- Arriving ahead of time to allow yourself time to park, fluff your outfits, and get kids over to the photo site will be imperative. Delays of one family affect all remaining families and may not be able to be accommodated easily.
- If you don't want it in the photos, leave it in your car. This includes purses, wallets, accessories like watches. I can hold your car keys and a phone during the session. Wallets and keys in pockets can be very noticeable in photos. Your photographer is not responsible for removing these distractions during the editing process.
- I recommend ironing your clothes. Wrinkly clothes are difficult to edit away.
- Please note that actual location of family photographs within your chosen park may vary depending on how busy the park is at any given time and to avoid activities occurring in the park and other photographers.
- Weather conditions will vary. While Janae aims to provide photos that will be as consistent as possible to the portfolio, every session will look a little different due to weather and light conditions and based on the family wardrobe selected.
- Janae will provide session details and reminders a few days prior to your session. This will include how to find Janae on the day of your session at the location.

- Perfect for updating your annual framed family photo or Christmas/Hanukkah & Holiday cards.
- These sessions do not just need to be for families with children, they can be for partners looking for a few photos together, for grown children with their adult parents, individuals, or friend groups!
- These sessions will focus on group and individual shots looking at the camera in a single location at the selected park.
- These sessions can feel rushed to some families and don't give a lot of leeway for allowing children to work through upset moods because there are other families who will be waiting to be photographed.
- If you are looking for a wider variety of shots and poses, candid or lifestyle photographs, or photographs at various locations in the park, a full family session will be better for your family.
- If you want to give your family plenty of time to relax in front of the camera without feeling rushed, allowing them to open up and have fun while bringing out your own unique family dynamic and personality, a full family session will more likely interest your family.
Q: WHY BOOK A MINI SESSION?
Whatever time works best for your family, and especially hungry or tired children, will give you your best photos. I schedule sessions within the first 2 hours of sunrise and 2 hours before sunset for the most ideal conditions. However, if you are looking for the dreamiest light, the first session of the morning and last session of the evening tend to be the most flattering light. As always, weather conditions impact light quality and the overall feeling of the photos. No matter what time you choose, we will get uniquely beautiful photos.

Janae is a skilled documentary photographer, and we love the images she captured of our family! Even in a short session time, she was able to get so many great shots that we will cherish forever! Highly recommend!
KASSIDY NORTON
We had the best experience for our fall session. Our daughter was sick unfortunately and yet our pictures still turned out incredible. She is reasonably priced and her editing was beautifully done.
LINDSAY HOLMES
Janae did such an incredible job photographing our family. Not only did she get some great family portraits but she captured the fun we had as a family having our photos taken. Janae has a keen eye for capturing the perfect moments and we love our photos!
