Family Session Pricing Guide
Hi! I’m going to be honest with you.
You’re not booking this session just for today.
You’re booking it for the version of you sitting at a kitchen table twenty years from now, helping your grown child figure out how to raise their own wild toddler. That version of you will reach for an album, flip through the pages, and say:
“You used to do that same thing with your mouth. You always made us laugh. Look here.”
Photographs are how we hold onto what slips away.
You may have a toddler who won’t stop running, a 12-year-old who insists on wearing only one hoodie, or a teenager who says they hate pictures.
Still come
Because even if they won’t smile on cue, even if they roll their eyes—this is still the chapter you’ll want to remember.
Years from now, when their bedroom is empty and the house feels too quiet, these photos will whisper:
“This was real. This was good. This was us.”
That’s why I do what I do.
If you’re ready to press pause and remember what life feels like right now, I’d be honored to photograph your family. You can explore the session options below and pick the one that fits you best.
Whether you want just the essentials or an heirloom album to pass down for generations, you’ll find a package that fits your needs. Take a look at the options below, and choose the one that feels right for this season of your life.
THE EXPERIENCE
Family sessions are calm, unhurried, and guided with care.
Most sessions last 1–2 hours, whether in your home, at a favorite outdoor location, or a space that holds meaning for your family.
The session is designed around your family’s natural rhythm. There’s no forcing smiles or staged chaos – just connection, attention, and presence.
After your session, you’ll receive a curated gallery of your best images. From there, you select the photographs and artwork you love – the pieces that will live in your home and be treasured for generations.

Frequently Asked Questions
My kids are wild and I’m nervous to book a family session. What do you recommend?
Even if your children won’t sit still, smile on cue, or cooperate, this session is still worth it. Life as it is right now – the running, the laughing, the small frustrations – is exactly what makes your story meaningful. I guide your session with calm and presence to capture connection, not perfection.
How long is a typical family session?
I don’t place strict time limits on sessions. Every family moves at a different rhythm, and I photograph until we’ve created a meaningful gallery. Sometimes that takes twenty minutes, other times closer to an hour – let’s take time, have fun, and even read a few books together if needed.
When will my gallery be delivered?
Your edited gallery will be delivered approximately 2-4 weeks after your session, depending on the season.
Can grandparents or extended family be included?
Absolutely. Anyone you want in your images is welcome. Additional family members are $50 per extra member (towards the session fee), since it involves more directions and intentional time to capture everyone beautifully.
Do you provide guidance with outfits?
Yes. I offer guidance on colors, textures, and styles that photograph beautifully together. Outfits don’t need to be perfect – just comfortable and reflective of your family.
What if someone won’t smile or cooperate?
It’s okay. Some of the most meaningful images come from the candid moments in between. The tiny interactions, laughter, and real-life expressions are exactly what make these images memorable.
Can I purchase additional images outside of my package?
Yes. Additional images can be added for $50 each.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. You can split your session or collection into up to four installments. Contact me to arrange a plan that works for your family.
PAYMENT OPTIONS
Professional photography is an investment, and I understand families may prefer flexibility. Payment plans of up to four installments are available. Simply email [email protected] and we will arrange what works best.

Hi, my name is Pola!
There is nothing more beautiful than family life unfolding – the laughter, the chaos, the love, and the everyday moments that slip away too quickly.
Being invited to photograph your family is an honor I never take lightly. I approach every session with reverence, patience, and deep respect for the relationships you’ve built together.
I will notice the small details – a hand on a shoulder, a sibling hug, the quiet glance between parents – and preserve them thoughtfully so they are never lost to time.
These photographs are not just images. They are a record of love, connection, and life as it really is. I would be honored to create them for your family.
