The Kelley Family | Urban Family Portraits | bFresno/b, CA – bFresno/b b.../b
Heading downtown for another urban family portrait session. This time around it’s the Kelley family. I shot Aubrey and Aaron’s wedding a few years ago, somewhat early in my career. It’s cool, because all those earlier clients of mine are turning around having babies right and left! As a bonus I just heard that there’s another one on the way! So, congrats to the Kelley’s, and I’m looking forward to meeting the next little one…
How much does a session cost?Portrait sessions are offered in three flavors. The most basic session offered is a mini session at one of my Portrait Events. These events take place several times a year and offer a mini-session (about 20 minutes) for $50. Your second option is the Standard Family Session that lasts about an hour. There is no session fee for the Standard Sessions, there is only a minimum purchase of $750 required. The third and final option, and my personal favorite, is the Slice of Life Session. This session lasts about 4 hours and I tag along with your family on a morning or afternoon of adventure and fun. These are the most real images you will see of your family. Ever. This session costs $750 and includes a custom designed album of images from the day.
Which session should I choose?That depends on your goal for the session. If you’re simply refreshing the portraits you had taken recently, looking for a holiday card, or wanting just a small selection of prints, then a Portrait Event Mini-Session is perfect. They’re offered at least two times a year in the fall and in the spring.
If you have the extended family in town, want to use multiple locations, or just generally get more variety, then the Standard Family Session is a great choice. These sessions last about an hour which gives us plenty of time to create a nice collection of varied images.
Now if you want something truly unique, then the Slice of Life Session is the way to go – especially if you have younger children. We plan a few hours of activities for you and your family to enjoy while I hang out with you and photograph all the mad fun, the meltdowns, the messy snacks, and the unbelievable experience of being a part of your family. The possibilities are endless for this session. In the end, this session is distilled into a custom designed album documenting the day. This is the kind of heirloom that will be priceless in future years.
