BOSTON FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
THE PROCESS
let’s get to know each other
Family sessions shouldn’t feel stiff or stressful—this is a time to laugh, connect, and celebrate the love you share. That’s why I take the time to truly get to know you before the session—your family dynamic, your vision, and the little details that will make your portraits feel authentic and meaningful.
We’ll meet virtually at least twice before your session, so by the time you arrive at the studio (or our chosen location), you’ll feel completely at ease—knowing exactly what to expect and confident that I’ll guide you through every step.
Once you inquire, I’ll send over a link to schedule our virtual meet & greet. This is the perfect opportunity for us to connect, go over all the details, and answer any questions you might have. Think of it as the beginning of something beautiful—because that’s exactly what we’ll create together.
The Next Steps
After our meet & greet, I’ll send you a booking proposal via email. If you feel we’re the perfect fit (and I hope you do!), you can move forward with securing your session.
Your booking proposal will include everything you need to officially reserve your spot:
✔ A scheduler to select your session date & time
✔ A contract to review and sign
✔ A payment prompt for your $600 deposit
Once completed, your session will be officially on my calendar, and we’ll start planning every beautiful detail together!
Preparing for you family session
Before your session, we’ll carefully plan every detail to ensure a seamless, stress-free experience. You’ll receive a Family Session Prep Guide filled with helpful resources, including:
✔ Wardrobe Styling & Client Closet Access – A curated selection of timeless outfits for moms, dads, and little ones, plus styling guidance to ensure a cohesive look
✔ Pinterest Inspiration Boards – A collection of beautifully styled ideas to help define your aesthetic
✔ Pre-Session Questionnaire – So I can tailor the session to your family dynamic and vision
✔ A Link to Schedule Your Virtual Styling Consultation – Because every detail matters
During our virtual styling consultation, we’ll refine your session’s look, from color palettes and textures to location choices, backdrops, and styling details. Whether you prefer a posed fine art session, natural lifestyle portraits, or a combination of both, we’ll create a session that feels authentic, relaxed, and uniquely yours.
This is also the perfect time to ask any final questions, so when the day arrives, you can simply enjoy being together while I capture your family’s love, connection, and joy.
the day of your session
When you arrive at the studio, everything will be calm, welcoming, and beautifully prepared for your session. The space will be thoroughly cleaned and thoughtfully styled, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable experience for the whole family. Your selected wardrobe pieces will be waiting in the dressing room, and our setup will be designed to complement your family’s unique style and connection.
We’ll move through the session at a natural, comfortable pace, capturing both posed and candid moments of love, laughter, and togetherness. Whether we’re documenting snuggles between parents and little ones, playful sibling interactions, or timeless portraits, my priority is making sure you feel at ease, confident, and completely taken care of.
Family sessions typically last between 90 minutes to 2 hours, allowing plenty of time for outfit changes, breaks, and natural interactions. There’s no pressure—just a relaxed, enjoyable experience where you get to be fully present with your loved ones while I capture the beauty of your family’s story.
All you need to do is arrive, enjoy, and cherish the moment—I’ll take care of the rest.
Viewing & Ordering Your portraits
Within two weeks of your session, your online gallery will be ready for viewing. Your fully retouched portraits will be beautifully curated into a slideshow—so you can sit back, relax, and experience your images in the most stunning way.

Testimonials
We reached out to Ana on a whim as we were planning to do a family reunion photoshoot. We really had no experience nor sense of guidance with professional portrait/fine art photography…yet she was so kind, gentle, helpful, and put us at ease throughout directing and redirecting us along the way. Everything came out to be a wonderful, masterpiece of an artwork.
