Family
Authentic, connection-driven family photography with an editorial touch.
El & Em Photography works with families in Troy, Rochester Hills, and across Metro Detroit to create relaxed, natural family sessions that focus on connection rather than perfect posing.
Timeless, connection-driven family imagery created with intention — designed to reflect your relationships and be treasured for generations.
Family sessions at El & Em Photography are a full-service, luxury experience focused on authentic connection, natural movement, and elevated simplicity. Each session is gently guided and styled to feel effortless, emotional, and true to your family.
The Experience
Your family session includes:
A personalized, 1–1.5 hour guided session
Gentle direction and natural posing
Styling guidance for the entire family
Professional retouching and image refinement
A private in-person image reveal & design appointment
I take care of the flow, creative direction, and subtle prompting — so you can simply be present and enjoy your time together.
The Creative Fee
A $150 Creative Fee is required to reserve your session date.
This covers my time and creative expertise in:
Pre-session consultation and planning
Styling guidance for the family
A fully customized family session experience
The Creative Fee does not include products or digital images and is separate from your final collection investment.
Investment
Family collections begin at $600.
Most families invest between $900–$1,200, depending on the images and artwork they choose.
All images and products are selected after your session at your in-person reveal. No pre-set packages — you choose what you love.
Booking
Family sessions are available year-round and take place in studio or at a curated outdoor location, depending on the season and your vision.
