Family sessions with LOVE by Sergirée start at $240 for a mini session (15-20 minutes). The full gallery is delivered so you can browse all images, with 20 downloads included. Unlock all downloads for an additional $100. The 1-hour portrait session is $450 and includes full gallery access with unlimited downloads.

Question 2

What is the difference between a mini session and a full portrait session?

Accepted Answer

A mini session is 15-20 minutes at a preset Los Angeles location — ideal for families who want updated photos without a large time commitment. A full 1-hour portrait session is built around your specific family with a location chosen together.

Accepted Answer

Mini sessions are held at Pasadena City Hall, Claremont College, and the Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles. Full portrait session locations are chosen in consultation with each family across greater Los Angeles.

Question 4

Do you do holiday mini sessions in Los Angeles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Holiday and Christmas mini sessions are offered every fall and winter, primarily at Pasadena City Hall. Christmas tree photos are available after December 5.

Question 5

What should we wear for family photos in Los Angeles?

Accepted Answer

Coordinate rather than match — pick a color palette and let each person wear their own style within it. Neutral tones and earthy colors photograph well at outdoor LA locations. Avoid large logos or busy patterns.

How long until we receive our family photos?

Accepted Answer

Galleries are delivered within 1-2 weeks of your session via an online gallery.

Question 7

How far in advance should I book a family photographer in Los Angeles?

Mini sessions, especially fall and holiday dates, book quickly — 4-6 weeks in advance is recommended. Full portrait sessions typically book 2-4 weeks out for weekend availability.
