Two-Hour Family Session

A balanced family photography experience with space to slow down.
(Most Popular)

Designed for families who want more time to connect, move naturally, and create a richer, more varied final collection - without feeling rushed.

This is the most chosen option, offering a relaxed pace and the flexibility to let moments unfold organically.

When the Two-Hour Family Session is the right fit

The Two-Hour Family Session is ideal when you want depth and variety while keeping the experience calm and enjoyable for everyone.

This option works especially well when:

  • You want more natural interaction and storytelling

  • You’d like a wider range of moments and compositions

  • You value a relaxed pace with time to settle in

  • You want a fuller, more expressive final gallery

  • Your family enjoys movement, exploration, or gentle transitions

Time & location

A relaxed session - up to two hours

With additional time, the session unfolds more naturally. There’s room to slow down, follow your family’s rhythm, and allow genuine moments to emerge without pressure.

One primary location, with nearby secondary spots if time allows

We begin in one thoughtfully chosen location and may gently transition to nearby areas if it supports the flow of the session. This creates visual variety while keeping the experience cohesive and unhurried.

What’s included

  • Two-hour guided family session with calm, intentional direction

  • Thoughtful preparation and attention to detail

  • A curated selection of approximately 20–25 fully retouched images

  • Refined online gallery for viewing, sharing, and personal use

Every delivered image is carefully selected and professionally retouched to a consistent, finished standard - no unfinished or lightly edited photographs.

What to expect

Before the session

We align on mood, location, and intention. I’ll guide you through simple preparation so you feel confident and relaxed going in.

During the session

Natural guidance, gentle direction, and a comfortable pace - allowing your family to interact freely without feeling posed or rushed.

After the session

You receive a curated collection of final images, professionally retouched and delivered in a refined online gallery.

Not sure where to start?

If you’re deciding between the One-Hour and Two-Hour Family Session, I’m happy to help you choose based on what matters most to your family.

Guidance is always part of the process.
