Glen Lake Family Portrait Proposal
July 21, 2025
Mae Stier Photography
Family sessions offer the gift of presence, creating an opportunity for connection with each other.
I’ve designed two custom collections for your consideration. Both provide the same coverage, with one including printed albums for each family—a timeless way to display your favorite images.
On the day of the session, I will visit each family at their cottages to capture a blend of portraits and candid moments. We’ll conclude at the family home, creating portraits of the full group, grandparents with grandchildren, and any other combinations you wish, documenting all the unscripted moments of magic that emerge along the way.
“LITERALLY OBSESSED!! I could cry, Mae. These are just perfect.”
-Hannah, mom of two
EXTENDED FAMILY PORTRAITS
Both collections offer the same amount of coverage; the difference lies in the tangible deliverables included in “The Heirloom Collection.” I have included custom-designed albums for each family unit, each which will be designed separately to highlight each immediate family, while also including photos of the full group. Please let me know if you’d like to consider a collection that includes fewer albums, if not everyone is interested; these can be further customized.
The Glen Lake Collection

up to 3 hours of coverage, 4 separate locations

The Heirloom Collection
$6500
up to 3 hours of coverage, 4 separate locations

custom-designed, 60-page, 9x12” hardcover books for each family, displaying a selection of their immediate family portraits and extended family portraits (5 books in total)
“Her work is so good and also so real, and it’s those photos of us just being ourselves that I treasure the most. We have three young children, and she was understanding, patient, and approachable working with us and specifically with them. It’s clear she knows how to work with children and help them take the time they need to feel at ease, which has not always been our experience with other photographers. If you are on the fence or just want amazing pictures you will treasure, please book a session with Mae!”
ALBUMS & PRINTS
Make a plan to display your family photos after your session. From fine-art albums to coffee table books and prints, the options are endless for how best to preserve your images for generations to come. I’ve included five albums (one for each family unit) in “The Heirloom Collection,” but albums are available a la carte as well, if not every family is interested in one.
Album Pricing
Hardcover Book with 30 spreads (60 pages) $900
Keepsake Album Box $400
Let’s book your session!
When you’re ready to move forward, a signed contract and retainer fee of 50% of the total session fee is due to book your date, July 21, 2025 from 4-7pm. The rest of the fee is due the day of your session. The contract and all session fees can be taken care of online.
Once your session date is reserved, I am happy to help guide planning for the session, if necessary. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I cannot wait to document this season of life for your family.
Cheers,
Mae Stier
