Family Portrait
WELCOME GUIDE
It's so nice to meet you!
I’d love for you to take a look through this guide to find everything you need to know about booking your session, and don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any questions that don’t get answered here! Hover over my picture to learn more about me. I can’t wait to get you in front of my camera!
I’m Ashley, and I simply adore family portrait photography. I am so honored that you are considering booking a session with me! I’m excited to share a little more about what a session with me is like, so you can decide if an Ashley Jones Media portrait session is the perfect fit for your family.
When I’m not behind the camera, you can typically find me spending time with my husband, little girl, and baby boy. As a mama myself, I have truly found that family photos are without a doubt the most meaningful artwork we will ever own.
Every family has a story...
Telling Your Story
Your portrait session will be unlike any other photo session you have experienced. My style is natural and relaxed, and my goal is to completely remove the stress and let your story unfold in front of my camera. I approach photos sessions in a fun way to help bring out each family member’s unique characteristics and to ensure that every photo highlights your family’s unique story.
What to Expect
Family portrait sessions with me are relaxed, laid back and fun! My style is to capture your family as you really are, focusing on the connections between you and the love you share. I love to incorporate play, games, and laughter into all of my photo sessions. Not only does this keep the session light on stress and anxiety, but it creates an environment for the whole family to truly be themselves and have fun. It’s my goal for you to ENJOY your session and the time with your family. I’m just the one fortunate to document it for you!
Scheduling Your Session
When it comes to getting your session booked, earlier is usually better! My calendar tends to fill up quickly, so as soon as you’re ready to book your session, be sure to get in touch with me to reserve your spot. I typically schedule family sessions in the evenings before sunset, for the best and most flattering lighting.
My weekends fill up the fastest, as does the Fall season, but you can jump to the front of the line by booking a mid-week session! Need a peak time? No problem! Just let me know as soon as you can so we can get your spot reserved!
Choosing Your Location
The location of your portrait session is up to you! I have several favorite spots that I am always happy to recommend, and always love to showcase the natural beauty of our area. I love shooting in natural, wide open spaces because the light is gorgeous, especially in the evening. My urban settings are fun too, and add a sophisticated feeling to your session. You really can’t go wrong!
If you have a specific location in mind for your session, I can’t wait to hear about it! Or maybe you have access to a special location that others do not. I always love when clients are able to secure a unique spot for their session! If you’re not sure where you’d like to have your session, no worries. We’ll chat and decide together on the best spot for your family.
