As I continue to reflect and grow in my business, my offerings evolve to better serve the families I work with. At the heart of Elle May Photography has always been one simple mission: to celebrate what makes your family unique and to tell the story of the season you are living right now.


For many families, home is the perfect place to document their story. But I know that home isn’t the only place where memories are made. Some of your most meaningful moments happen out in the world—on a favorite hiking trail, at the ball field, splashing in a creek, or gathered around a campfire on a weekend away.


That’s why I’m introducing Family Adventure Sessions—a new way to capture your family in the places you truly love.

What is a Family Adventure Session?


Instead of posed portraits in a picture-perfect field, these sessions are about movement, connection, and real-life joy. We’ll document your family doing something you genuinely love—whether that’s hiking, fishing, playing at the park, or cheering on your kids at their favorite sport.


Take the McGlothin Family, for example. Most of their weekends are spent traveling in their RV, setting up camp, and watching their two boys play baseball at tournaments. For them, this isn’t just a season—it’s their way of life, and they wanted to remember it through photos. Their Family Adventure Session captured the heart of those moments: the excitement of the game and the quiet, in-between moments that make it all worthwhile.

Is a Family Adventure Session Right for You?


This type of session is perfect for families:


  • Who love to spend time outdoors
  • With older children whose activities happen outside the home
  • Who want their photos to be meaningful and personal

Why Choose an Adventure Over Traditional Portraits?


While classic outdoor sessions have their place, I believe that the most authentic family photos come from being in a place that feels like home—whether that’s a hiking trail, a baseball field, or the lake where you spend summer afternoons. Just like kids feel most comfortable at home, being in a familiar, beloved location allows everyone to relax, have fun, and truly be themselves.

Ready to Make Memories?


Does this sound like the kind of session your family would love? Maybe you’re looking for something different from the typical posed fall photos. Maybe you want your photo session to be more than just taking pictures—you want it to be an experience. Maybe you’re simply looking for a way to bottle up this season of your family’s life before it changes again.
