Our family sessions

Welcome to Our Family Sessions!

Because the little things you're living today become the memories you'll miss tomorrow.

Families change so quickly. Little hands get bigger, personalities grow, and somehow the years seem to move faster than we ever expect. Family portraits give us a chance to hold onto a little piece of this season exactly as it is.

Our family sessions are designed to feel relaxed, connected, and genuinely you.

We'll gently guide you throughout your session with natural posing and simple prompts, while also leaving plenty of room for the moments that happen on their own — the bear hugs, belly laughs, little hands reaching for yours, and those quiet glances that say everything.

There is no pressure for perfection. Kids can be kids. Personalities are welcome. And you don't need to know what to do in front of the camera — that's our job.

We'll take care of the guidance so you can simply be present with the people you love most.

Together, we'll create beautiful, timeless photographs that don't just show what your family looked like...

They'll remind you what this season of your life felt like.

Ready to make some memories? Let's get started!

💛 More Time Means More Variety

Unlike our Classic Family Session, the Full Family Experience gives us the time to create multiple looks and a more extensive collection of images.

We can move between indoor and outdoor spaces, change outfits, create different family groupings, photograph the kids individually, and still have time to let those spontaneous moments unfold naturally.

Your finished gallery is carefully curated and professionally edited, and the full collection we create for you is included.

No choosing favorites. No gallery upgrades.

Just more time together, more variety, and more memories to keep.

Freeze the moment with portraits. Feel the moment with film.

Family Size

Our family session pricing includes up to 4 family members.

Have a bigger crew? We would love to have them! Additional family members are $25 per person, allowing us the extra time, posing, coordination, and editing needed to make sure everyone is beautifully included.

Planning an extended family session or larger group? Reach out and tell us a little about your group size so we can recommend the best session option and make sure we have plenty of time to capture everyone.

✨ Just let us know who will be joining when you book, and we'll take care of the rest!

Our Gallery Delivery 

What to Expect with Your Gallery Delivery

Your memories deserve to be cherished, not limited.

After your session, we carefully go through everything we captured and curate the very best images from our time together. We remove duplicates, blinks, test shots, unflattering expressions, and anything that doesn't meet our professional standards — leaving you with a beautiful collection that tells the story of your family.

✨ Your Full Finished Gallery Is Included

There are no favorites to choose and no gallery upgrades needed.

Every image selected for your finished gallery is professionally edited in the signature style of Chrisom B. Photography, including:

✔️ Color + exposure refinement
✔️ Skin and complexion polishing where needed
✔️ Flyaway + distraction cleanup
✔️ Cropping + composition refinement
✔️ Our signature finishing touches

Your completed gallery is delivered through a private PASS online gallery with no watermarks, along with both high-resolution files for printing and web-resolution files for easy sharing.

Whether we're photographing your family inside our studio, outdoors around the property, or a beautiful combination of both, we create with variety and intention — capturing the classic portraits you'll want on your walls alongside the laughter, connection, personalities, and little in-between moments you'll never want to forget.

We carefully curate what we deliver, but every finished image that makes your gallery is yours to keep.

Because these aren't just photographs.

They're pieces of your family's story.
