Family Photosession Sneak Peek and Full slideshow!

When Becky called me about a session, we must have talked for at least an hour. How this was possible when she has 5 boys between 17 and 2 yrs old traipsing around the house, is beyond me. I have a hard time being on the phone sometimes with just one.! The joy and exuberance that emanates from Becky, was contagious, and when I got off the phone my cheeks hurt from smiling and I was beyond excited to work with her and her family.

Like many clients Becky was concerned about what to wear and what to have the boys and her husband wear for the session. I am going to admit right here and now.

I don’t feel comfortable acting as a stylist. I admire photographers that stylize their shoots and dream of someday being better at it, but I am not an expert by any stretch. Because of this I purchased a what to wear guide from a photographer I admire and know that is from another state. I often email this what to wear guide to clients when they ask for advice, but sometimes a client still feels lost. In these situations I offer to come by the clients house to look at some options and give my advice.

This summer has been jam packed so the only time I could find to go Becky’s house before the session was after picking up Trey at camp one day. Becky was even more warm and loving in person. She welcomed us into the house, Trey ran off to climb up to their treehouse and take a swim while Becky and I looked through clothes, talked, giggled and even jumped around a bit with excitement when we settled on clothes for the shoot. Trey and I really enjoyed visiting with them and I just knew our session would be a blast.

And so it was!

The session photographs tell a story about a family. There are often so many images in the gallery, that people don’t find it in their budget to purchase all of them. A wonderful option is to purchase a DVD of the gallery slide show. I use a very high quality company that will burn a professional grade DVD that comes in a beautiful leather bound box. You can even choose your own song if you want one other than the one I choose for you. This DVD contains all the images from your session set to music. It will be something you can play and enjoy for generations to come for just $150. Much more economical than purchasing fine art prints of all the images from your session. This of course is always an option too.

Here is a slide show from the Ryan Family Photo session.
