Abbey Knoll Photography
Family Portraits

My sessions are relaxed and informal. Everyone in your family will have fun during our session. We can shoot in studio or on location. Favorite locations include Rexhame Beach in Marshfield and a local park in Hanover, a truly stunning setting for fall foliage sessions.

My goal is to capture your child's true personality. I don't stiffly pose them or press the shutter only when they smile. Children live in a constant state of motion. I try my best to capture that energy and provide you with images that truly reflect your child's individuality.

Sessions usually last about 90 minutes; however, your family, usually your youngest child, will determine the length. I will work to build a rapport with young children to create a comfortable environment for the best possible photographic result.

I enjoy my work and I hope it shows both in the quality of the images I produce and in the high level of customer service I provide. My Portraits Session fee of $175 includes an on-location session for your immediate or extended family; an 8x10 spiral bound proof book; and an online gallery full of your images to review and share.

I do NOT charge additional fees on a per-person basis. That means you are welcome to bring extended family members to participate in your session.

For your convenience, you can purchase photos directly through the Abbey Knoll website. Prices are reasonable and reflective of the current economy. View some of our recent sessions at www.abbeyknollphotography.smugmug.com/family

Here is a link to a fantastic blog post, debating the pros & cons of digitial images vs prints.

I wish I wrote it myself, but Heidi of Heidi Hope Photography in Warwick, RI said it best. Here's a link and an except from her post:

So why does anyone hire a professional photographer anymore?

We invest in professional photographers to capture the details of our life beautifully and in a way that no one else can. We invest in a service that caters to our specific requests and takes care of the whole process professionally from end to end. I can cook a gourmet meal at home, but there is nothing like going to my favorite fine restaurant and having the amazing staff take care of everything for us. We hire professional photographers to create “artwork” for us and for our families. We hire them to document a time in our lives through their unique artistic eye so that we can enjoy looking back on it for generations. If all you get is a dvd in the mail, upload to the pics to facebook and then stuff your DVD in a drawer, you are missing out on what professional photography truly is! Couldn’t you have just as easily shared some Iphone pics?
