How to proceed

1

Fill out contact form with your details

First off, if you’ve never had a family film session before, I want you to know that it’s going to be a MUCH easier and a lot more fun than you probably expect! I will be in touch with you within two business days via email. You will receive a price list via email too.

2

Let's schedule a call

We will schedule a brief phone call. During this call, I will look at possible dates + book your session on my calendar. You'll pay the booking fee and I’ll send you a contract for digital signature and my Client Guide which has all sorts of tips for attire and what to expect.

3

Let’s make a plan

We’ll set up a Zoom call before our meet-up to make sure we’re clear on what you want from whichever session we’re doing together. I have found that the more we can get acquainted before the day of your session the better the end product!

Enjoy the session

This is the most fun and memorable part of the whole process, when we actually get to create together. Depending on your session type, we’ll meet on your scheduled day at your chosen location. You’ll be your natural selves, and I'll capture all the moments in a beautiful way. You won’t fret over messes, wrinkles, an uncooperative baby, or siblings because you’ll be lost in the moment of it all. I promise you’ll have so much fun!

What happens on the day of the session?

 

All the information you need will be provided for you in a CLIENT GUIDE that I will send you as soon as we book our phone consult.

During our Zoom call, we'll create a loose plan based around the answers to your questionnaire and also we'll decide on the location. Sessions generally go for about 2-3 hours depending on which session you choose.

A typical session will start off by spending time together just hanging out. This gives your kids a chance to get used to me and let off a little bit of energy in the process. And then once we've gotten acquainted, I'll grab my camera and start filming.

We'll talk more about how this will look based on the plans we decide on during the call. The only thing I ask, is that you do not look at the camera unless I ask you to, and do not ask your children to look at or smile for the camera. That's it!

My work reveals…

That every day is something to be celebrated.

That the ordinary is extraordinary.

Spending time together as a family makes us closer and much more open to one another.

Every family has a unique journey, love language, and favorite way to connect.

FAQ

 
REACH OUT TO ME IF YOU HAVE MORE QUESTIONS OR WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE PROCESS. I'M OPEN TO HOP ON A CALL.
 
  • I only shoot 8 film sessions a year so it’s best to book as soon as you can as they book out pretty quickly, usually 6 months in advance. Booking early also means you can pay off your sessions in instalments and work it into your family’s budget.

  • Jump over to my contact page by CLICKING HERE and pop your details in the inquiry form.

  • You can pay for your session in installments (usually monthly, over a period of 4 to 6 months) or alternatively, you can pay a 20% booking fee, with the rest of the fee due 2 weeks before your session.

  • Yes! I love to travel. I usually pick a couple of areas outside of Philadelphia each year to visit and I always build in time for travel sessions.

  • Given the ongoing global pandemic, if I feel even a little unwell we’ll reschedule your session. If you or your kids are feeling unwell we’ll do the same. There is no penalty for rescheduling.

    For outdoor sessions dependant on weather, we’ll make the call on the day if it looks like it’s going to rain. Alternatively we can move the session indoors to your home or an Air BNB if we have enough notice.

    Travel sessions: I only do film sessions when I travel and these will go ahead in your home (or an Air BNB) rain, hail or shine.

  • I want to make this experience as easy & relaxed as possible for you. Once you’ve paid your booking fee (which confirms your session and secures your date) I’ll send you my Client Prep Guide which has everything you need to know about preparing for your session (it’s not as scary as it sounds, I promise!) We’ll set up a time to talk more in person (either on the phone or via zoom) so you can be as prepared as possible!

  • 
I have spent years developing my craft as a storyteller, and thousands of dollars on equipment to be able to shoot and edit video. I spend anywhere from 15-20hrs (sometimes even longer) to create a film, and it’s not something I can sit down and work on in small blocks of time. Video requires a great deal of time spent editing to get things just right, far more time than it takes for photos and an even greater amount of creative energy. It might seem expensive, and for sure it’s a huge investment that not every family can afford, but I guarantee you it's worth it and the value of that film will increase with every year that goes by after you've had it made.

  • Choosing the right song for your film is almost an art in and of itself. I only use licensed music, so commercial songs you hear on the radio won’t be an option anyway since it would be illegal for me to use them. If you have a genre preference I’m open to hearing more about that, but generally I recommend leaving the song choice with me. I’m pretty good at it, I promise.

  • Do we have any other options?
Absolutely. I get it. The thought of doing a film at home can be stressful for some people. If it helps at all, know that the house does not have to be sparkly and clean for your film. Lived in is MORE than ok. But maybe you just want to make your film in a place that’s not your home. For this, I would recommend booking an AirBnb, and plan a little family getaway and I’ll come for part of your stay to do your film.. I do recommend though having an indoor option for the film so that we can shoot in any weather.
