An in-home session doesn’t always mean staying indoors. For this family, we spent 95% of their shoot playing in and behind their backyard.

There were trees to climb, piggyback rides to be had and creeks to explore (including finding a tiny, tiny frog).

Favorite stuffed animals (with matching puppy dog eyes) are always welcome.

And I might ask you to practice your balance beam skills while your portrait is being taken.

This family had lots of giggles, snuggles and smiles as we enjoyed being outside.

I hope you’ve enjoyed these sneak peeks from their family photo session. To see all the (password protected) images, visit their gallery HERE.


1. How do you know Stephanie Friedman Photography?

I’m lucky enough to know Stephanie Friedman from Gullett Elementary. She took amazing photos of the kid’s during Field Day last Spring and that led me to her professional site. I love how Stephanie is able to capture the spirit and personality of the people she’s photographed so much. Knowing she was a neighbor and fellow Gullett Mom only helped making the decision to use her for our family photos easier.

2. What was your favorite part of your photo session?

I’m very self conscious, but Stephanie is so easy to be around and genuinely fun that I never felt self conscious. It just felt like my family was hanging out with a friend who happened to be taking pictures at the same time.

3. What advice would you give to other families planning a photo session?

Stephanie really guides you through the process. I’ve never had profession photos taken of the family and didn’t know what to expect and she made everything so incredibly easy. My advise is don’t over think it because Stephanie has taken care of that for you. Just enjoy yourself.

4. Anything else you’d like to add?

I’m going to have a very hard time waiting 2 weeks for my prints, but I KNOW they are going to be worth the wait. I am so excited!
