FAMILY
PHOTOGRAPHY
“Kolleen and Bobby have been keeping us amazed by their photography for 7 years now; somehow capturing the absolute essence of our ever changing family in just an hour.” – Lindsay & Chris
Present & Engaged
As lifestyle photographers, we are there to be present, observe, and engage with you, so that we can capture a moment in time for your family. We help curate an environment that makes you feel comfortable. We encourage you to be yourselves and interact with each other. Play, tickle, laugh, dance, snuggle, and kiss. Children grow quickly, and life moves fast. You’ll never regret taking the opportunity to capture this moment in time.
All Stages of Family
Our family coverage spans the generations. We document families just beginning their journey towards birth, families with children of all ages, adoption stories, seniors graduating high school, and multi generational shoots that capture up to 5 generations!
Lifestyle Maternity
“When I first found out I was pregnant, I immediately knew that I wanted Bobby & Kolleen to do our maternity and newborn session.” – Kaylee
A Day in the Life – For newborn sessions, we come to your home to capture precious memories in the place where your baby will grow up. We are there to document moments of interaction between parents and children, partners, siblings, grandparents, and even pets! We encourage you to get lost in the moment: hold their tiny hands, tickle their toes; look at each other and marvel at what you’ve created.
Snuggles Not Staging – If thinking about getting your house spick and span for a photoshoot makes you nervous, know that we are there to capture memories with your family, not to photograph your house. All we require is some natural light near a clean surface where you can sit with the baby: your bed, a couch, a rocking chair in the nursery.
We’re There for You – A tiny new person has moved into town and life has turned upside down. You’re likely very tired and not ready to host guests. We expect nothing beyond you enjoying your time together as a family. We understand that this is a transitional phase of life and will be supportive and understanding as you tend to any of yours or the baby’s needs.
Lifestyle Newborn
Make it your Own — We are interested in capturing maternity photos that feel authentic to who you are as a person and a couple. This comes from you taking the time to interact with one another and us; to slow down and savor the moment. Pregnancy is a wild journey. We encourage you to luxuriate into documenting this stage of life by having fun with each other!
Goddess Mode Engaged
For maternity sessions, we recommend getting out in nature to celebrate this milestone in rhythm with the natural world around you. We are focused on helping you tap into your goddess mode as you feel the beauty of life growing inside you! We are there to document you and your partner as you celebrate your child’s upcoming birth and cherish this moment in time together.
“Bobby and Kolleen put us all at ease during what can be a tender but also vulnerable time with a new baby -- so much so that our little guy even smiled for the very first time during the shoot!” – Jess & Remi
Lifestyle Family
“Their friendly demeanor, expert direction, and down to earth attitude turned what we thought would be a challenging experience with a photo shy 8 year old boy into a delightful one.” — Samantha
A Memorable Experience – For family sessions, the key is making it fun! The idea of posing for portraits doesn’t often appeal to children. Luckily, a lifestyle family session with Photos By Kintz is an entertaining and memorable time, guaranteed. Let’s do something that feels true to who you are as a family. We can go on an adventure to your favorite trail. We can come to your home to play in the backyard with the family dog. Or, let’s explore a new place together!
No Cheese, Please – We often see tension develop between children and their parents, when little ones are asked to stand still and “say cheese” for a photo. Rather than asking your child to smile for the camera, you could whisper something silly in their ear, make a funny face, or tickle them. When you play, your kids have fun, and that’s when the magic happens.
Senior Photos
“They truly captured my daughter's authentic self and we will cherish these photos forever. I will absolutely be hiring them again for my son's senior photos.” — Carrie
Getting to Know You
We encourage seniors to be themselves and not alter their appearance or attitude for the photoshoot. Our goal is to capture images that reflect the truest you. Great portraits happen when you are relaxed and feel comfortable in front of our cameras. We help make that happen by asking you questions and playing your favorite tunes.
On Top of the World
We love to ride the chairlift to the summit of Mad River Glen during fall foliage. How symbolic, taking senior photos on top of a mountain! We explore nature and capture portraits that make you feel like a movie star. Of course, senior photos are available at any location, but wherever we go, we want this level of hype for senior portraits.
Multi Generational Family
All Together Now!
Extended family sessions capture 3, 4, or more generations of the family. It’s so seldom that all the branches of the family tree come together, don’t miss the chance to commemorate it!
Big & Little – We capture group photos of all the family members, and each family unit. We also highlight the various combinations like grandparents with grandchildren or all the cousins. But, the real magic is in all the moments in between!
We Get It
We’re parents and understand that taking posed photos with young children can be stressful. We’re here to alleviate your worries! We take the time to earn your child’s trust by getting on their level, asking them questions, giving them space, and making the experience a playful one. We know how to be silly with littles and understatedly cool with teens. We will win the family over and make sure everyone is having fun!
“With two very rascally, and often volatile toddlers, we were reluctant to even attempt a family photo shoot. The Kintzes specialize in rascal, masterfully spinning mischief into playful joy. The photos are absolutely priceless - every one of us is radiant! - and the experience was a rollicking core memory!” — Rebekah
