Courtney Potter Studio
Soulful Art for Brave Seekers
love is love
I believe that love has no labels. Whether you are straight, queer, polyamorous, or a relationship anarchist, I want to celebrate your personal expression of love and your right to choose your family – on your terms.
As a queer solo parent of an infant, I know firsthand that family comes in many forms. You won’t feel any judgment from me!
My approach to family photography is rooted in my candid documentary style.
I live for golden hour light and unscripted, authentic moments.
My family photography session fee is $500 and includes the following:
- 60-90 minutes of photographing your family at the location(s) of your choosing
- Online gallery with 60 gorgeous photos where you can easily pick out your favorites and order fine art products. 10 digital files of your favorites that you can immediately download are also included.
- Heirloom albums, canvas wall art, and other fine art collectables are sold separately. Most clients spend an additional $400-$1500 on fine are products like these. When you set up your family session I’ll walk you through the best options for your needs. Download the full fine art product and pricing list here!
What to expect in your family photography session:
1. You Fill out your Discovery Workbook.
I design your family portrait session around what YOU want to express. Do you love hikes at the Eno with your kiddos and fur-babies? Do you want to cozy up at home and challenge your kids to a PS4 battle? Your Discovery Workbook is your only homework (I promise it’s fun!), and it will help us create a fun and meaningful session together, while answering all your questions about what to wear and how to plan for your session.
2. We Take Pictures!
Your 60-90 portrait session will be catered to your own expression and experience of family. I won’t force poses on you that aren’t your style. 🙂 We’ll use what you learned in your Discovery Workbook as a template, and I will help you relax so you can enjoy yourselves. Your comfort and joy are key.
3. Image Reveal
4-6 weeks after your session I’ll email you the link to your password-protected online gallery. Once you have narrowed down your favorite portraits, I’ll help you choose wall art or design an album showcasing your fab family.
4. You Enjoy Your Artwork!
It takes 4-6 weeks to process your custom fine art or album order. You can pick it up in my Golden Belt Arts studio in Durham or have it shipped directly to you.
