Why Family Photography Matters: Celebrating Every Kind of Family

YOUR QUEER,
CAMERA-TOTING,
HYPE SQUAD!

Queer-owned. Creative-led. Two hype babes capturing love with heart. We’re Adeline and Valerie, your married duo serving up inclusive photo and video magic across Texas, Arkansas, San Francisco, and anywhere your story calls us.
We don’t just photograph weddings. We bring all the energy, empathy, and main-character vibes so you feel seen, hyped, and fully celebrated from the first hello to the last dance.

Family Photos That Actually Feel Like You Family is everything. Whether it is your kids, your partner, your chosen family, or that one auntie who always brings the good snacks, your people deserve to be celebrated. A family session is not about stiff poses or everyone forcing the same smile. At Hey Love Studios, we focus on candid editorial photography that captures the joy, chaos, and connection that make your crew unique.

What Makes Our Family Sessions Different

We know that every family looks different and that is exactly what we celebrate.

Some families are big, some are small, some are blended, and some are chosen. What they all have in common is love. Our sessions are designed to feel easy and fun, not stressful. You will never hear us say “perfect smile please.” Instead, we guide you with light direction, then step back and capture the real moments—laughs, hugs, and maybe even a little mischief. Trust us, we have a lot of fun and sometimes it feels more like a getting to know your family session rather than cameras in your faces.

Milestones Worth Remembering

Life moves fast. The kids grow, loved ones move, and seasons change. Having professional photos means you will always have more than just memories. You will have heirlooms. Photos let you relive a stage of life years from now, share them with future generations, or simply hang them on your wall as a reminder of what matters most.

It is for the big and small moments that tell your story. Think graduations, adoptions, first days of school, anniversaries, or simply celebrating being together. These photos become time capsules, giving you something tangible to look back on as your family grows and changes.

Why Invest in Family Photography

At Hey Love Studios, we bring warmth, intention, and joy to every family session. We are not here to pose you into something you are not. We are here to hype you up, make you comfortable, and show you just how beautiful your family really is.

Let’s Celebrate Your Family

If you are ready for family photos that feel real and joyful, we would love to work with you.

Whether it is a milestone celebration or simply because you love your people, we will make sure your session feels relaxed, fun, and true to your story.

Frequently Asked Questions About Family Photography

How long is a family session?

Most family sessions last about one hour. This gives us enough time for a mix of candid and lightly posed moments without anyone getting restless.

Where should we take our photos?

Adeline is a big fan of studio sessions – trust us, we got a whole list of great ones ready for you to choose from. Valerie loves shooting outdoors at parks, lakes, or even your own backyard. Our dream session is a slow session at your home where nothing is really perfect other than the love you have for each other. Don’t know what you’d like? We will help you choose a location that feels right for your family’s vibe.

What should we wear?

Wear what makes you feel good. We recommend coordinating colors rather than matching outfits, and we will send you a prep guide with tips before your session.

Can you photograph chosen families or nontraditional groups?

Absolutely. We proudly celebrate every kind of family, whether you are blended, queer, chosen, or somewhere in between.

Do you offer print products?

Yes. You will receive an online gallery with the option to order albums, wall art, or prints that turn your memories into lasting keepsakes.
