Jen van der Vecht Photography

Details:

Thank you so much for your interest in my work!  It is an honour that you have chosen me to photograph your family.  :)

Offering a generously discounted Outdoor Family Photo Shoot with a free custom print is my way to introduce myself & my work to new clients.  It also allows for your family to enjoy the "photo shoot experience" with very little commitment.  

I have been photographing professionally for 20+ years, having photographed over 2000+ families and literally 1000's of children.  Prior to becoming a photographer, I worked as a Model Scout for the top NYC modelling agencies (Elite, Wilhelmina's, etc..).  It was during this time that I developed my passion and eye for portrait photography. 

At your Family Portrait shoot, I will be photographing your family in various compositions... individual portraits of each child, the children as a group and the family as a whole.  My aim is to create a beautiful collection of portraits for your family.  My shooting style is very casual and fun.  While shooting, I will be encouraging your family to be silly and goof around.  I believe that the best portraits are those that capture a family laughing together and having a great time! Some portraits will be more quietly posed, some more fun & candid.. but I can confidently guarantee that all will be beautiful.

Following your shoot, you will be able to view your 40 - 50 beautifully edited proofs within a password protected online proof gallery**.  This gallery also functions as a shopping cart.  From this gallery, you will place your order.  Your print will be shipped to you via courier***.

In addition to the free print provided with your shoot, you will be given the opportunity to purchase additional images in digital file (jpeg).  I offer artistically edited, high resolution digital files within Collections (packages).  Collections start at $295..  While any additional purchase is not required, it is always welcomed.

Looking forward to meeting & photographing your family!
