ABOUT IN STUDIO PORTRAITS

A few select times a year, we offer custom sessions in a studio in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia. Tween, seniors, kids, baby and family portraits are created to be simple & clean and yet still as unique as you are. This space is perfect for the cold winter or hot summer when you just want timeless and relaxed updated portraits.

What To Expect

Planning an in-studio session with me is only offered in limited quantity during the year. In-studio portraits are for everyone! No matter your age, you deserve only the best quality of portraits that will capture your personality, and leave your friends and family speechless! Bring your best attitude on the day of the session, because we will use your time to bring out your best features, and let you shine!

FAQ's

Are All Your Shots Candid?

While most of my shots are more candid during even a portrait session, I will grab a posed shot or two of the whole family together, but even then, I will try to get a more relaxed portrait.  If I feel like it is needed or possible with your children, I give directions and guide everyone to the best light and more attractive backgrounds during a portrait session, and then, I let things happen as naturally as possible.  But, overall, we just play. Every shot is candid and unscripted. If at the end of our shoot, I feel like we didn’t get a single shot with everyone in your family in the frame, I may suggest everyone pile on the couch for a story.  Otherwise, nothing is posed for this style of shoot.

I have no idea of what to do with these images.  Can you help?

Absolutely!  I offer custom wall gallery designs and custom signature albums for local clients.  I offer to come to each of my client’s homes to look over your space and show you digitally what we can do with your walls.  If you aren’t a wall art kind of client, I custom design beautiful heirloom albums to archive your family’s memories. Let’s talk!

Do you offer digital copies of your images?

Yes.  I offer digital images with every wall art piece, custom album, and print set.  Digital copies are not sold individually or without printed products. You will be investing in a premium service, you deserve a premium product to showcase that investment.  I wholeheartedly believe it is a disservice to clients to just shoot a session and hand over a USB drive.

"THANK YOU!"

Main Line family photographer

PERFECTION

We have been working with Rae for over 9 years now, photographing our family 8 times. She has a way of finding the joy and laughter in our young kids through her lens that we don't want to forget. Being a mom of four herself, Rae recognizes the importance of capturing these sweet times. She is a perfectionist in every sense of the word. We have never been disappointed with our end products. We are confident that Rae offers the highest quality products that are available. There is nothing in our home more valuable to us than the photographs on our walls. Thank you, Rae!

"LOVE THESE!"

Main Line family photographer

TOP NOTCH

What an amazing photographer! Rae took pictures of our 6 month old in our home and we absolutely love the results. She was so great with our baby and you could tell she really loves kids. She has a laid back style that makes you feel really comfortable around the camera. All of her products are top notch as well, the only hard part is deciding what you want (which she helps you with anyway so it's not hard, more exciting.. :) ) We can't recommend Rae enough, you won't regret it!

"AMAZING!"

Philadelphia Children Photographer

AUTHENTIC

Rae is amazing. I have had several sessions with her and without fail each time, she manages to capture these beautiful photos of my crazy kiddos that are perfectly and authentically them. [My kids] have so much fun that they forget that they are having their photos taken. She's incredibly talented but also really down-to-earth and easy to work with. I also recently purchased an album with her as well and it came out beautifully. Her sessions and photos are well worth the investment.
