WELCOME FRIEND!


I’m so happy you’re here and I can’t wait to share everything about this new way of getting family photos.

The photo-fetti club helps you celebrate your life by preserving the love you have for each other and by acknowledging this crazy parenting ride you're on.


It is a yearly subscription
to make sure your family photos (and not-so-curated moments)
are taken care of every year.

You will get visual proofs it actually happened and that you were there.

(without FOMO)

 DO YOU EVER IMAGINE YOURSELF IN A FEW YEARS FROM NOW AND HAVE THE CERTAINTY THAT YOU WILL MISS YOUR CURRENT LIFE?

There is a word for it: ANTICIPATORY NOSTALGIA. You feel a sense of nostalgia for something that is currently happening (or not even!).

You realize that while you breast/ bottle-feed your baby, put band-aids on so they feel better, help tie shoes, plan the parties/ travels/ playdates… there might come a day when you won’t be needed as much (or in a different way).

The present moment is a memory in the future that you’d like to go back to.

(+ they’ll never be that little, you’ll never be that young!)

 
 

 “I love that I have physical photos to look back through with my kids

so they see (without a screen) what they used to do and how we

used to play and interact as a family”

—Meredith, member since Jan 2022

AFFORDABILITY


the club is the most affordable way to work with me. You also split the cost into 12 smaller monthly-payments which makes it easy to budget.

+

you get reminders to book your session too because sometimes #lifehappens

.3.

Every year, you receive a consistent collection of all the images, building a visual diary of your family (with you in it).

the photos get better and better due to growing confidence and trust.


What you receive


 

Each year, family members receive:

A full-length family session

All the digital files

Priority to Spring and Fall calendars (keep in mind I usually go to France in July and August and I’m not available —unless you go to Europe, and then we should talk!!!)

$250 print credit to be used in the online gallery store on any product I offer (prints, frames, albums, etc.)

 
 
 

Other perks include:

  • Automatic monthly payments spread out over 12 months.

  • Priority access to my calendar and everything I offer (mini sessions, school photos, headshots…).

  • 30% off fine art school photos in September. They are held in my driveway in Hyattsville, MD.

  • Possibility to schedule petite sessions throughout the year and at the location of your choice (unlike mini sessions where I choose the date and place).

  • VIP treatment and surprises throughout the year!

 




 “I love the photos Juliette took where the babies are crying,

or we're mid-change. They feel so real (and remind me that

infants were so hard and we still made it!).”

—ADD-on

1) You can add anything to your monthly membership now by choosing an option below and split the payment in 12.

or,

2) Book when you want during the year but you’ll need to pay for the extra item all at once. A petite session cannot be booked during the high season (October).

— AN ADDITIONAL FAMILY SESSION

+$83/ month during membership week (=$996)

You already know you would like to add a full family session to celebrate a birthday, or you have family visiting, or you want 2 different seasons (Spring and Fall)? Add on a second full session for 2025! It includes all digital files and must be used in 2025. No more than 10 persons.

The price is $1,050 when booked outside of membership week.

*NEW*
A Session With Svitlana!

+$70/ month (=$840)

My Associate Photographer is also available to take your photos! She can do maternity, newborn, family and small events (price may vary).

(Add +$60 outside of membership week.)

— A PETITE SESSION

+$45/ month during membership week (=$540)

One-off petite sessions are exclusive to members. It is like a mini-session except you can schedule it where you want, when you want (except in October). Let’s say you would like a nursing session with your newborn, or your partner and yourself need headshots, or the grandparents come to visit… you use a petite session.
20 minutes of shooting time and you receive around 20 files.
The price is $580 when booked outside of membership week.

— A HARDCOVER BOOK

+$35/ month during membership week (=$420)

In addition to any book already included in membership 2 and 3, you can add on another 8×10 photo-book at a discounted price. It is a layflat 20-page book that you can offer to grandparents, plan to give to each of your kids or use as an archive. For Collections 2 or 3, you will receive 2 identical books.

The price is $450 when booked outside of membership week.

— A HALF DAY DOCUMENTARY SESSION

+$100/month during membership week (=$1,200)

This is an offer for my members only! A documentary session is 4-hour long and is 100% unscripted. I am here to capture it all, the ups and downs of your family life. Maybe it’s a nearby adventure with the family (a farmers market, pumpkin patch, trip to the beach, your holiday traditions…) or an afternoon in the pool. It’s up to you! If you need more than the already included 90 min, switch to a documentary session and get all the digital files. This would be added to your monthly membership fee.

The price is $1,300 when booked outside of membership week.

