In-Home Lifestyle Portraits

Lifestyle portrait sessions take place within the comfort of your own home and photos may be taken indoors and/or outdoors where you are encouraged to connect with one another in your own natural environment. Tender moments between family members are captured to represent the true essence of your family's personality. Various poses of the family are taken within the time frame and include candid portraits (no camera eye contact), directed positions (with camera eye contact), individual children portraits, sibling portraits, and intimate portraits between parents.

**For indoor photos, rooms with adequate lighting (bright, natural light) will be used only.

**For outdoor photos, schedule your session within a time frame when direct sunlight is not present. Usually this is best during the early mornings or late afternoon/evening.

**This is for the $50 non-refundable deposit only. The $50 will be reduced from the remaining balance. The remaining balance will be based on the package you select and the remaining balance is due two weeks before the session date. **

There are only two packages available:

45 minute session with 10 digital images for up to 4 people only for $450 (within 15 miles of North Hayward). For more than 4 people, a longer session time may be required at an additional charge.

90 minute session with 20 digital images for up to 8 people for $650 (within 15 miles of Hayward, $20 each additional person).

**Limited props are available upon request and do not include backdrops or professional lighting.

Recommended colors for family portraits include shades of pinks, reds, blues, yellows, whites, beige, burgundy, and greens. Keep family members within a color scheme and avoid wearing all matching colors. It looks best when one family wears a different color (for example: most members wear colors among a red color scheme and one person wears a beige or patterned dress). Please avoid wearing clothes with logos.

**Sessions may exceed the time booked at a rate of $100 per 15 minutes. This also includes additional images included in your final package.
