Darcy is known for capturing sweet moments, candids, and family connection. Family sessions fill fast; please plan ahead! Please take a moment to check out the artists’ portfolio so you can get an idea of the style of images we create and so you know what to expect in your own gallery: https://hisandhersphotography.com/portfolio/family-portraits/.

- Season is typically May – October; additional sessions added as mild weather permits.
- Please stick to small children’s usual napping, eating and bedtimes.
Investment:
$250 Creative Fee is a non-refundable retainer that reserves your date, and the time and talent of the photographer. Creative Fee does not include any images or products.
*Nuclear / household sessions. Extended Family Sessions do not fall under this scope and will be quoted individually and available case-by-case only in non-peak season.
Wall art, albums, gift prints, framing, and digital collections are all available.
Prints start at $54. Collections begin at $790.
Families can anticipate an average investment of 1800 – 6500.
Because we only accept a limited number of commissions, we have a $700 minimum product commitment. 
Viewing and Ordering:
About 3-4 weeks after your session, we invite you to see your images at your Viewing & Ordering Session. You will see your gallery of beautifully edited images, as well as all the gorgeous products available to you. Your order will be placed at this session, and we will let you know when you can anticipate your products to arrive. Typical turnaround time is about 7-10 business days for prints, longer for specialty items such as albums and frames. *Since 2020, these are held via Zoom.
Style and Wardrobe:
Many consider this the most stressful part. No worries. I’m here to help! Nature-cohesive color plays an important role in the artist’s style. Take a peek at the artists’ portfolio to see how the artist uses color to create images for you. Once you are on the calendar, I will work with you to help you create a look you love for your walls, for gifts, and for family keepsakes.
Available Products:
Getting real, beautiful images of your loved ones on the wall is something that is important in our own home, and I know it’s important to our clients as well. I won’t leave you to DIY with guesswork or uncertainty. I have scoured available vendors and discovered products that we’re proud to show in our home, gift to loved ones, and I believe you’ll love them as well. 
I offer swoon-worthy wall prints, gift prints, albums, canvases, custom frames, and holiday cards. While digital collections are available, I am an artist first and my goal is to provide artwork; I can’t wait to show you all the gorgeous products!
I know sharing online is important to you, which is why I gift web-sharing images of the artwork you purchase as gift prints or wall portraits for you to share on social media. There is no charge for these web-sharing images – it’s just a courtesy I provide so your loved ones can see your favorite portraits. Copyrights of the artwork remain with the artist. Artwork may not be scanned, photographed, screen captured, edited, cropped, manipulated, altered, sold, or used without my written permission. This is my livelihood; I appreciate your integrity.
