You don’t have to figure this out on your own.
I’ll guide you through a relaxed, natural family photo experience—from planning your session to choosing the photos you love.
This doesn’t have to feel stressful
You don’t need to know what to do. You don’t need to get everything “just right.”
From the moment you book your session, I’ll talk you through each step so you feel prepared—not overwhelmed.
I’ll offer guidance on things like what to wear, where to go, and what to expect, so nothing feels uncertain or rushed.
During your session, I’ll keep things moving with simple prompts so you’re not left wondering what to do (or where to put your hands).
There’s space for your kids to be themselves.
There’s space for your family to settle in.
You can relax a little. Because when that happens, everything starts to feel easier.
How your session unfolds
Most families need a few minutes to settle in—and that’s built into the time we spend together. We’ll begin slowly, giving everyone a chance to get comfortable being in front of the camera.
I’ll guide you through the entire session in a way that feels easy and manageable, so you’re never left guessing.
That might look like:
- Sitting close together and snuggling in.
- Walking, smiling, and letting your kids move.
- A few playful moments (the kind that usually get real smiles).
- Some traditional shots of everyone smiling at the camera.
- Different groupings: everyone together, just the kids, each parent with the kids.
I’ll give you simple direction when you need it, and let it unfold when things are already working.
Nothing is rushed. Nothing is forced.
We’re just creating space for your family to be together. Space that allows us to capture a wider mix of moments—both the ones you expect and the ones that just happen along the way.

“Our family photography experience exceeded my expectations. Theresa was able to get our family to have fun together and make the photos feel natural for the whole family. I was worried my kids wouldn’t cooperate but she had lots of tricks and ideas to get them to participate and have fun. We had a great experience. Theresa’s professionalism and preparedness helped us get ready for the session and actually enjoy our time as a family doing photos together.”

What happens aft er your session
You don’t have to make any decisions right away.
About two weeks after your session, you’ll receive a proofing gallery so you can look through your photos and choose the ones you love the most.
You’ll pick a collection based on how many photos you’d like—whether that’s just a few favorites or all the photos in your gallery.
Once your selections are finalized, I’ll take a final pass through your chosen photos so everything feels consistent with my signature editing style.
A few weeks later, your final gallery will be ready to download and share. You’ll also be able to choose which photos you’d like to print as part of your collection.
There’s no pressure to rush through the process or make decisions on the spot. And I’m always here if you’d like help narrowing things down or deciding what works best for your space.
Simple, flexible pricing
Your session fee covers our time together.
After you’ve seen your photos, you’ll choose a collection based on how many you’d like to keep.
Some families select just a handful of favorites. Others want the full gallery.

Even if it feels a little messy
Things might not go exactly as you pictured. Kids have lots of energy, and sometimes they need a little extra support.
That’s just how it goes with family photos.
If your kids need a break, we take one.
If things feel a little off, we adjust.
If something unexpected happens, we go with it.
Nothing has to be perfect for this to work.
You just have to show up.

A few details you might be wondering about
Do you help with choosing a location?
Yes. I’m happy to recommend a few locations based on what you’re looking for—whether that’s an open space, something more private, or easy to access with kids.
How far do you travel?
Your session includes up to 40 miles of round-trip travel from Erie, Colorado. If you have something farther in mind, just let me know and I’ll help you figure out options.
What’s the best time of day for photos?
Most sessions take place in the evening when the light is softer and more flattering. I’ll guide you on timing based on the season and your family’s schedule.
What happens if the weather doesn’t cooperate?
If the weather isn’t ideal, we can reschedule for a better day or move the session to your home. I’ll keep an eye on the forecast and stay in touch so you don’t have to worry about making that call on your own.
Can extended family join the session?
Absolutely, as long as we plan for it! Just let me know ahead of time so we can plan accordingly and make sure the time and location work well for your group.
