For me, family portraits are a chance to not only document your favorite people but also to create memories that you and your family will cherish forever. I like to call these lived-in photoshoots because the images that result from these sessions have a story behind them and emotions infused within them.

My goal with family photography is to capture the genuine moments and emotions that make your family unique — with all of the joy and the messiness that comes with real life.

Love letters

  • “Other photographers will give you a photo shoot with pictures at the end. Gali will give you an experience that is uplifting, confidence-boosting, and memory-making all in the process. (Along with beautiful snapshots to capture these moments). She is truly blessed with the skill and talent to find beauty/happiness and to capture it in the moment. Working with her went above and beyond any other previous work I did with other photographers. She stands out from the crowd and her work speaks for itself.”

    Lindsay J

  • “I love how Gali guides the session, she comes prepared with poses, and all the ideas. I love working with her, she's so fun and has such a warm, friendly vibe!”

    Shelby S

  • “Gali is the best with kids. Especially with a newborn! She has the best patience ever and will wait hours for your newborn to calm down or sleep to get their pictures done.”

Discovery Call

During the initial consultation, we’ll hop on a Zoom call so that we can meet each other and you can tell me about your family!

We’ll go through a series of questions that help me get to know your unique family dynamics as well as the vision for the session.

We’ll also discuss the best package for your needs, whether you're looking for a maternity photoshoot or classic family pictures. All information will also be emailed to you after the call.

Planning

Together we’ll plan an activity for you and your family to do during the session, such as baking cookies, bedtime routines, playing in the sprinklers, going on a hike, or celebrating a birthday.

We will nail down the perfect location and I’ll share a Pinterest board with inspiration for outfits and color schemes that complement your style.

On Site

Before we start the shoot I like to set the tone and voice clear expectations for the whole family. These shoots don’t require or expect perfection. If you have kids, let them be kids. I absolutely adore children and I’m not afraid to get silly with them — it also helps that I have endless patience!

My goal is to document your family exactly as they are, whether through lifestyle family photos or more traditional family portraits. However, I’m always willing to give direction as needed. As your photographer, I will either be a fly on the wall or join in on the fun. My mission is to make you and your family feel comfortable during the whole experience.

These shoots are fun for everyone!

Delivery

At the end of your session, you will receive Polaroids to take home with you. Within 48 hours, I will send you an email with sneak peeks. You will receive a link to the slideshow of your full gallery within 2 - 3 weeks, after which you will be able to purchase a collection of your choice.
