You’ve been thinking about professional family portraits, but the excuses always creep in…
You don’t know what everyone should wear.
You want to lose weight before getting photographed.
Your kids aren’t going to cooperate.
Your schedules is too complex, especially to include a multi-generation with your parents and their siblings’ families.
Your partner isn’t as excited about the idea.
The idea of planning the whole thing feels overwhelming.
Breathe.
Here’s the truth: You won’t regret taking family portraits.
But you will regret waiting.
THE REAL REASON FAMILIES PUT THIS OFF
It’s not that you don’t value photos.
It’s that the process feels like a lot.
Most families I work with aren’t avoiding photos because they don’t care, it’s because they want to avoid the stress they think comes with family portraits like coordinating outfits, hoping the kids will behave, finding time in your busy schedule, feeling awkward in front of the camera, or not knowing what to do once you receive your final images.
And if we’re being honest, you’ve probably seen professional family photos that look stiff, forced, or overly posed. We know you don’t want that either.
THIS IS WHERE EVERYTHING CHANGES
What if we tell you family portraits don’t have to be stressful? What if you don’t have to plan it all on your own? What if an expert guided you through a process that was easy and dare we say…fun?
That’s exactly why Block Portrait Studios has built a unique family portrait experience here in the Twin Cities.
When you book a family session with us, you’re not just hiring someone to take photos.
You’re getting someone who helps style your entire family so you don’t have to overthink what everyone should wear.
Someone who gets to know your family and your connections so posing and positioning feels natural and authentic, never awkward.
Someone who gets kids, every age and stage. We embrace all the personalities instead of fighting against them. We make the session enjoyable and focus on building each child’s confidence.
Someone who keeps things moving along. We take photos with a goal in mind…which is what you’d like to do with these photos after, and then we will help custom design albums and wall art. We even professionally install finished wall art.
You don’t have to be “good at photos” or have to plan the whole concept.
That’s our job.
YOUR FAMILY PORTRAITS HOLD VALUE
Recently, I photographed a family who almost didn’t make it happen.
Busy schedules, lots of moving pieces. It would have been easy to put off another year.
But they didn’t.
They showed up, trusted the process, and we created something beautiful. Multiple generations together, relaxed, connected, fully present.
Shortly after this session, the family patriarch passed away.
These portraits are now so much more than photos.
They are the last photos of their full family together. They are a way to hold onto him, not just how he looked, but how it felt to be with him. These photos are something to pass down to future generations, and allow his grandchildren to carry his memory forward.
That’s what’s at stake when we wait.
YOU DON'T NEED PERFECT, YOU JUST NEED NOW
Family portraits are a way to capture your family now. Your children will never be this age again. Your family will change in time.
Your children don’t have to behave perfectly.
Your life doesn’t need to slow down.
You don’t need to lose weight or wait for the “right” time.
You just need to decide that this matters.
Because one day, these photos won’t just be “nice to have”.
They’ll be everything.
Don’t keep putting this off.
