Email cole@craftcreekphotography.com, or call or text 850.544.3336, with your preferred dates and location. A $50 deposit holds your date, and it is deducted from your total. The balance is due after you choose the photos you want edited.

Travel is free within 10 miles of our studio at 3110 Shamrock Street North in Tallahassee. Beyond 10 miles, travel is $2.50 per mile round-trip, and we quote any travel fee upfront.

How long until we get our family photos back?

Your edited family photos arrive within 7 business days after you pick the photos you want edited.

Can we bring a baby to our family session?

Yes. Babies are welcome in family sessions.

What should we wear for family photos?

Choose two or three colors that work together rather than matching outfits. Solids and simple textures keep the focus on faces. Skip neon, large logos and busy graphics. Think about the room where the portraits will hang, and wear shoes that work for grass or garden paths. We can help you plan outfits when you book.

What is the best time of year and time of day for family photos in Tallahassee?

We recommend soft early-morning light or the hour before sunset for most outdoor sessions. Late winter through spring is peak, when camellias and azaleas bloom and Maclay Gardens peaks in late February. Fall brings softer light and cooler evenings. Summer works best in the shade or in the hour before sunset. Rose Hill stays shaded and comfortable on warmer days, and Dorothy B. Oven Park is a favorite for sunset portraits. The best time also depends on the location you choose, and on when your children are usually at their best. We help you pick a plan that fits your family.

Do you photograph holiday family photos in Tallahassee?

Yes. Many families book a session to update their yearly holiday photos, or simply to have everyone together. The Forever Family session is 60 minutes at your home or an outdoor location. Call or text 850.544.3336, or email cole@craftcreekphotography.com, to choose a date.
