What to Expect from Austin’s Best Family Photographer
If your child is under two years old she suggests two Austin family portraits per year because there are significant changes at that age. Otherwise, one portrait per year is most common. She recommends one or two outfits per family portrait shoot and suggests a different setting each time when possible. At times there may be fees associated with a photography location but if you need suggestions, Melissa can help you find popular free spots for local family photographers to use as well.
The session typically lasts about an hour or 30 minute sessions for kiddos with a shorter attention span. As one of the Austin’s best family photographers, Melissa has found the best pictures don’t have props in them as it can often look dated. Ideally, outfits will color coordinate but ultimately it’s the family’s decision. Similar to all of her work as a local Austin photographer she doesn’t let her personal preferences interfere with the shoot and instead lets her client’s personality, the light and color of the day inspire the shoot for the best family portraits.
There are numerous families she’s worked with for years as a testament to her talents as one of the best family photographers in Austin. We encourage you to take a look at her photo gallery and contact her for pricing and details.
