When new clients see ’10 minute session’ I know that there is a lot of doubt about we can actually accomplish. After 6 years working full time as a photographer I have found that different session lengths suit different families but that for families who return to me several times over the course of the year or even once a year that the short time frame works and brings people back because it’s fast, fun, painless, and kids walk away after having a blast (as do a lot of husbands), which means that family photos become an experience to look forward to rather than something to endure.

“I am so thankful for your great skills entertaining my kids and eliciting their REAL smiles! You made my kids feel at ease quickly, and the 10 minute photo shoot was just the right time for my kids’ short attention spans in front of the camera. It’s rare to get all four of us in front of the camera for a family photo–I’ve tried with my tripod with very limited success! It won’t be hard to convince my kids it’s time for family photos next year! Thank you Sara.”
