Family Sessions
with EEW Photography
A Note on Privacy: I completely understand the legal and safety requirements of foster care. If your child(ren) cannot be on social media, your gallery stays 100% private- just make sure I know in advance and we will be sure it's in the contract. Your family’s safety and comfort are always my top priority.
As a previous foster momma and a photographer, I know that "perfect" isn't the goal- connection is. I’m here to help you document the real, messy, and beautiful "lifebook" moments that your little nugget will carry with them forever. Whether you're looking to celebrate your adoption, document some big milestones to add to your foster child's life book, or maybe you just want to document this stage in your life with some fun professional photos; let me tell you- I. Am. Here. For. You.
Photographs are incredibly important to children, especially to the kiddos in foster care who struggle to keep track of their life story and placement history. The memories that you choose to photograph may be the only images they have of their time with you- if that is true and helps them fill in the blanks of their time in care, these images become even more important.. These pictures can help children put together connections from their past, present, and future as they grow up. I truly believe that documenting their lives matters so much.
Pay what you can: Mini Sessions
"Pay what you can" means what it sounds like; every family deserves to have their story documented, especially those with foster kiddos. My annual "Pay What You Can" day is designed to lessen the financial burden for foster and adoptive families to get their portrait taking. I want to be sure that every child has the history of the love they’ve received documented, especially those in foster care.
I don't charge any set amount for these mini sessions. As my client, you can pay me any amount you're comfortable for these mini sessions. If you can't afford to pay at all, that's ok too. I know firsthand just how much of our own money we end up spending on the kids staying with us. But, hey- this is why I want to make sure that all families raising children in this world have some affordable opportunities to take professional photos to document their time together.
When and where are the mini sessions?
The next adoption/foster pay-what-you-can mini sessions will be offered during April of 2026. The exact date and rain date will be shared soon! Follow along on @eewphotography (Instagram) or EEW Photography (facebook). Typically, these sessions take place in central Rhode Island.
What is a mini session?
A mini session is a brief/short photo session that lasts about 10-20min. The session may be quick, but we can pack so much fun into that short time span- trust me.
These sessions are on a set day (with a set rain date you agree to upon booking) and the sessions are scheduled back to back. If the sessions fill up, I always have a second photographer on call to take on more clients. We are so excited to do this every year :)
If you have any other questions about how this all works, please feel free to contact me any time at all. You can find me on Instagram @eewphotography OR email me directly at photoby.e.e.w@gmail.com .
