PRESERVING YOUR memories
Seniors
Seniors are my jam! It's not unusual to find me giddy looking at the back of my camera during a session. I enjoy bringing out confidence, personality and your beauty during the session. There is absolutely no need to be nervous because I will help direct you every step of the way!
Check out my SENIOR page for more information!
Families & PETS
Your session shouldn't be stressful so I make the experience as fun as possible! We will get the posed photo for your Christmas card but I also focus on capturing the essence and connection of your family. I promise your time with me will be painless and it will go quick!
Headshot and Personal Brand
Headshots are your first impression. It it shown in so many places from social media, print and websites. Investing in a quality image to share with your peers can help you feel more confident and professional. Personal brand sessions are customized to your unique story and personality. They capture your brand in order to attract a more ideal client and connect with authentically.
client lounge
One thing I've never been guilty of is being unorganized! Over the years, I've created a library of resources for clients. The client lounge includes my studio magazine, what to wear inspiration, tips for your session and so much more. Grab a cup of coffee and check it out!

FAQ's
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE FOR FAMILY SESSIONS?
I typically use natural light at outdoor sessions so that I can move around freely. I will get the posed family portrait but I also focus on those moments that are genuine and capture connection, joy and laughter. The longer the session, the more variety captured. So, if you really like candids I would go with a 30 minute or standard session. My editing style is classic and timeless.
I highly encourage you to preview my portfolio to make sure my style matches your vision!
WHAT TIME OF DAY IS BEST FOR MY SESSION?
Outdoor sessions are typically about one-two hours prior to sunset known as the golden hour. There are some situations and locations when I might recommend sunrise. This might not always be convenient to nap or bedtime schedules but generally we are able to still get great shots! Keep in mind that summer months have a later sunset and in the late fall much earlier. In home lifestyle sessions are scheduled mid day.
HOW DO I BOOK A SESSION?
To book a session you will pay a non refundable retainer and sign a contract. This will secure your date and time. This can all be completed online. The retainer goes towards your balance due as long as you do not breach your contract.
How long does it take to get my photos back?
Images will be delivered to you within a week of your session and can extend to two weeks during the busy fall months (September-November). If you need your session rushed for any reason, just let me know!
How many images will be in my online proofing gallery?
Many variables impact the number of images that are shown in your online proofing gallery therefore I do not guarantee the number of images in your gallery but here are some averages based on session type:
Standard session- 30-50
30 minute session- 15-30
Extended family- The number of images will vary drastically between sessions since these are customized to the family. The number of images are typically less for these sessions since it takes longer to set up an image with larger groups and are mostly traditionally posed portrait sessions.
Mini Session- 10-15 images. Mini sessions are limited to ONE area at the designated location and will not have the variety a standard session provides. If your children and/or pets take a while to warm up, please consider a 30 minute or standard session.
Lifestyle/A day in the life session- 40-50 images per hour of shooting
Senior Session- 35-40 images per hour of shooting is average but can vary depending on number of locations and outfit changes.
ARE DIGITAL IMAGES INCLUDED IN THE PRICE
All packages include digital images. The number of digital images depends on the session you booked. Images are beautifully displayed in an online proofing gallery that can be shared with family and friends.
REVIEWS

"I would highly recommend Kaye Ness. Her professionalism, creativity and willingness to meet all of our expectations was over the top! "
SHEFALI - FAMILY
"We love Kaye and the magic she brings with her camera and her eye! She has been our family photographer since our oldest was nine months old (he is six years old now!), and with each passing session, her art in photography gets more and more beautiful. Anytime anyone asks about a photographer, we recommend Kaye Ness!"
ANDREA - FAMILY
"I can't say enough great things about Kaye Ness Photography. We wanted family pictures that included all three of our dogs, including a puppy. She was totally up for the challenge and exceeded our expectations in delivery. Kaye is very professional but also laid back and helpful. She perfectly posed all the people then took care of the dogs. We are so in love with our pictures and would recommend her to any of our friends and family."
