FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

You laugh. You play. You fall down. You cry. Everyone watches silently to see what you’ll do… Then you dust yourself off and everyone shares another laugh.

Family life isn’t easy, but it is rewarding. I know how much work it is to bring your whole crew together for a new family portrait. That’s why I make my sessions as fun and rewarding as humanly possible.

WHAT’S NEXT

I bet you’re wondering how the whole process works, aren’t you? Well, my process is a little bit different than other photographers you may have worked with in the past. Learn more here.

Book Your Consult

Step 1: Your Consultation
As you now know, the first step is to book our consultation. This is the time when we sit down together, make sure we like each other and that I’m the right fit for your family. As you can imagine, it’s important that you like me… otherwise, our time together might feel awkward. So this is where we’ll start.

Step 2: Planning Your Session
So many parents admit to me that they are nervous their kids will misbehave. And it’s not uncommon. I’ve witnessed many temper tantrums! But with the proper planning, I can help you prepare your kids to behave, and yourself to calmly work through a tantrum. I’ll also help you pick the best location for your family, plan your wardrobe, and start dreaming up how you’ll show off your photos in your home.

Step 3: Your Session
I’ll arrive 15 to 30 minutes early to get set up for your session. I recommend you arrive a bit early as well! The timing of your session is not an accident. I’ll plan for the right time of day for the absolute best lighting. So giving yourself a little extra time to arrive, introduce the kiddos, and let them get used to me.

Step 4: Photo Premier
We’ll schedule your photo premier about a week or two after your session. At your premier, we’ll sit down in my studio or office and you’ll see your photos for the first time! We’ll choose your favourites, discuss how you’d like them edited, and pick how you’d like to have your photos printed, finished, and displayed.

Step 5: Show Off
When your photos arrive, I’ll help you hang them! And if I do say so myself, they’ll look fabulous! Then it’s your turn to show off to your family and friends.

Step 6: Share
After your photo premier, I’ll upload a gallery of your photos. You can download all of your digital photographs from your gallery and share them on social media! And you can send that gallery to your family and friends so that they can order photos for their homes as well.

Say Cheeeeeeese!

I’m a little bit different than other photographers that you’ll speak with. In short, I’ll give you the advice I give all parents who are worried about their kids behaving: Just tell them you’re all going to hang out with a friend! Because that is what you should consider me.

I am your friend! I want you to feel comfortable in front of the camera. I want you to feel calm when the tears come (because they will), and I want to help you through every step in this super exciting and creative photography journey.

Book your consultation, and let’s get started!

If you couldn't tell from her branding Sophia is such a people person. I think that's why her work is so great, because she's fun and brings out a lot of natural joy and laughter out of her subjects. As a marketing professional, I have recommended her to many of my clients for personal branding photos and all of them have been extremely happy with the process and results. Sophia also photographed my family including all 3 generations. She was a lot of fun to work with but also incredibly organized and professional when it came to reviewing the proofs and ordering prints. I will continue to recommend Sophia to anyone looking for great photography because I know they will not be disappointed.

Beyond thrilled with the whole experience. Sophia was amazing to work with from start to finish. It was a lot of fun while taking the photo's and her ability to add and enhance to the fun made it that much better. The finished product was way beyond what I expected. The quality of the pictures and picture quality was amazing!!! The only difficult part is keeping how many prints to minimum, i feel I should give everyone I know prints as everyone who has seen the pictures are just as thrilled as I was. Thank you Sophia. I can't wait for the next session!!

We had a great time working with Sophia for some winter family photos! She was always available to answer questions, fun and easy-going to work with during the actual photo shoot, and has been very helpful in the follow-up choosing which photos to print. Would definitely recommend for whatever occasion you're looking at hiring a photographer for!
