SUMMER OUTDOOR SESSIONS

Beautiful Summer portraits without the stress.

Summer has a different rhythm. Longer days. Barefoot kids. The kind of evenings that feel like they could last forever. If youโ€™ve been meaning to capture your family in this season, this is your effortless way to do it. Summer doesnโ€™t last forever and neither does this stage of your familyโ€™s story.

  • Warm, golden evening light

  • Short, relaxed sessions that work with real life

  • A guided, organized process from booking to ordering

  • Images that feel natural and never stiff or rushed

You show up. We take care of the rest.

Why Families Love Summer Sessions:

1. Choose Your Location + Date
We photograph at beautiful outdoor spots throughout Montclair and surrounding towns.

2. Reserve Your Session
Your session fee secures your date and includes your portrait experience.

3. Enjoy The Experience
Simply show up.

We guide you with relaxed direction and natural prompts that work beautifully with children. Our locations are thoughtfully chosen for beautiful light, easy parking, and space to move โ€” so your session feels effortless from start to finish.

Youโ€™ll leave knowing we captured the moments you hoped for โ€” and excited to preserve them beautifully.

How It Works:

Your session fee secures your date and includes:

  • A relaxed outdoor portrait session

  • Immediate family included (add-on time for extended family)

  • Thoughtfully selected locations

  • Gentle direction and guidance

  • A curated proof gallery of your images

After viewing your gallery, youโ€™ll select and purchase the images you love. Images and artwork are purchased separately from the session fee, giving you flexibility and choice.

Our team guides you every step of the way so the process feels simple and transparent.
