Bucket List Family Photo Sessions for 2025

My favorite photos aren’t the ones where everyone is dressed up, smiling at the camera. They’re the ones that feel like real life, the moments you don’t realize you’ll miss until they’re gone.

That’s why this year, I’m offering Bucket List Sessions, a limited number of sessions focused on the kind of memories you’ll wish you had photos of one day.

I’m a Catskills and Hudson Valley family photographer specializing in photos that actually feel like your family, not just look like you. If you’re looking for a session that goes beyond the usual, here are some of the experiences I’d love to document this year.

Bucket List Sessions for 2025

• A day at the fair, sticky fingers, carousel rides, cotton candy smiles. The kind of day that goes by too fast, but that you’ll want to remember forever.

• Fishing at the lake, bare feet on the dock, tangled lines, the look of pure excitement when they finally get a bite.

• Backyard BBQs, burgers sizzling, kids running through the sprinkler, fireflies glowing as the night winds down.

• Gardening with the family, tiny hands digging into the soil, the quiet pride of watching something grow.

• Ice cream stops on Main Street, because every childhood should include an ice cream cone bigger than your face.

  
  

Why These Sessions?

Most families book Hudson Valley family photos for big milestones, but the everyday moments are the ones that hit the hardest when you look back. These sessions aren’t about posing or perfection, they’re about capturing what life feels like right now, so you don’t forget it later.

How to Book

These Bucket List Sessions are limited, and once they’re booked, they’re gone. If one of these sounds like your family, or if you have an idea of your own, let’s talk.

Because these really are the good old days. Let’s create proof.
