About our family galleries
Hudson Valley family photography galleries
These are real sessions with real families, photographed in Beacon, Cold Spring and across the Hudson Valley. Every gallery shows how we work: relaxed, playful and focused on the moments you will want to remember, like a toddler mid-giggle, a grandparent holding a new baby, or the whole group walking toward the water.
We are a married team based in Beacon, NY, and we keep family sessions short and easy. Most sessions are about 30 minutes, with a 60 minute option for maternity, so kids stay happy and parents can enjoy it too. We mix a little gentle direction with lots of room to play, which means you get candid family photos instead of stiff poses.
Browse the galleries above to find a style and location you love. When you are ready, learn more about our Hudson Valley family photography services or send us a message to book your session.
Our galleries cover three kinds of sessions. Family sessions are for parents, kids, grandparents and blended families. Maternity sessions celebrate the weeks before a new baby arrives, often at golden hour by the Hudson River. Pet sessions are for the furry family members who deserve their own spotlight. Each one is built around comfort, so there is no pressure to perform for the camera. Looking at a full gallery is the best way to see how a session feels, from the first awkward laugh to the last easy hug, and how the light, the season and the location shape the story.

Family photography FAQ
How long is a family photo session?
Family sessions run about 30 minutes, which is usually all the kids can handle before crankiness sets in. Maternity sessions run about 60 minutes.
Where do you photograph family sessions?
Most sessions happen in and around Beacon and Cold Spring, at places like Long Dock Park and Madam Brett Park, and we also travel throughout the Hudson Valley. We will help you pick a spot that suits your family and the season.
What should we wear?
Wear what you feel comfortable in. Coordinated colors in soft, simple tones photograph beautifully, and layers work well in fall and winter. We send you outfit ideas after you book.
Can our dog or older relatives join the session?
Yes. Blended families, grandparents and pets are all welcome. We keep the pace easy so everyone, from toddlers to grandparents, stays relaxed.
What if my kids will not cooperate?
That is completely normal, and we plan for it. We focus on play, movement and real interaction instead of stiff poses, so the photos still feel like your family even when things get wiggly.
What is the best time of year for family photos?
Fall is a favorite for color, and spring and summer offer soft evening light and greenery. Winter sessions can be especially cozy with warm layers. We schedule family sessions near golden hour whenever we can, because the light is flattering and the kids are usually at their best.
