Family Portraits by Wandering Roots Photography

At Wandering Roots Photography, I specialize in capturing the natural, unscripted moments that define your family. I believe the best portraits aren’t just about perfect poses—they’re about real smiles, playful moments, and the connections that make your family unique.

As a photographer, I focus on keeping sessions relaxed and fun, especially for the kids. My approach blends a mix of gently posed family photos with candid snapshots, capturing those in-between moments when everyone’s guard is down, and real personalities shine through.

What makes my work truly distinctive? I shoot exclusively on 35mm film, giving each portrait a warm, nostalgic look that’s hard to achieve with modern digital photography. This vintage touch helps preserve the memories in a way that feels timeless and authentic—perfect for framing, sharing, and cherishing for years to come.

What to Expect

Your family portrait session will feel more like a relaxed afternoon than a photoshoot. Here’s how it works:

The Setting: You choose a location where your family feels at ease—whether it’s your backyard, a favorite park, or a scenic spot that’s meaningful to you.
The Session: We’ll start with a group shot of your whole family, then break down into smaller groupings. While I guide you into poses, I ensure everything feels natural and fun. Expect lots of positive reinforcement so everyone feels confident in front of the camera!
Candid Moments: While we move through group shots, I’ll also capture candid moments of your kids being themselves—playing, laughing, and goofing off—so you get a mix of both posed and playful images.
Timeframe: Sessions typically last about 45-60 minutes, giving everyone enough time to relax and enjoy the process without feeling rushed.
Viewing & Ordering: About a week after your session, you’ll receive a private online gallery where you can view and download high-resolution images. You’ll also have access to professional prints, albums, and more through the gallery.
