I'll tell you exactly what to wear, where to go, and what to expect, so there's no guessing and no back and forth. We'll get the posed shot grandma wants and then we'll relax into the candid, crinkly-nose-smile moments that actually feel like your family.
here's what Changes when you book with me
By the time everyone has fresh haircuts, matching-enough outfits and clean faces, you're already exhausted and the session hasn't even started.
Your husband didn't exactly volunteer for this. Your toddler has opinions about the outfit you picked out.
And somewhere in the back of your mind is the fear that you're going to spend money and still end up with a gallery full of stiff, forced smiles.
getting everyone ready is already the hard part

Big family photos can go wrong fast, too many people, too many opinions, not enough patience. I bring 15 years of experience wrangling exactly this kind of session, so you end up with a photo the whole family will fight over who gets the framed copy.
This is for you if you want grandparents, siblings and cousins in the frame too.

SEE FAMILY SESSION DETAILS
You'll walk away with a gallery that actually looks like your family this year, not last year, not some future version of you. Christmas cards, a new canvas on the living room wall, and a set of photos your kids will look back on someday and feel something.
This is for you if it's just your immediate crew.
You, your partner & your kids.
Family Sessions
"Katie has photographed our family for almost 15 years, and we truly can't imagine anyone else capturing these special moments for us. Our boys love her, she takes the stress out of family photos, and somehow always manages to capture our family perfectly."
- MANDY
"Between suckers, Smarties, and plenty of jokes, she had no problem getting my boys to loosen up and give her some real smiles. The editing was beautiful while still feeling like us, not too overdone or too much filter."
- Liz
"We've been going to Katie at Spellman Photography for over five years, and she continues to exceed our expectations every time. She has beautifully captured our family through so many seasons of life, and the photos are always stunning."
