THE PROCESS
Step 1: Book Your Date!
Reach out to me with this form and we will schedule a session date. Secure your date by signing your contract and paying a non-refundable $300 session fee. The session fee covers my time and talent in preparing for and in documenting the session. The session fee does not include digital images (see collection pricing below).

Step 2: Plan The Details!
Let's brainstorm ALL the family photo details! You will receive a client guide with tips on styling, locations and how to prepare for your session. You will fill out a detailed questionnaire to help me learn more about you and your dream shots.

Step 3: Have A Great Session!
Let's play, cuddle and laugh together in a gorgeous location for 60 minutes. We will take a mix of candid and posed, group and individual photos. After I carefully edit each photo, your family photos will be delivered to your inbox within 2 weeks of the session.

Step 4: Pick Your Collection!
When your family photos are ready, you will watch a video slideshow of all your photos. Then, you will have 48 hours to choose and purchase your collection. Collections range from $500-$700 and include a certain number of digital files and print credit.

FAQ'S
Are we a good fit?
I am a Bellevue family photographer who works well with clients that are laid back, fun and trust me with the flow of their session. They don't care as much about getting the perfectly posed shot of everyone smiling at the camera. They focus instead on giving lots of snuggles and being silly. I will try my best to get the posed shots but I also hope to give you some nice memories.
How do we pick a location?
I have a list of locations on the Eastside and Seattle that I like to use. I prefer to shoot anywhere from 3 hours to right before sunset, depending on the location.
What should I expect?
As your Bellevue family photographer, will start off with posed family photos. I'll get your kiddos to smile through a mix of games, songs and tickles. We will then move towards sibling shots, individual shots, couple shots and candids. I will deliver your digital photos via online gallery within 2 weeks.
How do I book a session?
When you reach out to me through this website or email me at linglingzhengphotography@gmail.com, we will chat to see if I am a good fit for your family. I will send you a contract and process payment. Once those things are done, we will set a date! You'll answer a questionnaire and receive a detailed client guide.
Why should we take family photos?
I've been in your shoes. I know the effort involved in preparing for a family session. Will my kids behave? What should we wear and where should we go? I don't look like a magazine model and my phone has tons of selfies with my family. Isn't that enough? I'm here to tell you that after getting my family photos done this year, I've printed them out, hung them up and smile every time I see them. Artistic, joyfully captured photos of ME with my loved ones is something I value over most of my possessions. Yes, it takes time and effort, but I've created guides to help you feel relaxed and prepared for your Bellevue family photography session.
What if it rains?
On the day of your session, keep family activities to a minimum. My goal is to keep your session on the specified date because I know you're busy! The weather is more volatile in the spring and fall so we may move your session up by a few hours, when there is a period of dry weather. I will be in touch with you by email closer to the session and on the day of, be in touch by text message. I appreciate your flexibility and understanding.
What should I wear?
The most important thing is to choose clothing that matches your family’s style and especially for kids, pick something they will be happy and comfortable in. I will send you a style guide. Avoid matching, big logos, neon colors or characters as it can be distracting. Mom should pick first and then build the wardrobe around hers.
What if I don't need my print credit?
You don't have to use the print credit but it is built into the cost of the collection. I can't give you a discount if you don't use your print credit.
