Child & Family Photo Sessions

Child and Family Portraits are photographed on location anywhere.   This may be in your home, outside of your home, or a local park.  Due to overcrowding of photographers at public locations, some parks are requiring permits. Please discuss your ideas so we can prepare accordingly.  Jodie has some amazing locations that she works in regularly and will be happy to share these with you.  While studio and lifestyle images may be photographed indoors (especially with very young ones or in colder weather for milestones or sitter sessions), outdoors is where you will find your child excited, happy, natural, and relaxed for beautiful images.

Locations that are within normal travel range (no travel fee) are Baltimore, Harford, Cecil, Howard, Anne Arundel, Frederick, Carroll, Montgomery Counties and York County, Pennsylvania.  DC and Northern Virginia may require a small travel fee.

Timing of Session

It is recommended to photograph your little ones in the morning after breakfast but before first nap in most situations. The lighting is wonderful early in the morning your child will be fresh and happy.  We will always work around your nap schedules, so flexiblity on this end is a must.  Ultimately, you know your child, and we will defer to times that work best for you.

Family portraits with older children may take place any time of the day depending upon location and availability of light.

(…and of course your family pet is welcome to participate in the shoot!)

• Pricing – A $200 retainer it is required to book your family or child portrait session; this retainer is applied to collections that begin at $500.   Prints and products are available such as fine art prints, custom designed albums, and canvases; please inquire for full price list.
• Scheduling & Rescheduling – If there are any issues with weather or someone is sick, please contact immediately to reschedule.  The schedule is fairly flexible so conflicts on the calendar are minimal.   While last-minute sessions are often taken due to this flexibility, to insure your date, please schedule as soon as you can.
• Price Changes – As soon as you book your time for your family portraits, you will be locked into current pricing.  Pricing can change at any time but if increases are going to occur, they will do so around Spring or Fall.
