Catskills Family Photographer
I know, I know.
You hired me to take photos, not films.
But hear me out. What if I told you that without adding much time at all to your session, we could also create something truly special, that you probably didn't even know you needed?
Capturing
Moments
You’re smack dab in the middle of the "good old days" right now, whether you know it or not. Explosions of laughter, tiny hands held tightly, and the spontaneous joy of your children’s everyday adventures—these are the moments that define your family's unique story. The ways your family is connected that can't be captured in a still frame.
You never know you need something until you see it put together. I’ve never even thought about having someone put together a video of my family- then the talented Jill C. Smith Photography advertised this option with family photos and I thought why not! I am obsessed with how she captured my littles' personalities in this! Structured photos don’t do my kiddos justice, they are happiest moving around. Time moves too fast and the kids are growing like weeds, this is something I will cherish.
Years from now, you might find yourself reminiscing about these times, wishing you had a way to relive the chaos or those quiet, tender moments that pass by in a heartbeat.
Photos are wonderful, but they can’t capture the way your toddler runs, or how your tween rolls her eyes, in short, the actual life in those moments.
What if you could bottle up these memories, to revisit them anytime you want? A time capsule for your family to revisit, year after year. A piece of your own legacy.
Our house is so much more than wood, plaster, and stone. It's a home where memories have been made ... laughter, tears, struggles, and triumphs. Thank you Jill C. Smith Photography for so skillfully capturing the essence of our little family at our "big yellow house" (thanks to our kids for this wonderful gift).
Family Films.
Your Living Legacy.
You might still have questions! No problem.
Here are some I hear a lot.
How long does it take?
Editing films takes a bit longer than photos, so you can expect your film to be edited and uploaded to your online gallery within 4 weeks of your session.
Can we pick our music?
Due to the high cost of licensing popular music, I rely on open source, royalty free music for my films. Still I've found there to be a lot of great tracks to choose from. If you have a particular tune that means a lot to your family, let me know, and I'll see what I can do!
What do I do with the film?
Enjoy it! You'll be able to download your film to enjoy on your devices, or share the link with those you'd like to share it with. There are also several companies now, such as The Motion Book, who sell books to host your videos.
Are these only for family sessions?
No! Films can be added onto maternity and newborn sessions as well! I actually think they are a must for in home and Fresh 48 newborn sessions!
