Family Session Pricing & Booking
Hi, I'm Sarah. I'm so glad you're here.
Family photographs are about more than everyone looking at the camera. They're about capturing the personalities, connections, and little moments that make your family yours.
My family sessions are relaxed and thoughtfully guided, with a mix of beautiful portraits and natural moments along the way. I'll help with everything from choosing the right location and planning your wardrobe to guiding you throughout the session, so you can simply enjoy being together.
Take a look through the session options below to find the experience that's right for your family. If you're not sure which to choose, I'm always happy to help.

My Process
1. RESERVE YOUR SESSION
Once you decide to move forward, we’ll reserve a date on the calendar with a signed agreement and session fee. At this time you’ll also receive a planning guide to help prepare for your session.
2. PLANNING & PREPARATION
Together we’ll choose the perfect location for your family — whether that’s the studio, a beautiful outdoor setting, or a combination of both. I’ll also guide you through wardrobe selection so everyone looks coordinated while still feeling like themselves.
3. YOUR family SESSION
Sessions are relaxed and guided to help everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. I gently direct posing while leaving space for natural interactions, laughter, and connection. These in-between moments often become the most meaningful images.
4. IMAGE REVEAL & ORDERING
After your session, your images will be carefully edited and presented in person at your viewing appointment. You may select your favorite images and artwork for your home, and we will also discuss edits and retouching of your selected images.
5. Enjoy your photographs
Once selections are complete, your images will be delivered digitally and any artwork you choose will be professionally produced so your photographs can be enjoyed for years to come.
FAQ
What should we wear?
Neutral tones and soft textures photograph beautifully and keep the focus on your family’s connection. I provide a styling guide after booking to help make outfit planning simple.
What if my children don’t cooperate?
This is completely normal — and honestly expected. My sessions are designed to be relaxed and playful so children can move, explore, and be themselves. Some of the best images come from those natural moments.
Where will our session take place?
Family sessions may take place in the studio, outdoors, or both depending on the look you prefer. I’m happy to recommend beautiful locations throughout North County.
How many images will I see?
You can expect to view approximately 60–100 carefully edited images in your gallery depending on the session flow and variety.
