This resource helps you plan every detail of your session. There are tips about what to wear, what kind of props to bring, and how to manage your kiddos during your session.
Family session Guide
You’re supported before, during, and after your family session. From inspiration sharing to styling advice to the final canvas on the wall or art album on your coffee table. We will help bring your vision to life.
Styling & Art Curation
Every image delivered is in color and B&W, why choose when you don't have to.
Black & White Portraits Included
Your complete gallery is delivered within 5 business days of our Photo Reveal Zoom call.
Fast Turnaround
During our Photo Reveal Zoom call, we'll go through your gallery together. We'll choose favorites, talk through retouching, and make sure that you walk away with a gallery that’s actually yours. You will have the flexibility to build a more focused collection or go all in on a large one. This means every dollar you spend goes toward images you've chosen and love.
Most families typically spend between $1,200 and $5,000 to bring their full story home.

What It’s Like to Work Together
"Bethany is such a talented photographer and a joy to work with from start to finish. Our photos capture all the energy, silliness, and love of our family in a real, beautiful way. The whole process, from our first call to picking our final images, was full of care. Nice family photos are a big investment, and I feel great about our decision."
Julie Boor
"Bethany's photos have a sincere and warm feel. It never feels forced or contrived, instead it captures the best moment where we look like ourselves, at our best! As our wedding, brand, & family photographer she has impacted our lives so much."
Celeste reingans
"We’ve worked with Bethany for almost a decade! She was our wedding photographer and now captures our growing family. We hire her every year and even multiple times a year. She’s built a genuine connection with us over the years. I’ll always choose Bethany to capture our family’s milestones, and we print everything she creates for us."
Angela King
"Bethany and Clara created an unforgettable Valentine's shoot for us! Bethany handled everything from mood board to studio booking, and Clara worked beautifully with my 3-year-old. The photos were so amazing, we ended up printing most of them. Safe to say we've found our go-to photography team!"
Daniella Carelli
"Bethany's photography is stunning. She came to our home and immediately eased that "photo day tension" with photos of our girls in their rooms showing off their favorite things. She set the tone for a relaxed and fun session made the rest of our time with her so easy. We're so pleased with the outcome and the photos that capture this special moment in time."

Do you travel?
They might. That's genuinely fine, and it's part of why the Signature Collection is two hours instead of one. We build in snack breaks and downtime, and some of our favorite frames come when we let the kids be kids.
