A fresh Approach to Family Photography

If you ache for authentic photos of you + your people,
at-home family sessions are for you.

How it works. Photo sessions will take place in and around your home, in your favorite places and spaces. We’ll start in your home, but your backyard and your porch and the park around the corner you go to every day are not off-limits.

 

If you’re visiting Utah from out of town or you wanna shoot outdoors, or another spot and you just want love-soaked images full of giggles and funny faces and the beautiful mess of connection, party, poetry, struggle + love that is your everyday life, well, that’s at the top of my list. Confession: it doesn’t actually matter where we go. YOU matter.

All of the images have failed to load.

This is most likely a TimThumb permissions error.

Go to the Justified Image Grid settings, TimThumb & CDN tab. Click check permissions then click 0755 or 0777 to see if that works (or do it manually via FTP, on the files and folders it lists there in case chmod fails). You can disable TimThumb with the 'Use TimThumb' setting and the option 'No'.

Also read the troubleshooting guide in the documentation on what else to do, especially if you are using Hostgator!

If you are using a Better WP Security plug-in go to the Better WP Security settings, System Tweaks, Filter Suspicious Query Strings: Disable

Tip: Install the official WP plugin 'Jetpack' by Automattic and enable 'Photon'. Jetpack enables you to connect your blog to a WordPress.com account to use the powerful features normally only available to WordPress.com users. It's an excellent TimThumb alternative and will make your images load faster. Note that you won't be able to use special effects due to cross-domain security limitations. Read more at: jetpack.me

AT-HOME FAMILY SESSIONS ARE FOR YOU IF:

There are at least two of you and you have a home. I don’t care if you have zero kids or seven, you are a family.
You yearn for more photos of you with your kids, for someone to see and document all the love you shower them with every day.
You dream of candid, raw, gorgeous moments to hang on your walls and remind you why you keep opening your heart and doing the gut-ripping soul-bursting work of being a mother, a father, a member of your family.

I’LL BE HONEST. THESE SESSIONS AREN’T FOR:

– People who want traditional, posed, everyone-smiling-looking photos. We’ll get a few of those, but they are not the focus of our time together

– Large extended families, unless grandma and grandpa have a home in California and want everyone to come hang out for the session. (In which case, coolest Gma and Gpa award!)

– Those who are worried about what others think of them. These sessions are up close and personal, and some of your people might not get it. Your in laws might want your girls dressed in matching outfits by that great waterfall. If matchy and posed is what you’re after, this session is not for you. We’re going for the whole story of your family.

Kind Words that make me blush

“Brooke, the gifts you’ve given me through your photography truly are priceless. Your photos allowed me to see myself the way my husband + daughter see me. You’ve bottled up the moments I love most and allowed me to keep them forever. Your ability to capture real moments with beauty + ease is pure magic.”
Alisha
I just can’t find words to tell you how amazing the images are. You captured everything I love about my family. The goofy, the serious, the heart, the soul. All these photos tell our story perfectly and I can’t stop looking them. Thank you for this incredible, priceless, perfect gift.
Amy
“I could die! I’m never in photos with my kids, and then Brooke waltzed in and captured these gems. More precious than gold.”
Jessica
The pictures are everything I was hoping for with a little somethin' somethin' extra that only you could make happen! I didn't just want to have a keepsake of our faces, I wanted to preserve the nuances that are specifically us--the relationships that are each unique and dynamic--and you certainly brought that to the table. Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving us this experience.
