It’s funny being a photographer, because it’s a very social profession. I’m not just supplying a product and walking away. I am getting to know my clients, joking around, personalizing my services to them, and hopefully delivering a completely bespoke and authentic experience. More times than not I don’t just connect with my clients and their families as a professional, but as a friend. I’ve met some of the most beautiful people and families working my way through this world with my camera, and often have the joy of watching little families grow from marriage to bringing children into this world… and all the milestones in-between! Honestly, it’s pretty rad.
August is a fun time of year for me because I unlock my Family Photography Special and offer unique and custom 40 minutes family photography sessions which include all photos (25+!), a private online gallery, and unlimited printing and sharing rights at a discounted price. I love these sessions and look at them as art and take the time to help curate and coordinate the perfect wardrobe and location. It’s about telling the story, not just saying “cheese!”
Photographs should be fluid and authentic, showing personality and oozing fun! I love this challenge, and I love making it happen for all my past clients in August.
SO! Enough cheese and sappiness! Guess what, guys? Tomorrow is August 1st! That means it’s time for my 2019 family photo sessions! Let’s get together, catch up, have some fun, and create memorable art with your unique little family. Throw the photos up on your wall or have a drool-and-instagram-worthy holiday card. Make an album. Cherish the moment. I’m here for you!
So, why August? Because the nights are long, the sun is warm and soft and hangs in a way so special to late summer. This time of year adds a glow and magic to the golden hour and creates palpable photographs that speak to me creatively. Honestly, August is my best friend.
Now, I’m a little boho-chic so these warm tones and mystical backgrounds play visual music to me. Are you a little hippie-chic? Are you listening to “Hipster Cocktail Party Radio” on Pandora (it’s a real thing and it’s AMAZING!)? Then you need to come hang out for the afternoon with me this weekend. It’s worth it, I promise.
Every year your children will grow. Things will change. Souls will evolve and dreams will be made and broken. Let’s capture it before it slips away!
But, also, I mean, JUST LOOK AT THAT BEAUTIFUL BABY.
Be sure to email me ASAP if you’re in the Fairfield County Connecticut area so set a date for your session! Space is limited, but my heart is full! You can reach me directly at lillie@lilliefortino.com. Can’t wait to end off this summer with you in front of my lens!
