2. Family portraits can boost your children’s self-esteem.
3. Family portraits can become family heirlooms that can be passed down through generations
4. Wall art made from family portraits can make your house feel like a home.
5. Family portraits can document the changes in our lives and the lives of our loved ones.
6. Best of all, when you hire a professional photographer, who can be rest assured that the lighting and posing will be right.

How Much Does a Professional Photographer Cost?

The average cost of a family photographer in the US is around $100-$400 an hour. However, family photographers in bigger cities tend to make more than those living in smaller areas. The range of family photography pricing for flat-rate family photographers who only provide digital files can be anywhere from $250 per session to $2000. Photographers who rely more heavily on print and album sales may even charge a little less for family photos since they end up selling after the initial session.
