Details:

Offering a complimentary Family* Portrait shoot (sitting fee only) via Groupon is a great way for me to introduce my work to new clients and for you to enjoy the "Family Portrait Photo Shoot" experience with little commitment and no risk.  

My approach to photography is very casual.  I will encourage your family to be silly, goof around and have fun. I believe that the best portraits are those that showcase your family laughing together and having a great time.  

I shoot outdoors, on location, using available light and nature as my "studio".  At your shoot, I will photograph your family in various compositions... individual portraits of each child, the children as a group and the family as a whole. My goal is to create a complete collection of 50+ portraits for your family, not just the one "traditional" family shot.  

Following your shoot, you will be able to view your portraits as proofs** within an online, password protected gallery.  This gallery also functions as a shopping cart from which you will place your order. 

In addition to the custom print included with your Groupon shoot, you will have the option of purchasing your portraits in digital file (high resolution jpegs***).
