Family

The middle chapters.

Two pairs of tiny yellow rain boots with plush bunnies sit in a doorway as a family with two young children walks toward them in the softly blurred background.

Your babies are no longer babies.

Your story continues forward.

Seasons shift.
Kids grow.
Life gets busy.

But in the middle of it all is your real life. The chaos, the laughter, the connection that you don’t want to forget.

These years are just as important as the early ones to remember.

From year to year their likes and dislikes change. Their personalities are shaped by their experiences and their growth.

And trust me, you’ll want to remember every version of your family.

Every chapter matters.

  2. Complete your booking by choosing your session package, reviewing and signing your contract, filling out a brief questionnaire, and paying your deposit. Session packages are explained further down this page.

  3. Session planning is easy and stress-free. Your session prep guide includes styling guidance, preparation tips, and a simple timeline to help you feel ready for your session.

  4. On Session Day, plan on 30-45 minutes to complete your session. If you’d like an outfit change, plan for closer to an hour.

  5. Your gallery will include all the best images from your session. I don't limit the number of photographs I deliver, and your edited gallery will be ready within three weeks.

“Nothing but good things to say about our experience! Jess was patient and knew how to work with our daughter to get great pics, she was very friendly and personable, and had excellent communication through the whole process. We would not hesitate to use Jess Palmer Photography in the future!”
