posed and candid portraits for todays family

Family Sessions

Regardless of the season that you're in, and whether your babies are big, small or furry, this time in your life deserves to be captured by something other than your iPhone. Wether you are a brand new family or this isn't your first rodeo, I would love to have you in the JBP Family!

I love creating photos to remind families that in spite of the fact that the floor of the car is covered in goldfish, their laundry room looks like an episode of hoarders and mom and dad are in a permanent state of exhaustion, their love and their story are beautiful.

So let's plan a day, pick a location that is meaningful to you and create a slew of images that will fill up the frames your walls for years to come. Invest in preserving all stages of your family by booking a family session at least once a year. Albums are the best way to archive your images and enjoy them from day to day.

A session for every type of family

NEXT QUESTION

No one wants to look like a soggy, wet mess in their photos so if it looks like it's going to rain, snow, hail or some other weather catastrophe, we'll be in touch via email or phone to reschedule. Often, when we're scheduling our initial portrait session date, if it works for our calendars, we'll actually set up both a main date and a rain date just to make sure we don't have to postpone your session for very long if the weather is bad on the original date. 

what do we do if it rains?

NEXT QUESTION

The sooner the better! My weekends tend to fill up pretty quickly - especially during the spring and fall, so the sooner you reach out to me, the more likely you are to get your desired date!  

To reserve your date, you will need to submit a contract as well as a deposit. And if something comes up and you need to change your date, just let me know! 

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK?