 

 
 

NOTE: The most affordable option is to add what you want NOW rather than later (there’s a little extra cost when you add later).
To be transparent, it’s more manageable for my calendar and finances when you add things now rather than later in the year. It helps me plan my year regarding the number of sessions (full or minis), the books I will design, the investments I can make…

That being said, life likes to throw new things at you and I’m happy to schedule sessions as they may come.

FAQ

 
  • Joining the club is when you stop worrying about your family photos again. The main perks are that you save money, you receive ALL the high-res digital files, and you have priority access to everything I offer + my calendar. This, no matter what tier you choose.

    Another subtle perk is that you don’t have to do the heavy-lifting (generally in the middle of the busy fall season) to remember to book a session, find a photographer, email to schedule a date…. and simply let another year (or 5) slip by without photos because it just fell off your to-do list. We take care early in the season and your payments are spread out over 12 months.

  • The photo-fetti Club is for returning clients only. We’ve worked together and this means you already know my style (and my funny accent). The club is meant for all kinds of families: single parents or parents with 3 kids and 4-legged companions, expecting families, or with a newborn.

    JFP is a safe and welcoming space for every gender, sexual orientation, religion, race, culture, age and size.

  • If you are on this page, it means you have already worked at least once with me. The families I photograph are caught in their everyday life as parents while nursing babies, bathing, playing legos, setting limits, fixing boo-boos…

    I am looking to capture meaningful photos of you where we’ll witness the whole gamut of emotions that make life (and not act-for-the-camera images).

    Sessions are “activity-based” but an activity does not need to be extravagant and will usually happen at your house or local vacation spot. This is what we call a documentary approach. No stiff but relaxed portraits.

  • This is membership week! This is your chance to grab a spot right here, on my website, by entering your email. Once you’ve signed the agreement and purchased the membership (payed the 1st month), you will have access to the dashboard with all the information you need to get ready for a year and book your Spring or Fall session.

  • Mini-sessions are open to all clients once or twice a year (in the Fall and sometimes in the Spring). They are short + sweet sessions (20 min), back-to-back, on a fixed day and located in DC. They come with 20 photos.

    Each year they are sold out and selling out faster and faster. I want to make sure that you can grab a spot if you would like to. As members of the Photo-fetti Club you have priority access over the general public. All remaining slots are then released publicly.

  • One-off petite sessions are exclusive to members and you can book as many one-off sessions as you want throughout the year. They will all depend on my availability though so it's better to reach out as soon as you can. Let’s say you would like a nursing session with your newborn, or your partner + yourself need headshots, or the grand-parents come to visit… you use a petite session.

    It is like a mini-session except you can schedule it where you want, and when you want (except October). If you want to purchase one during the year, you will pay the total price all at once.

    I don’t offer them to the general public but they are an option for all members. They last 30 minutes and you receive around 20 files for $45/month.

  • Unfortunately no. You’ll need to wait until I reopen the Photo-fetti club again next year as I would like all members to start and finish at the same time. You can still book a session with me at any time during the year at full cost.

  • You are committed to pay for a full year but when the year is over, you’ll be asked whether you would like to renew, change, or terminate prior to the new membership enrollment period. There is no commitment beyond the year and there is no surprise renewal. If you wish to up/ downgrade to another club, you can certainly do so (pricing might change from one year to another).

  • Yep! Once you sign up and make that initial payment, you can book your session immediately (you’ll get the link for the spring calendar). Further, you will receive your gallery on my normal schedule (typically 2-3 weeks after the session), and will be able to download your files and use your print credit as soon as you have access to the gallery. TRUST and HONESTY are 2 important values in my business and it goes both ways :-)

  • No, I’m sorry. I want to make sure that the families that are in the club know my style and the way I work. The Photo-fetti club is exclusively for clients I’ve worked with in the past. It’s a VIP club after all…

  • Absolutely. You can include grand-parents in your regular family session or book a one-off session with, for example, just the grand-parents and your kid(s).

  • I offer a lot of really lovely and eco-friendly items in my online store, and the print credit can be used toward any of them. Matte prints are a perennial favorite, as are albums. $250 more than covers an 8x12” bamboo print, an 11x14” vintage board print, or an 8x10” walnut frame. There are other options, but those should give you a sense!

  • My business is a visual one and finding new clients relies on my ability to share images. I use them mainly on my website, newsletter, social media, for magazine submissions, to enter contests or for portfolio reviews. There are 3 levels of privacy you can choose from when you sign the Model Release.

 

If you’ve still got questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!
I understand that this is a new concept, and am here to clarify anything that you’re unsure of!
