custom gallery layout, tailored to the specific space in your home and your chosen photographs. I will consider lighting, proportions, and overall aesthetics to create a cohesive and visually stunning display.

  • High-Quality Printing and Framing: My preferred printers use only the finest materials to ensure your photographs are preserved beautifully and presented with elegance.

  • Professional Installation: My trusted installation team will meticulously hang your gallery, ensuring that it is perfectly level and complements the architecture of your home.

Every time you walk past your in-home gallery or sit down to flip through your heirloom album, you'll be transported back to those special moments captured during your session. The joy, the laughter, the loveā€”it all comes alive again, reminding you of the beautiful and unique bond you share with your family.
