Family Portraits
By Linda Drayton Photography

Capture today for tomorrow! Families are special at Linda Drayton Photography, so why not schedule a session and have your family portrait taken! And what family is complete without their pet? Pets are always welcome at Linda Drayton Photography. Big or small, we love them all!!

Many people have told us they regret not having more family portraits taken. It's no secret we live busy lives and before we know it our babies are all grown up. Children change before our eyes, especially when they're young. Babies will change more during the first year of life than any other time. These precious moments won't last forever. The special bond between mother, father, and child is like no other. These special moments bring warmth, sincerity, and patience. So, as soon as you and your baby are settled in at home, it's time to schedule your child's first studio appointment. While today is still here, capture the memories and the spirit of childhood with a professional portrait. The images taken today will be priceless tomorrow. Yesterday can never be replaced.

Our photo sessions are by appointment only. We allow sufficient time for everyone to feel comfortable and have fun. This extra time is reflected in the final portrait. We love to capture the true spirit of those precious moments that will become frozen in time forever.

We create togetherness... Raising a family is hard work, and one of the best rewards is having everyone home. While everyone is together take the opportunity to capture and preserve your family legacy. Create a bond that makes your family stand still in time with a beautiful portrait.

No two families are the same. That's why your family's portrait will be a unique expression of love that will be cherished year after year.  Our studio is the place for portraits that capture your families personality and affection. Your portraits can be created in or outside of the studio or on location. Outdoor settings offer some of the most beautiful and visually exciting environments to capture family warmth and special bonds. We seek to utilize the beauty that Northern Michigan provides. Here at our studio we have a beautiful garden setting with natural woods, ponds, streams, flowers, beach scenes, climbing rocks, or we may go to a nearby lake.

Couples: Newly engaged? Married for 25 years? Have a portrait taken for just the two of you! Let us create the moments that will last a lifetime.

Children: They don't stay kids forever! Let us help capture those special moments for YOU! At Linda Drayton Photography we focus on our subject as an individual. We work diligently on smiles, clothing, and personality.  We use natural props and backgrounds and our beautiful portrait garden offers many different settings. Some families prefer traditional portraits, however outside portraits have become a favorite as well!!

Group photos: We know how hard it is to get the family together. So, while you're all together and they're still at home, take the time to make a memory that lasts forever.
