FAMILY SESSION GUIDE
2026/2027
I'm excited to document your family!
Photography is my career and my true passion. I believe beautiful photography is the distillation of fun, relaxation, and organic connection true-to-color images that capture the refined soul of your family’s unique story.
For your family session, here’s what truly moves me:
I want you to feel completely at ease. I work in a candid, unposed way so the photographs feel like you not a performance. The goal isn’t perfect posing. It’s the joy of memorable moments as they actually happen.
I thoughtfully design each scene so those natural connections have room to breathe: a hand on a shoulder, a shared laugh, the little in-between glances that tell the real story.
This season of your family is precious, and it won’t look like this forever. I treat every detail with the care it deserves, so the images you take home feel timeless and still feel like yours.
The Foundation
DAVID MANAK
Master Photographer
& Editer
Always a creative soul, I inevitably made my artistic passions a professional reality. As an erstwhile Graphic & Web Design major, I am constantly looking for beauty in the world around us. I apply my creative training and years of experience to portray the things I love with a unique vision through the lens.
THE SESSION DAY
Every session I capture tells its own unique story. I love creating an album that truly reflects the one-of-a-kind journey you two are on together.
I deliver your completed album at full resolution through a private online gallery you can download anytime. Every image is carefully and artistically edited, and you’ll have full print and reproduction rights.
Feel free to ask me about my favorite products — like beautiful printed album booklets, canvas prints, metal prints, and wood prints. I’ve spent years searching out only the highest-quality options for my couples.
Before The Session
Photo Day
What Happens After?
-
To make it official, simply fill out the proposal, sign the contract, and pay the session fee in full.

Feel free to send over any outfit ideas you’re dreaming about!
-
Just complete the short questionnaire so I can plan the overall vision for your session and make it feel perfectly you.
-
Please arrive about 15 minutes early, dressed and ready to go.
-
Wear comfortable walking shoes — most of my locations are a little off the beaten path and involve a short walk or easy hike.
-
And most of all, just relax! I’ll be gently guiding and narrating the whole session so you can focus on each other. You can trust that we’ll create a wonderful variety of natural, creative, and beautiful images together.
-
You’ll receive your images within 30 days of the session. Need them a little sooner? I offer an expedited turnaround for an additional fee.
-
I carefully edit and compile your album to beautifully reflect all the memorable, unique details of this special chapter in your life.

I’ll also reach out afterward to see if there are any other print products or keepsakes you’d like my help with.
