Family Session Info
“her photos are nothing short of amazing!” -libby
Hi, I’m Kellie
Hello and welcome! My name is Kellie Llewellyn. Photographer, wife, mother, adventurer & storyteller.
I’m a firm believer that travel is always a good idea. You may find me frequenting VRBO and hunting for rental houses, or reading reviews at Trip Advisor on top things to do for my next travel adventure. Oh, and I’m a self proclaimed connoisseur fountain pop-specifically Diet Coke & Diet Mountain Drew. Need I continue?
I’m a sucker for natural light, and creating real, authentic moments rather than posed, forced photos. I love telling stories through my work. My approach combines documentary and fine art into a beautiful, organic hybrid that is honest and raw. Some posed imagery, but mainley unposed- I go for the real thing.
XOXO,
Kellie
my style
The favorite part of my job is that I get to work with families to capture their honest, authentic, messy, beautiful love for one another! Yes, we’ll set some shots up and tweak things to make you look amazing, but my number one goal is that you walk away with real and genuine photos that truly capture this season in your family life. The beautiful part of my job is that families are constantly growing and changing, and I get to capture those incredible moments in time for you to hold on to – Because they go by so fast!
During the session we’ll do a little bit of everything – Unlike stuffy studio portraits where you’re pulling your hair out trying to get your kids to sit still or smile on cue, my portraits are organic and natural – We’ll get you interacting and having a blast! In my opinion, that’s the best way to have a photoshoot!

LOCATION
Our area offers some of the best scenary around. If you’re looking for amazing spots nearby, let me knw and I’ll be happy to give you some ideas! Think of places that speak to your personalities best, and are accessible for everyone involved.
TIMING
Evening light is the golden hour when photos of people are at their best. I try to schedule all sessions an hour before sunset (taking into account your kids nap & meal times)
WHAT TO BRING
Water, snacks, whatever you need to keep everyone happy! For the girls, make up for touch ups. Four legged friends are more than welcome.
PREPARATION
To avoid last minute stress, make sure to pick out all family outfits & props well in advance. I always tell the moms to pick their outfit out first and build the rest of the families clothes around it.
IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS
Your clothing selection & choice of location will make the biggest difference in the final feel and look of your photos! Feel free to message me with photos of your ideas / questions about what will look best for photos.
5 WARDROBE TIPS
1. Don’t match, coordinate. Pick a color combination for your family to work within. We don’t want everyone to match perfectly or wear nothing but a single color, but we also don’t want everyone wearing different colors and patterns.
2. Don’t be too seasonal. While the idea of outfits for the season may be appealing, our aim is to produce photos that you can display in your home year round! Unless you live on the north pole, Christmas only really works once a year.
3. Avoid patterns, go for earthtones, textures, and solid colors. These are the most classic & timeless and will guarantee your outfits are still in style years from now – Rather than a trend! Its also best to aim for layers in your clothing to provide visual interest and movement (especially for the girls! Dresses or a flowy shawl etc.)
4. Fitted = best. While flowy articles of clothing for the girls is fantastic, in general with pants + shirts for the boys, aim for fitted clothing for men. Avoid baggy jeans or loose fitting shirts etc.
5. We want your session to be enjoyable and fun for everyone involved. If your kid’s clothing is uncomfortable for them to wear, it won’t be nearly as fun. If you’re planning outfits outside of what they are used to, I’d suggest “breaking them in” a few days in advance to get them used to the feeling of wearing those clothes.

FAQ
WHAT IS YOUR SHOOTING STYLE FOR FAMILY PHOTOS?
I am a lifestyle photographer, and my style is geared towards capturing real moments! This means getting interacting rather than posing, and having a fun time together – because that’s where the magic happens!
WHAT IF MY KIDS WON’T ENGAGE?
That’s okay! Many children are shy or have a hard time with posing for photos – Which is why we forget the posing and just get you all hanging out and loving on each other! You just enjoy the moment and I’ll worry about the photos.
CAN I CANCEL / RESCHEDULE MY SESSION?
After booking, session fees ($200) are non refundable, as I am holding the date for you and turning away other clients.
ARE SESSIONS INDOORS OR OUTDOORS?
All session locations are chosen by collaboration with you, to bring your unique vision to life. Indoors or outdoors – we’ll make it happen!
WHEN SHOULD I BOOK?
Booking well in advance is recommended! My current wait times for session openings are around 2-4 weeks, but cancellations do happen once in a while!
HOW LONG IS THE TYPICAL PHOTOSHOOT?
Depending on your session type & the number of locations the time can be anywhere from 45-90 minutes.
WHEN IS MY PAYMENT DUE?
Your session fee ($200) is due before the date can be reserved. The remainder of your balance is to be paid after you see your gallery & choose your collection.
WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?
I accept payment via credit card, cash or check. Contact me for payment details + to book your session!
WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS?
No need to worry! If your shoot date gets rained out, we can either select an alternate location or reschedule on a date that fits you. Or we always can splash around in the rain!
