In safe hands: As a father of four kids, I know how fast life flies by between soccer practice and homework. I often look back on pictures of my kids from only a few months ago and can see noticeable changes to them. It's this exact reason why it's so important to photograph this season of life you're in- whatever season that may be.
What does it look like to work with us?: Having Nathan Desch Photography photograph your family allows the true you to shine. We take our time to capture the personalities and relationships that make your family special. We're not going to race through a few canned poses and be on our way. We'll take our time to get all of the combos we need while also getting plenty of candids and shots of you interacting naturally. This isn't a Sears photo session like from when you were a kid.
Scheduling Info
The cell phones in our pockets today have better technology than the cameras I used when I started my career, but where the magic is with family photography is not in the technology itself. It's in getting your images printed so that you can enjoy them on a regular basis, share with friends and family, and be able to remember this moment in time with clarity.
As a dad, I see how fast life flies by and if we don't make time to intentionally document it, it's easy for one season to slip into the next. Don't let that happen for you.
No point in letting your photos languish on the Cloud forever. These portraits were designed to be printed. We offer a number of ways to display your photographs: museum-quality heirloom albums, photo books which are ideal for grandparents, wall art and prints of all sizes.
During the gallery reveal session, I'll present you with a variety of options to consider, but long before the session, we'll have a planning meeting so that we go into the portrait session with a plan in place to ensure you're getting exactly what you're looking for!
Not sure how to display your photos? There are lots of choices and it can feel overwhelming trying to choose what’s best for your home. I'll be with you every step of the way so that you know what is available to you and what our unique recommendations are for your home and family.
Ready to get started?
If you're looking for a photographer who is simply going to snap a few shots for you, deliver a gallery and then send you on your merry way, we're probably not a great fit. Our families hire us because we guide them through the entire process with intention. We'll ask questions to make sure that the final products we deliver to you align perfectly with what you're looking to do. This involves a planning meeting, gallery reveal session and guidance throughout the entire process.
Nathan’s philosophy
“Nathan was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. His day started with us at 10am and he and his team stayed with us for over 12 hours! Many of our guests came to us after and asked who our photographer was because they were "on point" capturing every moment. From the very beginning of the process, he was extremely accommodating with our requests and flexible with us when need be. We are so excited to see the final results and can't wait to see the final images!”
- Nicole A
I have a fondness for weddings that take place around Christmas. Everyone is generally in a great mood, the family...
How long have you been shooting families?
We have been shooting weddings since 2007 and have worked with not only our past wedding clients, but also those whose first interaction with us was for family portraits
Can I give you a list of shots that I want for our portrait session?
You can. During our pre-session meeting, we'll go over a lot of things that pertain to the session and the final deliverables. We want to make sure every combo is shot in an authentic way that highlights the relationships you've built.
Do you bring back-up equipment to every shoot?
We do. We have extra batteries, memory cards, lenses, and cameras.
Do you travel?
We love to travel and experience new places. If your family portrait session is within 30 miles (round trip) of our studio, there are no extra fees. If it is further away, we'd be happy to give you a custom quote to cover nominal travel expenses.
Are the images we see edited?
All images you see in the reveal session are color corrected and adjusted, however, we do not perform final edits until you've made your purchase selections. These with go through a much more extensive edit and retouching process.
