You're in good hands
When I photograph a family, I’m not just capturing images; I’m telling a story that becomes part of their legacy for the generations to come. My goal is that when you look back at your photos 5, 10, or even 30 years from now, you don’t just remember what you looked like...you'll remember how you felt.
Hey, it's LJ.
I have always been a storyteller. Growing up, I would write my own skits, plays, and short stories myself and dreamed of having my own film studio. I still have a passion for writing and acting, but my love for stories is really what drew me to photography. I love knowing the reason behind the colors you chose for your session, where these photos will end up in the home, and the family traditions that you all have.
It's all important, because it's all you.
“LJ is timely, professional and so organized. He made our family picture day fun. He was patient with our family and he has great people skills. My girls are always shy at photo shoot but he made their personalities come out. Thanks LJ!”

A little intention goes a long way.
The Living Out Loud Experience
Your session should feel like time together. I'll handle the details so you can simply be with the people you love.
I'll guide you when you need direction, and step back when the moment calls for it. Toddlers wander. Teenagers roll their eyes. Grandparents want to get it right. I've got all of it, and none of it needs to be your job.
I'm watching for the moments between you: a hand finding a shoulder, a laugh that starts with one person and travels down the row, the way your youngest still reaches for your hand without thinking. Those are the frames you'll come back to.
When it's time for portraits, I'll help everyone feel comfortable enough to forget the camera is there. You'll end up with photos that feel elevated and beautiful, and still looks unmistakably like your family.
“The Anderson Family hired LJ of Living Out Loud Productions for a family photo shoot session which turned out to be incredibly awesome. What a fine young man and photographer. He's professional and personable and brings a level of quality engagement to his work. We loved every minute.”

FAQ
Can we customize a collection?
Each collection has been tailored specifically for different needs, however you are able to add on any items to the base collections!
How far in advance should we book?
Because dates go by quickly, I would suggest booking me 2 to 4 months in advance!
How long does it take to get our photos?
After your session, you will be given a gallery of the unedited photos for you to select which photos you'd like edited. Expect that within 24 hours. Full galleries will be sent 3 weeks from the day you make your selections. All images will be delivered online in a private gallery directly to you. (Don't worry, you'll get previews as well!)
Do you offer albums or prints?
Yes to all of the above. You will receive in your final online gallery your digital images, but I also have a print store where you can order any and all of your printed art work.
