Whether you are planning a children’s session, updating family portraits, or preparing for a maternity or newborn milestone, we help shape the session around your needs from the first conversation through ordering.

Many clients reach out when they want portraits that feel personal and polished, but still relaxed enough for kids, parents, and everyone else involved.

Local service help

Burbank families often need portraits that work for a range of uses, from framed prints at home to images for announcements, gifts, and online profiles. Our sessions are built to make that easier. We offer studio portraits and on-location sessions, so you can choose the setting that suits your vision and your family’s comfort level.

With Lisa Whitmore Photography, the process starts with a pre-session consultation by phone or in person. That conversation helps shape the session around your goals, whether you want a classic portrait look, a more candid family feel, or a specific concept such as pool portraits or underwater imagery. After the session, we can review selections in person or via Zoom so you can move forward at a pace that feels comfortable.

Local property needs

Burbank, CA households often have portrait needs that shift with family stage and how the images will be displayed. Some clients want a session centered on children who are growing quickly. Others want coordinated family portraits that feel relaxed but still formal enough for prints. We plan for those needs by keeping the session simple, organized, and tailored to the people being photographed.

If your home display style leans toward framed artwork, we can create portraits with a timeless look that works well in a variety of spaces. If you need images for a yearly update, milestone celebration, or shared family announcement, we can shape the session to keep the results cohesive. Outdoor, studio, and pool settings can each support a different kind of portrait story, so the setting can be matched to the purpose.

Helpful planning points

1. Who is being photographed

   Adults, children, babies, or a mix of family members may call for a different pace and setup.

2. How the photos will be used

   Wall prints, gifts, cards, and digital sharing can influence the style and framing of the session.

3. What feel you want

   Some families prefer a posed look, while others want natural expressions and gentle movement.

What to expect

From start to finish, the experience is designed to feel clear and manageable. We begin with consultation, then help with wardrobe ideas and activity guidance so everyone knows what to expect before the session day arrives. That preparation matters because it helps clients feel comfortable and makes the session run more smoothly.

During the session, the approach stays client-focused and adaptable. Children may need breaks or encouragement, and family portraits may need a few variations to find the right expression or arrangement. The goal is to create artistic portraits that feel natural while still being intentional and refined.

After the session

Once the images are ready for review, the ordering appointment can happen in person or via Zoom. That gives Burbank clients flexibility when deciding which images to print, save, or share. We can help narrow favorites based on expression, composition, and how each image works for the intended use.

Family and children sessions

Family and children portraits are often the most requested sessions for local clients, because they capture people as they are right now. A calm setting can make a big difference for younger children and busy households. We keep the process simple and use direction that helps children stay engaged without making the session feel stiff.

For family photography, we can include group portraits, smaller combinations, and individual images so the final gallery has variety. For children photography, the session can focus on personality, simple expression, and natural connection. If you are planning a portrait for a milestone, birthday season, or annual update, a focused session can provide a strong set of images without unnecessary complexity.

Popular portrait goals

• Annual family portraits
