Now offering Studio Grandparent Sessions to our past and current clients!

Our children’s grandparents are often a large part of their lives. The relationships our children have with their grandparents is uniquely special and a very important part of our families’ stories.

Our Grandparent Studio Sessions focus on capturing the connection and relationships between our children and their grandparents.  

This Winter, I’m thrilled to be offering a limited number of Grandparent Studio Sessions.

By popular request, I am opening the studio this Winter to families who would love to have beautiful photos of their children with their grandparents, and with other special family members. After taking into consideration what my clients have requested, I have created a Grandparent Studio Session for those who would like an experience much like my family sessions, but for their extended family too. Sessions are fun, organized, and designed to cater to all age groups and generations.

As a full-time photographer with 12 years of experience, in addition to being a former therapist, my specialty is helping families to connect with one another in a meaningful way during their session.

What we offer:

  • Casual posing and meaningful interactions between different generations

What we don’t offer:

  • Traditional posed portraits with a focus on hair, clothing, and hand and body placement

Two Studio Grandparent Studio Session Options:

A) Two Generations (for your children and one or two grandparents), $375+ HST

  • Sessions are 20 minutes long and are for your children and one or two grandparents.  
  • Includes 5 edited, retouched, and artistically enhanced digital files of your choice in colour and 3 complimentary gift prints

B) Three Generations (for up to 7 family members)$729+ HST

  • Sessions are 30 minutes long and perfect for photos with grandparents; cousin photographs; or photos with a favourite aunt and uncle 
  • Due to the size of the backdrop, no more than 4 adults can participate.  
  • Includes 8 edited, retouched, and artistically enhanced digital files of your choice in colour and 5 complimentary gift prints.  

Is this the right session for my family?

While my client experience will be the same as it is for all of my other sessions, nonetheless, there are unique challenges when planning for a session beyond your immediate family. Read on for all of the session planning details to confirm these sessions are the right fit for your extended family:

  • Sessions will be available from January to April
  • I will offer sessions at my Navan studio.
  • Sessions are not intended to replace a regular family photography session. The focus of these sessions is solely on extended family members in a variety of groupings.
  • Sessions are a combination of casual posing and candid moments.
  • Grandparent Studio Sessions are only available to previous clients who have had at least two sessions with Sara McConnell Photography.
  • Our Session Coordinator, with the participation of all adult family members, conducts the session planning
  • A great deal of planning and preparation goes into planning for these special sessions.  We reserve the right to cancel the session, at any time, if family members are disrespectful to any member of our team or refuse to participate in the planning process. 
  • Our sessions focus on joyful and connected photos. If you are looking for traditional posed portraits with a focus on hair, clothing and posing, these sessions aren’t the right fit for your family.
