The tiniest fingers. The sweetest yawns. The moments that pass before you’re ready. Our newborn sessions are designed to capture all of it beautifully — in your home or in our Fort Worth studio.
From growing families to milestone seniors to everyday moments worth remembering — we bring a relaxed, joyful approach to every portrait session.
You value your images and your experience.
Fortunately, we excel in both.

"I know if I have someone from Lightly Photography taking my family's photos I am going to have photos I can cherish forever. "
Family sessions can take anywhere from twenty minutes to two hours. However, due to children's (and sometimes spouse's) short attention spans, we've found most families only need a mini or one-hour session. To better understand your needs, we'll contact you to discuss location, logistics, and timing. And we're happy to come to your home or help you determine the best location for you.
After you reach out, we'll provide additional information about pricing and availability so you can easily schedule your session. Then, we'll get started by defining your goals and priorities for your session. We'll confirm all the details including your names, ages of your children, and any four-legged family members. And we'll discuss any specific preferences you have in mind.
Our family photographers are experts with children— big and small. So, we know the key is to pose quickly and efficiently while still creating pockets of fun and laughter. This way, we get a mix of classic "looking at the camera smiley faces" that mom wants with the candid, in-the-moment images that everyone loves. So, when all is said and done, your family walks away with great memories and even better photos.
Preparing for family photos can be stressful. We're here to help however we can. This is why we'll send preparation guides and outfit tips. And provide useful information to remember before, during, and after your session. So when it's your turn to smile for the camera you'll feel informed, prepared, and confident.
Two weeks after your session you will receive gallery with digital image download. We'll invite you for an in-person or phone consultation to review your photos together. And we're happy to advise you on the best ways to purchase, print, or display your finished gallery—without pressure or hassle.
