Families grow and change so fast. One day, your toddler is taking their first steps, and the next, they’re off to school. Photos are the only way to freeze those moments so you can look back and remember every detail. As a Mequon family photographer, I specialize in creating warm, natural, and candid images that show your family just as you are laughing, hugging, playing, and being yourselves.

Why Families in Mequon Choose Studio 29 Photography

Family photos aren’t just about smiling at the camera. They’re about capturing real life as it happens… the way your toddler reaches for your hand, or the way your baby’s face lights up when you say their name. As a first-time mom, I feel this more than ever. Every session hits differently now because I know how fast these moments pass.

We’re also building our home right here in Mequon, and I can’t wait to be closer to my favorite clients and my go-to photo spots like Virmond Park and the Mequon Nature Preserve. It feels like I’m planting even deeper roots in the community I love photographing the most!!

When you work with me for your family photos you will love not only the photos afterwards, but the experience before, during, and after:

• Effortless Experience: From booking to photo delivery, I make the process simple and stress-free.

• Natural, Candid Style: Forget stiff poses. I focus on real smiles, genuine connection, and storytelling.

• Beautiful Locations: Mequon is full of stunning backdrops like Virmond Park, River Barn Park, and your own backyard.

FAQs About Mequon Family Photography

1. When is the best time of year for family photos in Mequon?
Late Spring and Fall are the most popular because of the fresh blooms and colorful leaves. But summer evenings and cozy winter sessions can be just as magical!! I love photographing families mid to end of summer because those are the best sunsets and late blooms!!

2. What should we wear for our session?
Neutral tones and simple patterns photograph beautifully. I send every client a style guide with color palettes and outfit ideas that match Mequon’s outdoor settings.

3. How long is a typical session?
Most family sessions last about 60–90 minutes. That gives us plenty of time for both candid moments and more classic portraits.

4. Can we bring our dogs?
Absolutely. As a dog mom myself, I love it when families include their dogs in the photo session!

5. How far in advance should we book?
I recommend booking 4–6 weeks ahead, especially for fall sessions. My Mequon calendar fills fast during peak seasons.
