The Bethany Michaela Experience

Family Sessions

From the glow of expecting mothers to the first coo of a newborn to the joyful chaos of family life. I'm committed to capturing your moments without the constraints of a ticking clock.

Whether it’s pausing for tender moments to comfort your little ones or snack breaks for the spirited older children, I embrace it all. Your session is about capturing your family's essence, unhurried and fully present. I will be there to help you every step of the way. We will talk through the best time, locations, and outfits, and I can even create a mood board so we have a visual idea of the direction we want to go in.

Day in the Life

For families who value the candid moments and want a relaxed atmosphere and timeline for their family session with multiple locations. Most families start the session around breakfast time and then I photograph you in your every day life, playing, getting ready for the day, and then we venture to your favorite park, coffee shop, or wherever you have fun together.

The first 30 minutes your kiddo is warming up to me and my huge camera, the next 30 minutes we find our groove, the final 30 minutes are pure magic. A lot of people think that kids have short attention spans for photos but it's quite the opposite, if they aren't forced or rushed they end up not wanting me to leave by the end of it!

These weekday-only sessions are perfect for families who schedule photos twice annually or for those with children who are comfortable in front of the camera. If it's been a while since you've done family photos, I recommend booking a full session so your kiddo and you can ease into being photographed.

"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."
