family . Maternity . seniors
Dear mama,
I see you. Whether you are staying at home with your little ones or hustling hard at work, your priority is your family. You want only the best for them. And you so badly want the time to slow down. They are getting so big right before your eyes. I get it.
I see you reaching for your phone as soon as a sweet moment arises in hopes to catch t before it is gone. Tell me this - when is the last time YOU were in the photos with them?
Whether you are new to family photos or you are a seasoned veteran with updating them annually, I am so glad that you have landed on my page. Because like you, I am a mama & NOTHING means more to me than my family & documenting them as they grow (and boy do they grow fast).
My mission as your family photographer is to provide images for you to cherish for a lifetime. Not posey posey images. I am talking REAL life images. I want so much more for you than "one good photo". I am here to tell your story. If this speaks to your soul, let's get to planning!
Love,
Summer

Session Investment
Outdoor sessions take place during the beautiful, golden hour that occurs before sunset. Indoor sessions can take place at any time during daylight hours. Sessions are $325. Additional add-ons are available.
Listen, I get it. Photography can be quite the investment and I am going to be real here with you for a moment - it should be! Think about it, and I mean really think about it. These are your MOMENTS with your kids we are talking about!
Memories and milestones that will be over in the blink of an eye (time is a filthy thief) and there is no better way to preserve these precious days than photographs. Put the phone down and get in the photos with them.
*Loyalty client program (50% off your 5th session with Summer Rain Photography)! This is great for those who want it all (maternity photos, birth photos, newborn family photos, monthly milestone photos, one year (smash cake) photos, the list goes on. . . )
Luxury Package

Your session includes individual photos of each child as well as photos of all kids together and photos of just the parents (where the love began). Headshots of mom and dad will also be taken if requested (great for professional work photos).
PERSONALIZED HEIRLOOM PHOTO ALBUM
Once your gallery is complete, I will mail you a beautifully crafted & personalized heirloom photo album & a USB drive that includes all of your photos. Imagine how often you will look at your photos if they are sitting in a fine-art album on your coffee table for you, your family & your friends to gawk at.

The extended family add-on is for those who want photos with additional family members who are not within their immediate family.
FAQ
- Outfit coordination is one of my favorite parts! Full family outfit styling is a part of the experience.
- Yes, you can bring your dog! They are part of the family!
- If your child gets a scratch or a bruise the day before our session, it is okay. I will edit out the blemishes.
- Immediately family only. There's an additional charge for extended family.
- Worried your children will act out & you wont get any photos? Stop worrying now. This is the most common fear for many parents and I am here to put you at ease. Not all sessions are a cake walk and that is okay. Kids are unpredictable and I am fully aware of this. As a mother, I take pride in the connection and relationship I am able to build with little ones so quickly. No fear should get in the way of your precious keepsakes. I include a detailed guide with tips and tricks for ways to prepare your children before your session.
