Family Pre-Session Questionnaire

Before you begin, it’s important for you to know that my goal with our time together is to use your life’s special moments to tell your story. Please answer the following questions with thought, honesty, and without judgment in what your response will look like in photos. I know that life is busy and your time is at a premium, so I appreciate your thoughtful answers--answers that will help me create an authentic experience for you and your loved ones.

Why are you looking to have a photo session? What takeaway from our experience together is most important to you?*

Do you already have an idea of what memorable experience you would like me to photograph? If so, please describe below in detail and include why this is meaningful to you have documented.*

Let's Dive In

Even if you know what you want to document, please continue and respond to all of the questions. If you need help discovering a memorable experience to use for your session, I am here to help. Helping clients plan their session is something I love to do. Clients that allow me to drive the session, with inspiration from you, end up yielding the most incredible results from our session.

Please describe your average day as a family. Be as detailed and descriptive as possible. Paint me a picture. For example, do you wake up and have coffee? Does one person usually make the coffee? What does a whole day in your world look like?

On a Saturday with no plans, what is your family most likely going to do? What would it look like in your home? Are you home-bodies or would you head out? *

Please list your most favorite or a few favorite places you like to go together. Again, be descriptive. I’d love to know why these places are ranked as a favorite. Don’t forget to ask the kids their thoughts on this!*

What are some key events in your family’s journey that has led to where you are today?

May I post your session photos on my Facebook page, website/blog, or other social media sites for my portfolio and marketing purposes?*

YesNo

How do you plan on showing off all of your beautiful photos? i.e. a photobook or album, large prints, gift prints, etc.

Question for Parents

Please describe a little about your relationship. It’s important for me to seek to create an image that represents who you are as a couple during our session. For example, you could describe little things you love about one another, things you may do when the kids are around (like steal a kiss as you are walking by one another), or enjoy some quiet time and conversation on your patio once the kids are asleep.*

Questions for the kids

What do you love to do with your family?

What do you love to do with your brother/sister(s)?

What are your favorite things about your parents?

Are there any other comments, questions, or things I should know about our session or details you want me to include?
