Chattanooga & North Georgia
The Outdoor Family Experience
More than a photo session—this is time set aside to be together. We guide the location, wardrobe, posing, and every detail so your family can relax, connect, and create portraits that feel like you.
Natural. Guided. Completely You.
Your family’s story belongs in the open air.
Outdoor sessions give children room to move, parents room to breathe, and your family space to simply be together. We choose beautiful light and a location that fits your style, then guide you through genuine moments and polished portraits without making the experience feel stiff.
The best family portraits do more than show what everyone looked like. They bring you back to how being together felt.
Choose Your Experience
Two outdoor session options, thoughtfully designed for families.
Both experiences include planning guidance, a relaxed portrait session, and a personal ordering experience where we help you select the artwork and images you love most.
Signature Family Experience
$200 Reservation Fee · One Hour
Our one-hour outdoor family session gives us time to create a beautiful variety of relaxed, natural portraits. We will help guide you with location selection, clothing, posing, and every detail needed to make the experience easy and enjoyable.
Extended Family Experience
$350 Reservation Fee
Created for larger families and multiple generations, this experience allows extra time for the full group, individual households, grandparents with grandchildren, siblings, couples, and other meaningful combinations.
Every dollar of your reservation fee is applied directly toward the portrait collection you choose after your session—including artwork, prints, and digital images. The fee secures your date and becomes a full credit toward your final purchase.
Locations more than 30 minutes from the Matt & Shea Photography studio may require an additional travel fee.
Guided From Start to Finish
All the beauty, without all the guesswork.
You do not have to arrive knowing how to pose, what everyone should wear, or where the session should happen. We take care of the planning and guide the entire experience.
Plan
We help select your location, coordinate clothing, and learn which relationships and moments matter most.
Create
We guide flattering portraits and natural interaction while leaving room for the unscripted moments that make your family unique.
Preserve
We help you turn favorite images into albums, wall art, prints, cards, and digital keepsakes made to last.
Heirloom Artwork
Your photographs deserve a life beyond the screen.
Someday, when you share these memories with your grandchildren, will everyone crowd around a phone—or will you turn the pages of a beautiful album, open a box of finished prints, and point to the portraits that have lived on your walls for years?
We create artwork you can hold, display, share, and pass down.
Heirloom Albums
Archival albums with beautiful lay-flat spreads, custom-designed to tell the complete story of your family experience.
Memory Boxes & Prints
A personalized keepsake box filled with finished 5×7 prints—made for holding, sharing, and revisiting together.
Greeting Cards
Custom 5×7 holiday and announcement cards that turn your family portraits into something meaningful to send and receive.
Wall Art & Collages
Gallery wraps, statement portraits, and custom collages designed to bring warmth, scale, and your family’s story into your home.
Infinity Galleries & Mobile Apps
Your downloadable gallery remains online for as long as Matt & Shea Photography is operating. Add a custom mobile app—and even your personalized slideshow—to carry your memories everywhere.
