The New Family Portrait

Edgy | Textured | Album Cover Vibes

Family

As a music photographer, I take time before each session to really get to know each artist. It is no different when working with families.

It’s an experience.

  • We start with a conversation. We get to know each other. I send you a mini form/questionnaire to learn about you and your style or we simply chat by phone. I find out what you are like with each other, what you like to do, your style, and get into your world a bit. We then pick a date and set up the best session that suits you and your budget.

  • Next we decide on a location. It could be your own home. It could be a studio. It could be a stylized location that gives the feel of a Rock Album Cover!

  • Until shoot day, we chat back and forth about wardrobe, style, come up with just the right look to tell your story. We may text or email pics back and forth. We may decide to add in a wardrobe stylist, hair and makeup - depending on what feels best and most natural for your family. We may also have everything set on that first phone call and then just touch base right before your day.

  • Shoot Day! We meet for our session! This day is usually filled with laughter, creativity, and fun. I live for the shoot days. My goal is to create a fun and relaxing environment, so that it feels more like we are hanging out and chatting.

  • In 2 weeks, I send you your gallery and a mini video to demo the Shootproof gallery. We can also meet again by zoom or in person to go over the images together. I find it helps to meet together to look at proofs, because we are able to bounce ideas back and forth. If you are looking for wall art, I can create mock-ups to demo how the images will actually look in your home. We can go through frame options, displays, and digital work.

  • Finally: You receive your gift of images! It may include mostly high-res digital images for your use everywhere, and it may include Fine Art Framed artwork for your home.

Sessions begin at $850 ($725 for weekday sessions before 4p)

“My family had a wonderful time working with Alexis for our photo shoot. She made us feel very comfortable and relaxed as well as made the experience fun for our kids. The pictures came out great and she sent the images to us very quickly which was a huge perk. She captured the most stunning candid moments and edited some of our favorite pictures to make them perfect.”

“Alexis took really beautiful photos! She was great with my two small children, who were a handful. She was well prepared with toys and snacks with the kids. She listened to my ideas and offered her own. She knew the right time to get the best light. She was quick with the turnaround time and got the pics back to us quickly! They turned out gorgeous!”
