Hello Parents! Your family is the most important thing in your life and having photographs of the people you love is so important. The days and years fly by and before we know it that time where your little kid was just crawling, has two missing front teeth, is starting middle school or even graduating high school is over in the blink of an eye. Don’t let yourself forget all those special moments. Get them documented and be a part of the images personally because these are photos everyone in the family will cherish forever and look back on and smile.

Why Hire a Professional? Experience
Memories
Going to a professional photographer for your family or child’s photographs is not just about getting a “picture” of your daughter, son and family. Going to a photographer is about having heirlooms for your family to have and pass on. It is about getting beautiful artistic one of a kind images of your newborn that you will want to hang out your walls, print and share with everyone you know for years to come. It is about everyone being able to look back and smile.
Getting your family or child’s picture taken is so important. Not only is it a memory of what you all looked like at this moment in time it is about the memories you make. These are memories you and your children will be able to hold on to especially when family members are no longer with you in the future. Whether it’s a child in their first year, your 5 year old, a teenager, a grown family or even an extended generational family now is the right time for your family photographs.
Why Hire Me? It is important to go with your gut and not choose a photographer based solely on pricing because you will regret that decision. I don’t want to tell you to choose me as your photographer no matter what because I won’t be the right choice for all people. I want you to choose Gally Photography because you love the style and quality of my images. Choose me because you want someone who truly cares about giving your family tangible printed images to hold onto forever. Choose Gally only if you feel I am the right photographer for you.
What to Expect... Before Before your session there are a couple of things you get to do to make your family pictures perfect. The first thing is to choose your location. Do you want your pictures to be in a city setting or a country setting? Is there a specific place that you love to go or that you think is beautiful? Once you pick a place you get to choose your outfits! There are more tips to think about before your session and you can flip the page to read them!
During During the session you do not have to worry about much besides smiling and most importantly having fun as a family! I know not everyone likes getting their picture taken and sometimes it can take a little while to warm up to the camera but keep in mind that your session is not meant to be torture and it is important for you to just be natural as a family and show your love. Try not to get aggravated if your kids aren’t cooperating at first. Allyson will guide you on posing and what to do so all you have to do is show up and have fun. If you think of something during your session that you think would look good you can always speak up and tell Allyson so she knows and can work it into your images.
After After the session you can expect a sneak peek of one image on social media which you can share and show off as you await the rest of your images. About two weeks after the session an ordering session will be scheduled. During this ordering session you will be shown the final edited images and samples of products. You will be walked through ordering choices and will place your order that day. So make sure all people who are ordering and involved in decisions are present and ready to order.
Why Hire Me? It is important to go with your gut and not choose a photographer based solely on pricing. Choose me because you want an awesome experience that you will always remember. Choose me because you love all the images you see and cannot wait to have your own images like that. Choose Gally only if you feel I am the right photographer for you.
Pre-Session Tips What feel do you want Do you want the session to be formal or casual? it is important that everyone stick to one or the other. If one person is formal and one is casual it can throw off the feel of the photographs. One important thing is that everyone is comfortable in whatever they are wearing. So if you do not normally dress formal I would say to choose more casual clothing for your images while still looking classy.
Don’t be matchy matchy Try not to put everyone in the same outfit or color. This is a common mistake. Try to coordinate all outfits and somewhat match but don’t wear the exact same solid color. Some good ideas for this are on Pinterest if you search what to wear for a family session.
Consider where images are going What do you plan on doing with the final images? If you plan to place a large family photo in a certain room in your house it is a good idea to look at the color scheme of that room and base your outfit decisions on how they will match with your home decor.
Choose the perfect location There are a lot of different places that you can choose for a location for your session. Do you want it to be in the city or country? Do you want it to be at a place that you and your family like to go to a lot? Would you home make a good location for photographs? The more background options or things at a location the better so you can get different images but almost anyplace you love will work perfectly.
Combined or individual session If you are wanting pictures for just one child for reaching a milestone such as 6 months, 9 months, one year, six years or even preteen/teenage years it is great to book a session specifically focused on them. This will make them feel special and you will get more choices of your child. Some sessions for children can still have a few pictures of the whole family together but sometimes it is best to plan family and children sessions separately especially for younger children. If you have questions about whether you should combine or do separate sessions feel free to ask!
