CT Family Photographer | Gabe is One!

I can comfortably say that this little guy below has done wonders for my business. He and his family have been a constant source of encouragement, flattery, and advertisement. I was sad to see Gabriel turn one in September because that meant his Watch Me Grow package was coming to an end. For the last year, I have spent time with Gabe and his parents every three months taking pictures of him during so many important stages of his life. At his nine month session I walked into their home and met with Gabe and his outstretched arms. Pictures couldn't start until he spent some time on my lap gumming a bagel for a little pre-shoot snack. 

While I know that Gabe and I will have plenty of time together as the years go by, I can certainly say I am both proud and sad to see him grow. From a helpless little two week old to a walking, talking, tank of one year old, Gabriel has blessed me in more ways than I think I can say. I have come to value the friendship of his parents. Their constant support of me and their push to see me be great has helped me expand upon a terrific business that I am so proud of.

Donny, Crystal, and Gabe- we love you guys and it has been our pleasure to follow you on this journey. Here is to the end of a year, but the beginning of a lifetime of friends, family, photos, and fun!












Happy First Birthday Gabriel Jackson!

FAQ ABOUT HOLIDAY PHOTO CARD PACKAGES


What is the max number of people we can have for this session?
There is no limit on the amount of people included in a photo session. 
Do we get all of the images on a disc from our session included?
A disc with the images on it IS NOT included in the special. You do have the option of purchasing this disc for $125.00.
What do you mean when you say “edited images to choose from”?
That means we cull all of your photos for the best of the best, then we color correct them, punch and pop them, crop if need be and prepare them for presentation. 
Will you provide props for our shoot, or can we bring them?
The photographer will bring a small assortment of props. If there is anything of significance that you would like in the photos, you must bring it with you.
I don't need Holiday Cards, is there another way to capture my family without the cards?
Yes, of course! Please check out our Fall Mini Sessions. These sessions will be perfect for the family looking to have photos taken without all of the extras.
I have more questions. How should I reach you?
Just email me here and I’ll be happy to answer your questions as quickly as possible.

If you are more interested in our Holiday Promotion, please read about it here.



FAQ ABOUT MINI SESSIONS
What is a Mini Session?
A mini session is a shortened version of our regular family portrait photography session, without all the bells and whistles. Basically it allows us to get a few great family shots of your entire clan and then spend a little time getting breakout shots of just the kids, a few individual shots and perhaps a few candids. It is ideal for families who simply want some updated family shots for their holiday cards, Facebook, or frames. It is not ideal for those seeking lots of great candids or the in-between-the-moment shots.or for those who want outfit changes or a wide range of background looks.  With mini sessions, there simply is not enough time to capture a great deal of emotional images inside of 40-45 minutes – you really need a full hour plus for that. Mini sessions move quickly so it’s imperative you arrive a few minutes early (5-10) so that you and your family are ready to go.
What is the max number of people we can have for a Mini Session?
You can have up to 5 people max. {Sorry, no pets during the mini sessions, but four legged family members are welcome during regular sessions.} If you have 6 or more people, we would love to book you for our regular portrait sessions, which are 1 hour+.
Do we get all of the images on a disc from our session included?
A disc with the images on it IS NOT included in the special. You do have the option of purchasing this disc for $125.00.
What do you mean when you say “edited images to choose from”?
That means we cull all of your photos for the best of the best, then we color correct them, punch and pop them, crop if need be and prepare them for presentation. 
Will you provide props for our shoot, or can we bring them?
For mini sessions we wont be able to provide any props (chairs, frames, balloons, etc.) however you are more then welcome to bring any of these items if you want to incorporate them. I utilize the surroundings of the chosen location to enhance these mini sessions.
We want to do a full hour family session instead of the Mini Session. Are you offering special packages for those? 
Yes, we are! Please let us know what dates you are looking for and we can see if we are available.

Will I receive a product price list? 

You will! Once you book a session, I will forward all of that information to you.

I have more questions. How should I reach you?
Just email me here and I’ll be happy to answer your questions as quickly as possible.
