They may roll their eyes—but they’ll thank you later. Most Definitely.

Whether you’ve got toddlers clinging to your leg or teenagers pretending they’re too cool for this (they’re not), these sessions are about freezing time before everyone scatters. No props. No pressure. Just real family connection—with enough laughs to keep things fun and enough beauty to make you wonder why you waited this long. And when it’s over? You’ll have artwork that belongs on your walls—designed to suit your style and remind you what matters, every time you walk by.

What Makes Our Outdoor Family Sessions Different (In the Best Way)?

At Courtney Ranck-Copher Photography, family sessions are about feeling like yourselves—only better. I’ll handle the posing (don’t worry, Mom—I’ve got you), keep the kids laughing (maybe with a fart noise or two), and make sure everyone’s actually looking at the camera. From wardrobe to wall art, I’ve got the details covered so you can just enjoy your people.

.01

Style & Concept Concierge Consultation

I come to you—no traffic, no stress. During this personalized visit, we’ll talk wardrobe, location ideas, and how your family’s unique style and story translate into artwork you’ll love. Think of it as your own personal photography concierge, taking care of all the details so your session feels effortless and truly yours.

.02

Professional Beauty Experience

Because dry shampoo can only take you so far.
Our go-to hair and makeup artist will give you that fresh, natural glow (without the panic of doing it yourself in the minivan mirror). Whether you’ve got littles hanging on your leg or teens pretending they don’t know you, this is your chance to feel pampered, look amazing, and show up to your session feeling like the gorgeous, put-together version of yourself. No stress required.

.03

A Session That’s Actually About You

No rush. No stress. Just your real-life crew—captured beautifully.
I only take a limited number of family sessions so you’re never squeezed in between soccer practice and someone else’s 3:00 meltdown. We’ll plan around your people, your pace, and whatever season of life you’re in—whether that means snack breaks, bad jokes, or a quick pep talk in the car. This is your time to slow down, laugh hard, and walk away with images that feel like your family—just a little more magical.

The Part Where You Cry Happy Tears

After your session, we’ll meet for a relaxed, in-person viewing and ordering appointment—snacks included, tissues optional (but often needed). This is your time to see your images come to life, relive the laughs, and choose the ones that tug at your heart. I’ll help you narrow it down, plan what goes where, and design artwork that actually fits your space (and your style). No overwhelm, no guessing—just a whole lot of laughing, pointing, and “okay, that one’s going on the wall.”

Hello and welcome! I’m so excited to meet you!

Hi, I’m Courtney—your photographer, your guide, and the unofficial CEO of “Just One More Shot.”

I’ll help you plan outfits that feel like you, keep the session fun (even if someone shows up grumpy), and turn real family moments into artwork made for your walls. The good times, the chaotic moments, the not-so-easy seasons—it’s all part of your story. And when you see your images, you’ll know it’s all been worth it.

xo,
Courtney

FAQs

When should I book my session?: We recommend booking your maternity session between 28–34 weeks, when your belly is beautifully round but you're still feeling comfortable enough to move with ease. For newborn sessions, it's best to reserve your spot while you're still pregnant—we’ll pencil in your due date and adjust as needed once your baby arrives. This allows us to photograph your newborn within the first two weeks of life, when they’re still curled, sleepy, and oh-so-new.

Only a limited number of sessions are available each month to ensure the highest level of service and flexibility, so early booking is encouraged.
What types of payment do you accept?: I accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, and good old-fashioned cash. Your session fee is due at the time of booking, and any artwork or product payments are due at your ordering appointment.
What should I wear for my session?: That’s where I come in. During your style and concept consultation, we’ll talk through your personal style, your home’s aesthetic, and how you want your images to feel. I’ll help you choose colors and silhouettes that photograph beautifully and feel true to you.

You’ll also have access to my curated client closet—a thoughtful collection of soft, timeless pieces for mothers. Everything is chosen to flatter a growing belly or newly postpartum body, so you can feel confident, comfortable, and radiant.

For your baby, I provide simple, beautiful wraps, headbands, and hats that keep the focus on their perfect newness. All you have to do is show up and love on your baby—we’ll take care of the rest.
Is professional hair and makeup included? What if I prefer to do my own?: Yes—professional hair and makeup is included for maternity sessions and is a wonderful way to begin your session feeling pampered, confident, and radiant. Our trusted artist specializes in natural, polished looks that enhance your beauty while still feeling true to you.

If you prefer to do your own hair and makeup, that’s completely fine. Just know that the session fee remains the same, as the overall experience and time dedicated to your session doesn’t change. Either way, we’ll provide guidance to help you feel your absolute best in front of the camera.
What’s included in the session fee?: Your session fee includes much more than time in front of the camera—it’s the beginning of a full-service, personalized experience. It covers your style and concept consultation, access to our curated client wardrobe, professional hair and makeup for maternity sessions, and expert guidance throughout.

You’ll also receive a print credit to use toward custom artwork, allowing you to begin building the heirloom pieces your family will treasure. From first inquiry to final installation, we’re here to make the entire process seamless, meaningful, and beautifully tailored to you.
