Family / Engagement Photo Sessions

---

At Vikemyr Photo, we believe that family photography is more than just capturing smiles—it's about preserving the connection, joy, and personalities that make your family unique. Whether you're planning your first family session or updating portraits after a few years, we’re here to make your experience relaxed, enjoyable, and meaningful.

Preparing for your session can make all the difference. Here are a few helpful tips to ensure your family photo shoot runs smoothly and produces timeless results:

• Coordinate, Don’t Match: Choose complementary colors and patterns instead of identical outfits. Soft, neutral tones or a consistent color palette work beautifully in photos.
• Pick the Right Location: Think about what fits your family’s vibe—whether it’s a cozy park, rustic trail, your own backyard, or even a downtown urban setting. We’re happy to recommend locations we know photograph well throughout Central Indiana.
• Keep Kids Comfortable: Bring favorite snacks, small toys, or even a blanket for comfort. The best photos happen when kids feel relaxed and can just be themselves.
• Timing is Everything: For the best lighting, schedule your session during the golden hour—either shortly after sunrise or before sunset.

While posed portraits are classic, we also love capturing those candid in-between moments—the laughter, the hand-holding, the way your toddler clings to your leg or your teen bursts into giggles. These unplanned, unscripted interactions are often the ones families treasure most.

During your session, we’ll guide you with light direction to create natural opportunities for connection. You don’t need to “perform” for the camera—just enjoy time with your family, and let us do the rest.

Children grow fast. Family dynamics shift. Annual portraits help freeze moments in time that might otherwise be lost to memory. With each session, you build a visual legacy—one that reflects your family’s journey, milestones, and ever-changing chapters.

Think of family photography not as a one-time event, but as a tradition worth revisiting. Whether you're celebrating a new baby, a graduation, or simply want to remember this season of life—these images will become treasured heirlooms for generations to come.

At Vikemyr Photo, we specialize in creating authentic, high-quality portraits that tell your family’s story with warmth and care. We offer flexible session packages, from quick seasonal mini-sessions to full lifestyle shoots. Let's make something beautiful together.
