Lifestyle Family Session
NO AWKWARD FAMILY PHOTOS HERE!
We approach our family sessions the same we we approach our wedding + adventure sessions—as an organic, lifestyle experience. We want to not only create great photos for your family, but a lasting memory from the session as well.
-
No. 01Lots of funBonus: the kids will love us
Have we mentioned that En Tao loves a good dad joke? He’ll fit right in! We love to laugh and will do our best to make sure your family session is an enjoyable experience.
-
No. 02Natural photosTHAT YOU WILL CHERISH FOR YEARS TO COME
People tend to overthink family photos. We believe the key to great family photos is to participate in the everyday activities you already enjoy.
-
No. 03Fast!Faster than you can say Worcestershire sauce.
Nothing’s worse than waiting six months to see your photos. That’s why we strive to get your photos back to you within two weeks of your shoot! You might even get them faster if you bribe En Tao with a Chipotle Burrito.
-
What do we wear?
Whatever you want! Just try not to be too matchy-matchy. Remember, we don’t do awkward! It’s important to wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident. If you need further guidance, feel free to ask us before your session
-
How many outfits can we have?
We typically only have enough time for one.
PRO TIP: Wear layers for an easy way to create a different look!
-
Can I get a picture like this?
There is no need to show us your Pinterest board. You don’t want photos just like everyone else’s do you?
-
How do you pronounce En Tao?
While Maria is a much more common name, En Tao tends to trip people up. So let us help you out:
En – sounds like the letter “N”
Tao – rhymes with cow
-
Do you do well with kids?
Although we don’t have any kids of our own, we love kids and have many honorary nieces and nephews. We apologize, in advance, if your kids leave the shoot a little giggly and riled up.
-
How much do you charge?
Our family portrait sessions is $700 which includes high resolution digital photos delivered to you via an online gallery.
Unlike traditional portrait/family photographer, we do not charge a session fee and a separate charge per file you pick out. We like to keep things simple; one rate and it includes all the final edited high resolution digital photos (no watermark, all retouched and edited).
We also do not charge a high premium per print. Our print prices are very affordable. Our goal is to provide the best quality prints for your home, not necessarily making a profit on print sales.
Travel fee may apply, please inquire for a quote.
-
How long is the family session?
We try to keep it to be 1.5 hrs or less. It usually take kids 15-20 minutes to warm up to us, after that magic happens.
-
How many pictures do you deliver?
We do not have a limit on how many photos we will take during your session, therefore we do not cap how many photos we will deliver. You can expect around 40 photos minimally – all fully edited, typically we deliver much more than that.

Wow. I'd highly recommend Magnified Joy Photography for any photographic needs. They made the experience of taking pictures of us and our twin boys and dogs fun. The results were wonderful.
As an active family, we've hired photographers around the country and world and have never had this results this stunning. We will certainly be using Magnified Joy anytime we care about getting top pictures.

Oh my word!!! You guys got some wonderful pictures, especially of the baby (and our pup). We just love them!!! You did a beautiful job and we are so so so grateful for the photos. You are both gifted at what you do. Meeting you both has been a blessing to us in more ways than one. We look forward to getting some in frames around the house and sharing them with our family and friends back home.
Our sincerest thanks!!!

It was a pleasure hanging out with En Tao + Maria. We love our photos and can't wait to hang them up on our walls!
