Before & After
This sweetie did such an amazing job for her session! I love this timeless look! ❤️

From a fantastic session three years ago already! 😊
Wow! How time flies! 🥺

…And this is why many of my family portraits are a combination of several images…😂
This is obviously an extreme example. 😂
My own family is always my biggest challenge. 🙄🤦‍♀️

Wow!!!!🤩
I love seeing my work on my client’s walls!!!😍

Are you looking for a new family portrait?

This is my family. This looks like a relatively simple image to capture with a tripod on family vacation, right?

Wrong. This image is actually a combination of 4 different images.

Many family portraits that I create for my clients are a combination of multiple images.

The final product MUST look seamless. It needs to look like it came out of the camera that way, or else it does not pass my critical eye.

And I don’t feel like it’s cheating. Sometimes family members have their best expressions at different times, I just try my best to blend the best expressions together! 😊
