On-location, storytelling family photography sessions can take place anywhere around Central Minnesota, including your home – where the heart of your family lies. All you have to do is be yourself, love on your family, let them be who they are, and I will document all the funny, beautiful, crazy moments that transpire throughout our time together. Every session is a custom experience from the start. You can simply go out for ice cream, play at the park, bake cookies, and truly enjoy any "I don't ever want to forget this" kind of moment. Unlike the Traditional Family Session session, these images are journalistic in style and completely candid. If you’re worried you won’t be getting those smiling images you’re used to, I can assure you there will be plenty of smiles, real expressions and emotion in your photos.
Minimum of 50-60 retouched portraits - color and black and white versions of each. On-location at your home or a favorite location of your choice. 1-2 hours of shoot time. Beautiful downloadable online gallery. $100 Print Credit. https://www.vividphotographystudio.com/vivid-portraits
