Choosing the Right Photography Package: What You Need to Know

I know, choosing a photography package can feel confusing. When you’re already juggling due dates, nap times, and figuring out what’s for dinner, diving into the details of session options and pricing might not be high on your list. But investing in professional photography isn’t just about checking off another to-do. It’s about preserving the most fleeting, love-soaked moments of your family’s life.

As a Portland-based family and newborn photographer, I’m here to help you make that decision with confidence and ease. Let’s talk about what goes into selecting the right photography package for you and why a little planning now means a lot of joy later.

What Are Photography Packages?

Photography packages are thoughtfully designed bundles that include the time we spend together, my expertise behind the camera, and the beautiful artwork you’ll receive after your session. Packages vary depending on the type of session you choose, whether it’s a sleepy newborn in the studio, an outdoor family session at sunset, or capturing that growing baby’s milestone.

Each of my packages offer flexibility and ensures you get timeless, heirloom-quality photographs you’ll want to keep on display..

Why Package Selection Matters

Every family is unique, which is why the “right” photography package isn’t a one-size-fits-all. Some families want a full storytelling experience with printed albums and wall art; others are simply looking to preserve a specific chapter in their child’s growth.

Are you imagining a cozy, quiet newborn session? Or maybe an energetic family session where your kids can run and play while I capture those giggles and group hugs? Your vision helps guide which package will best suit your needs. I always start with a questionnaire to get to know your family and preferences, so we can build a session that feels just right.

Let’s Talk Photography Pricing

I know pricing is an important factor when choosing a photographer. My photography pricing reflects not only the images you’ll receive but also the full-service experience I provide. From the moment you inquire, to helping style your outfits, to hand-editing every image with care, my goal is to make the process as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.

And just like your family memories, this experience is meant to be cherished. I offer custom packages for those who want to tailor their session even more, whether that’s adding additional time, selecting specific artwork, or planning multiple sessions throughout your baby’s first year.

Fill the questionnaire to get the right pricing according to the session you want.

Choosing the Right Session

Still unsure what session is best for you? Here’s a quick breakdown:

• Newborn sessions are ideal for those early, snuggly days. These usually happen in my warm, peaceful Portland studio.

• Family sessions take place outdoors, often around golden hour for that dreamy light, and are full of candid, connected moments.

• Maternity sessions are perfect for capturing the quiet anticipation and joy before your baby arrives.

Not sure which one to book? We can always talk through your options and create a custom experience that fits just right.

Whether you’re expecting your first baby or updating your family portraits, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Choosing the right photography package should feel exciting, not stressful. Together, we’ll create images that you’ll hold close for years and generations to come.
