Are you a member of the Professional Photographers of America (PPA)?

You want to ensure your family photographer is a professional and is a part of an industry organization. PPA photographers will work to ensure you receive the best artistry and ensure your family's unique personality is photographed.

What's included in the session or retainer fee?

What are you getting for the money is one of the most important questions to ask your photographer. How much time will your photographer work with you and your family? Will you receive digital images with the retainer fee or other products.

Is your family photographer online?

Professional family photographers will have their own websites and do not rely soley on social media platforms. Photographers want to present their best work; and their website is the first place to look.

How long have you been in business?

There are so many photographers, you want to ensure you have a professional and not a hobbyist. The long the person has been in business the less likelihood you will hire a hobbyist.

Los Angeles & Northern Virginia/Woodbridge (DMV) Family Photography

I'm a Los Angeles family photographer located in Torrance, CA (Los Angeles County). In addition to photographing families in Los Angeles, I also accept commissioned work from families in Woodbridge, VA (Prince William County), Northern Virginia, and Washington DC (DMV). Whether you're the Mom to a family of 10, an expectant mother, or a couple wanting to hire a professional photographer, I know how to get the pictures you desire.

Your family's portraits will be a memorable experience you and your children will love and have a great time. Family pictures are a time to let loose and make memories with the people you love most. Parents, yes - even you Mom; should be involved in the portrait session and are sometimes asked to join in on the goofiness because what child can resist laughing at their parent's goofiness! Don't miss out on preserving a chapter of your family's story with an album of all your favorite images. Contact me to determine availability or pricing.

I look forward to creating beautiful family portraits for you and your family!
