My family can be described in many ways, but the adjective that is most often used when describing my family is...BIG! As I've mentioned before, my husband and I have a "his, hers, and mine" blended family that is sprinkled with a couple additional kids. The grand total for kids that we have in our family is NINE! Yes, you read that right....we have NINE kids between us.
People ask me all the time if we are going to have any more children. The answer is not as simple as a yes or no. I can tell you that I will personally not give birth to any more children :) But there is always the possibility of fostering children with the hopes of adopting them one day.
Our family minus one :)
While I love my big family, one thing about big families is a huge pet peeve of mine and that is that everywhere you go, people have their hand out for additional "fees." After my husband and I married in June of 2011, we wanted to have family portraits taken. We checked with a few photographers and they had very reasonable prices - until I mentioned the number of children we had. At that time we only had six children and they were wanting to charge us for every child beyond two. So...that meant we were going to pay FOUR additional "people fees!" Suddenly their prices no longer seemed to be reasonable. Luckily we have had some great friends that dabbled in photography and they were more than willing to take our family portraits without charging us extra for being a large family.
This is the very reason that our pricing structure is the way it is. It allows for a family, large or small, to pay one set session fee. This even applies to extended family. I have several sessions each year which consist of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, etc. and they just pay one session fee. Each family can then order the portraits they want directly from the gallery. It is very affordable for all families and we have a great time making memories in front of the camera.
If you are interested in a large family portrait session, give us a call or drop us a line and we would love to talk to you!
