In-home Real Life Family Session with the Pentheros Family | Buffalo Documentary Family Photographer

It was such an honor photographing the Pentheros family in their home this fall. They started their morning in pjs making pumpkin pancakes together, sharing breakfast at the table, putting together a space puzzle, and reading stories before naptime. It was a wonderful morning and I am so excited they now have these special moments captured in photographs to cherish for a lifetime!

If you are a parent of young children, you know how fast the days and years go by, and how quickly your children grow in and out of phases. One minute they’re completely dependent on you for their every need, and in a blink it seems, they’re off on their own playing with friends, barely making time for a smile and hug goodbye.

This is one of the reasons why I love the in-home, documentary-style Real Life family sessions I offer. Totally different than your stand-and-smile-at-the-camera style session, Real Life sessions are designed to spend time with you and your family in your home, documenting those most cherished moments with you and your loved ones in this phase of your life. Next year might be totally different than this year, but you’ll always think back with nostalgic memories of some of those special times together. So why not have some of those moments captured on camera, so you can have tangible memories to look back on?

Real Life family sessions include approx 90 minutes (max of 2 hours) of in-home coverage and the final, edited images provided to you in an online gallery with a digital download of the high resolution photos. New in fall of 2018, I also started offering an special extra: if you book a Real Life Family Session (valued at $600+tax) and refer a friend who books their own session with me, YOU will also receive a complimentary 10-page, 8x8 lay-flat album with highlight photos from your session. How great is that?!

And for a limited time, I’ve decided to take this extra one step further: If you and a friend reserve winter/spring 2019 dates for separate in-home Real Life family sessions by December 31, 2018, you will BOTH receive complimentary albums with your session. Your sessions must be scheduled for a date between January 1 and May 1, 2019, and both sessions must be completed in order to receive the albums. Simply email me to inquire about dates, mention the friend who is also planning to book a session, and provide a $150 non-refundable retainer (per family) to hold your date. The remaining balance isn’t due until the time of your session and as long as both families schedule/book and complete their sessions, you will both receive complimentary albums. I’ll even design and choose images for you if you don’t have the time to. And then you’ll be sure to have an album of these special moments before another year passes by!

As your waiting on your friend to get back to you about booking their own session, check out this great session with the Pentheros family for ideas!
