Portland Family Photography
“Love is the glue that holds a family together”
-Bangambiki Habyarimana
I love photographing families. I enjoy capturing the connections, personality, love, and interesting moments that happens within a family. My sessions involve a mix of candid and posed images. We’ll play and wander around for up to two hours–depending on kids’ needs of course.
When you decide you are ready for a session, email me through the contact form. I’ll email you back and then we’ll chat on the phone. I’ll ask you about your family, your ideas for your session (location, occasion, etc), your plans for your photos (do you want to add to your wall gallery, or create an album?), and we’ll tentatively schedule a day if we can. I’ll send you a quote with a retainer, contract + model release and then it will be official!
PRICING
Session Fee of $250 includes:
Up to 2 hours shooting time of one nuclear family of up to six people (additional fee for multiple-generation/extended family sessions)
One complimentary digital image OR 8×10 mounted print
I offer collections which include wall art, gift prints, and digital images, as well as a la carte items. Collection prices start at $649. You’ll select your collection during the ordering session, about two weeks after the photo session.
Recent Family Photography Sessions
Portland Toddler Photography: Adalynn
Meet Adalynn! She's one and a half, and she loves to explore. Recently we did a short session at Westmoreland Park, where her parents and I roamed around after her as she wandered the park. Our session focused just on her, since they had done a family session for her...
Portland Lifestyle Newborn Photography: Avery
Look at the sweet snuggly baby! This at-home newborn session was so special--it was the second time I had the privilege of photographing this family. We did a fall session when there were still only three family members--remember the adorable and energetic Nora? Well,...
Portland Documentary Family Photography
"Mo' moon?" 19-month-old Lucinda is in a serious moon phase. She loves looking at the moon, drawing and coloring the moon, and reading picture books about the moon. She's at her little table with her coloring gear, and her moms Paula and Andrea dutifully draw several...
Portland Infant Photography: Robbie’s 6 month photos
I dare you not to reach through the screen and pinch little Robbie's cheeks! Goodness, isn't he just the cutest? I met Beth and Jon at Wallace Park in Northwest Portland for Robbie's six-month photo session. Their two dogs joined us for a few shots at the...

Continuing from Part 1, here are more fun ways to enjoy the beautiful images from your photo session! First up, wall art! My top package includes credit for wall art. This can go toward one of the collections or it could cover one single product (like a 18"x24" canvas...
Print Products, Part 1
When I see you for the ordering session, I'll bring an assortment of samples with me, so that you can see and touch the different products. My packages include many of these items, and some are add-ons. I'm going to break this into two posts so it doesn't get...
Tanner Springs Portland Family Photography
Check out this dapper little man! Isn't he just too, too cute in that outfit and fedora?? His name is Tre and he's not quite two years old. (Doesn't he look like a little Abercrombie model in this shot? He's all, "Oh hey, I didn't see you there, I'm just over here...
Art ala Carte: Messy Madness Photography
I had the chance to photograph several Messy Madness sessions last year. (I've selected just a few of my favorites here!) They are so much fun. So here's the gist of how Messy Madness goes: you have a bunch of adorable babies, get them down to just diapers, and let...
St Helens Family Photography | Traveling Julie Photography

Hotel Monaco Family Photography | Traveling Julie Photography
Since the weather was iffy, we decided to try a new (for me) indoor location. Becca, Cort, and Esther met downtown at the Hotel Monaco. They have this great, colorful lobby that's open to the public. I loved the rich, bold colors and patterns! (Do you see the purple...
Portland Multi-Generation Photography: The Z Family
This was a different kind of session for me and interesting on its own merits. This family was getting together for the holidays, including some people from out of state, and wanted to get nice photos of everyone together--there are FOUR generations!...
Eastbank Esplanade Family Photography: Kolleen and Dave
Another excellent family photo session! Kolleen and Dave are such friendly, warm people, and their sons are a lot of fun too. As always, I had a fantastic time hanging out and capturing great moments with them. We met on the Eastside Esplanade of Portland's waterfront...

Hoyt Arboretum Family Photography: Erin & Bryan| Traveling Julie Photography

Forest Park Family Photography: Courtney | Traveling Julie Photography
Courtney and Dustin's family of six moved to Portland last fall, from New Mexico! What a huge change that must have been. They love family photos and have been getting them done for years, but understandably didn't get them done last year, having just moved and with a...

Chelsea is a member of Baby Bootcamp of Sherwood & Tualatin, which our amazing friend Jessica runs. They held a silent auction earlier this year to support Doernbecher Children's Hospital, and I donated a mini session. Chelsea was the mini session winner! I love...
Northwest Portland Family Photography: Lindsay’s Family | Traveling Julie Photography
Lindsay and Danny have a very cute toddler, Xavier. Lindsay told me that while she takes lots of great photos of her son, she is not usually in them. More than that, she especially wanted some great photos of all three of them together. I totally know how that goes! I...
Tanner Springs Family Photography | Traveling Julie Photography
What a fun photo session this was! First, we were in a new-to-me location: Tanner Springs Park, right in downtown Portland. It's only one square block, but it's a lot of park! There's that gorgeous curvy rusty metal wall (made of old railroad tracks) and concrete pier...

Portland Family Photography: One-Year-Old Twins!
