Let’s make this feel like you.
A little preparation for families, couples, and individuals. Allow about 3–5 minutes. Short answers are welcome, and most questions are optional.

Your session, made simple.
Keep this little guide handy. Whether it’s just you, the two of you, or the whole family, you don’t need to arrive knowing how to pose.
Before we meet
We’ll confirm your time, location, and arrival details. Choose comfortable clothes you can move in. Coordinating colors work well without everyone needing to match. Bring water, layers, and anything meaningful you’d like to include. If children are joining, a small snack, comfort item, and backup outfit can help.
During your session
I’ll offer gentle direction with room for movement, conversation, and natural expressions. We can mix classic portraits with quieter or playful moments. I guide through conversation and demonstration, without physical contact. You can always ask to pause or try something different.
Children don’t need to perform or smile on command. We can change activities or give them a moment to settle in. For couples and individuals, there’s no need to practice poses—just bring yourselves.
A quick session reminder
Seasonal mini: $225 · 30 minutes · 10 edited digital photographs. Selected dates and a set location, with one outfit. Arrive ready so we can make the most of our time.
Full family, couple, or individual portrait session: $375 · 60 minutes · 20 edited digital photographs. A location planned together, more room to settle in, and an outfit change if you’d like one. Branding and other custom sessions follow your agreed proposal.
Weather and last-minute questions
If outdoor conditions look unsuitable, we’ll connect beforehand about the plan. Email ira@iecphoto.com with questions or changes. I typically reply within three business days.
Choosing your photographs
After the shoot, you’ll receive a private proof gallery to choose your included photographs. Proofs are for selection; your chosen images receive the final edits. Finished photographs are typically ready within two weeks of receiving your selections. If a busy period calls for more time, we’ll discuss that before booking.
Come as you are.
You don’t have to arrive as a polished version of yourself or your family. We’ll make space for the connections, expressions, and little moments that feel like you.
