Family Photography in Edmonton

Portraits of the People and Connections That Matter

Family photographs give everyone a place in the picture, including the person who usually holds the camera. They can show the relationships you share, your children’s changing personalities, and the everyday closeness that is easy to overlook. I’m Matt, a family photographer serving Edmonton and surrounding communities, and I work with you to create photographs that feel like your family.

Your session can include individual portraits, couple portraits, and group family portraits. We’ll talk about who will participate, the photographs you want, and a setting that suits your preferences. I bring a calm, guided approach, with patience and flexibility when children are involved.



Family Portraits with Personality


Some photographs are about everyone together; others give a person or a relationship its own moment. My family work includes both natural interactions and more directed portraits, with attention to the people in front of the camera.

    Hi, I’m Matt!
    Your Edmonton Family Photographer


    I’m Matt, a photographer with more than 20 years of experience, and family photography is one of the core areas of my work. Before your session, I take time to understand what you want, who will participate, and the preferences or special details that matter to your family. Thoughtful planning helps us make useful choices about scheduling, location, and the photographs we’ll focus on.

    Clients have described me as reliable and patient with children, complimented my customer service, and noted my professionalism and punctuality. Some families return for multiple sessions. I bring that same patient, professional approach to your photographs, providing natural direction while handling lighting, composition, and camera settings. Children may need time to settle or a pause, and I work with flexibility rather than expecting every moment to go to plan.

    Plan Photographs That Fit Your Family

    Tell me what you would like from your photographs: individual portraits, time together as a couple, or the family as a group. We’ll discuss your preferences and who will take part, then plan a session around the people and connections you want to photograph.

    Your Family Session: What to Expect


    Family photography starts at $199 + GST for a 45-minute session. The session can include individual portraits, couple portraits, and group family portraits, and digital files are included. Here’s how I work with you from the planning conversation through to your finished photographs.

    Understanding Your Family

    We’ll discuss your vision, preferences, who will participate, and the types of photographs you want. Bring any ideas or special details that matter to your family so we can consider them in the planning.

    Choosing a Location Together

    Sessions may be in-home where appropriate, with a studio or studio-style setup, or outdoors around Edmonton. We’ll consider your family’s preferences, comfort, accessibility, the look you want, and outdoor weather. Particular studios and outdoor locations are subject to availability.

    A Calm, Guided Session

    I provide natural photographic direction while handling lighting, composition, and camera settings. My approach is patient and professionally guided, with flexibility when children need time to settle or a break. You don’t need to know how to arrange every photograph yourself.

    Selecting the Strongest Images

    After the session, I carefully review the photographs and select the strongest images. I look for expressions, connections, and portraits that reflect the family and the goals we discussed.

    Individual Editing and Quality

    The selected photographs are individually hand edited. Attention to quality continues through the editing process, with care for the details of each image as well as the collection as a whole.

    Your Finished Photographs

    Digital files are included. Most galleries are delivered within 2–3 weeks, depending on project size. This is a general timeframe rather than a guaranteed deadline.

    Archival-quality prints and custom albums are available on request if you would like something to display or keep in print. These are additional options and are not included in the session’s starting price.
