Regardless of the season that you're in, and whether your babies are big, small or furry, this time in your life deserves to be captured by something other than your iPhone. Family sessions were born from past wedding couples asking us to document their growing families and now we just can't get enough!

We love creating photos to remind families that in spite of the fact that the car of their floor is covered in cereal, their laundry room looks like an episode of hoarders and mom and dad are in a permanent state of exhaustion, their love and their story are beautiful. 

So let's plan a day, pick a location that is meaningful to you and create a slew of images that will fill up the frames your walls for years to come. 

PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY

everything you need to know about

Ashley and Bill make you feel at ease in front of the camera which my now husband and I felt was most important. They are so warm and personable, you’ll feel like you’re working with your best friend!

They brought such an amazing energy for our engagement photos and we literally couldn't stop laughing.

Curabitur fringilla lacinia dapibus. Sed ac interdum dui. Cras viverra vulputate mauris. Pellentesque id risus sapien. Duis et commodo mi. Sed nec cursus diam, pulvinar tincidunt urna. Aliquam tempus velit at laoreet euismod. Aenean non pharetra justo. 

My heart sings every time I see the photos she captured during our day, both of us and our family and friends.

 I honestly don't think we can put into words just how amazing Bow Tie Collaborative is. We came in as clients and left as friends.  Ashley and Bill have photographed us numerous times and we always have a top notch experience with exceptional photos. 

The pictures are beyond beautiful and our family and friends rave and rave over them.

NEXT QUESTION

No one wants to look like a wet dog in their photos so if it looks like it's going to rain, snow, hail or some other weather catastrophe, we'll be in touch via email or phone to reschedule. Often, when we're scheduling our initial portrait session date, if it works for our calendars, we'll actually set up both a main date and a rain date just to make sure we don't have to postpone your session for very long if the weather is bad on the original date. 

what do we do if it rains?

frequently asked questions

NEXT QUESTION

The sooner the better! Our weekends tend to fill up pretty quickly - especially during the spring and fall, so the sooner you reach out to us, the more likely you are to get your desired date!  

We take a limited amount of  newborn sessions per month, so scheduling 2-5 months in advance is ideal.


How far in advance should we book?

NEXT QUESTION

If picking out outfits for photos takes you back to your high school days when you literally tried on everything in your closet and piled it on your bed but still felt like you had nothing to wear, you're in luck. 

We put together an outfit suggestion guide with tips for every member of the family.

What should we wear?

NEXT QUESTION

Unless you've modeled professionally, you're probably going to feel awkward in front of the camera. Heck, we take photos for a living and we even feel like a deer in the headlights when we're in front of the camera. 

You're going to feel awkward at first, but as the session goes on and we coach you through images, we think you'll find that being photographed can actually be fun. And don't worry about your kids. We're well versed in capturing even the busiest of little ones. 

We're awkward and my kids don't sit still.

NEXT QUESTION

Within a week of your session, you'll receive a link to a digital gallery that will allow you to download high resolution images. 

The gallery is also set up to make ordering prints, canvases and other keepsakes as easy as turning on a Roomba to clean your floors. No worrying about tricky things like color correction, DPI and image format. 

How will I receve my photos?
