FAMILY sessions
We're the home of the quick-and-easy photoshoots. Once we started our own family, we realized just how quickly we could capture a lot of images in a short time. Let's make this a fun experience that's painless for everyone—kids and spouses included;)
** We're currently offering limited booking this fall. However, stay tuned to our Facebook and Instagram pages for available dates! We'll have a Fall Mini Session event and possibly other select openings for other session types.
Short & Sweet Session
MOST POPULAR! This session has quickly become a fan favorite. It's the perfect amount of time to capture a large variety of images of your family, providing you with a robust photo gallery to choose from. We get a mix of posed and candid images and have some fun while doing it. We capture full family photos, as well as individuals of the children. This session is easy on little ones, too, as it gives them some time to play and doesn't stretch their attention spans too long. We'll work with you to determine a location that fits the vibe you're interested in for your session.
+ 20-30 minutes
+ 20 images included
+ Option to purchase additional images or full gallery
+ Online gallery with unlimited downloads of selected images
+ Up to 6 family members included (more may be added for an additional fee)
Express SESSION
NEW! This is the ultimate fast photoshoot. This is perfect for the family wanting just a few photos or who have some family members who aren't as excited about getting their photos taken and prefer a very short session ;) It might be surprising that it can take only 10 minutes, but after years of doing these ultra-fast sessions with our own child, it's a skill we've honed well.
You will receive a gallery to choose from, and three images are included. Additional may be purchased.
+ 10 minutes
+ 3 images included (more available for purchase)
+ Location of our choosing
+ Online proofing gallery
+ Up to 6 family members included (more may be added for an additional fee)
MINI SESSIOn
Seasonally, we offer mini sessions that will be 15 or 20 minutes. We host a mini-session event each fall and sometimes during other times of the year. These are a great way to receive a variety of images in a shorter time frame. We'll post available time slots, with the last slots available around sunset time. This is one of our best value offerings, which is made possible by conducting these back-to-back as part of an event.
+ 20 minutes
+ 10 images included (more available for purchase)
+ Online proofing gallery
+ Location of our choosing
+ Up to 6 family members included (more may be added for an additional fee)

Extended family SESSION
We love extended families! You can choose either the Half Session or the Full Session to capture your extended family together. The most popular option is the Half Session with purchase of the full gallery. Nick and I both come from larger families, and it's important to us to keep these packages accessible for families no matter the size.
+ Choice of Half Session or Full Session (see details in sections above)
+ Online proofing gallery
+ Online gallery for two weeks with unlimited downloads of selections during that time
+ Up to 6 family members included and $10 per person for each additional person
COMMON QUESTIONS
How will we receive our photos?
We will send you a link to an online gallery on our website. The gallery will contain all of the high-resolution images included with your session. You can download the entire gallery, as well as share the gallery with friends and family. Galleries will be available for 2 weeks after your shoot, so be sure to download all of your images before then!
When will we receive our photos?
For family sessions, expect to receive your images about 2 weeks after the photoshoot.
For weddings, expect to receive your images 4-6 weeks after your wedding day.
Where are you based and do you travel?
We are based in Lawrence, Kansas, but offer services in Topeka and Kansas City, as well! So if you are located in any of these areas, we can help you!
We also have roots in Nebraska, so often offer pop-up sessions in Lincoln and Hastings, NE.
Wanting us to travel somewhere else?We love to travel and are absolutely open to traveling for your session! A travel fee may apply.
For weddings, we have traveled to numerous other states — from Florida to Michigan to South Carolina — for destination weddings.
What should we wear for our session?
We know this can be the toughest part about booking a session!
Our two main tips are to:
1) WEAR SOMETHING YOU FEEL GOOD IN.
If you feel self-conscious in whatever you are wearing, it can affect your shoot. So, wear what you feel great in!
2) WEAR SOMETHING YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE IN.
This especially applies to dressing your kids. If someone hates what they are wearing because it's uncomfortable, it can cause challenges on the day of the shoot. Comfortable kids are happier kids!
That said, finding outfits that coordinate colors but aren't all the exact same are a great recipe for success. All neutrals are a great option, too. There are always some great inspirational boards on Pinterest, as well.
