I love being a family photographer — capturing the little in-between moments as much as the classic everyone-look-here shots. These are outdoor, golden-hour sessions at some of the prettiest spots around Mountain Home, where the light is soft and warm and everyone can just relax and be together. My goal is real, true-to-color photos you'll treasure. Here are some of my favorites from over the years — and when you're ready, you can book yours online in just a few minutes.
Book a SessionFamily sessions with me are outdoor, golden-hour sessions built to feel easy — about an hour, no stiff posing, and plenty of room for the littles to warm up, run around, and just be themselves. I guide you the whole way, so all you have to do is show up and be together. These are made for immediate families and small groups of about six or fewer; if you're gathering a bigger, multi-generational crew — grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins — my Extended Family & Reunion sessions are built for that instead. However your kids are feeling that day, we'll roll with it, and you'll walk away with warm, true-to-color family photos you'll treasure for years.
Whether it's your household of two or a house full of kids, I'd love to capture your family just as they are — outside at golden hour, relaxed, real, and true to color. Most family sessions book right online in a few minutes — pick your date and let's have some fun.

Family sessions with Michele McCoy Photography are $275. That includes a relaxed one-hour outdoor session and your full gallery of professionally edited images in a private online gallery to download, share, and keep — no image limits, no upsells. Current pricing and any specials are always on the booking page.
Family sessions are built for immediate families and small groups — about six people or fewer. If you're bringing a larger, multi-generational group (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins), Michele's Extended Family & Reunion sessions are sized and priced for the whole crew — book one of those instead.
Family sessions are photographed outdoors at a beautiful spot around Mountain Home, Arkansas, chosen by Michele for the best light and comfort. You don't need to pick a location — she'll choose one and share the details before your session. She serves Mountain Home and the surrounding North Central Arkansas towns like Gassville, Cotter, Flippin, and Bull Shoals.
Outdoor family sessions are timed around golden hour — that soft, warm light near the end of the day — because it's when everyone looks their best and the photos feel their warmest. Michele will confirm your exact start time along with the location.
About one hour — enough time for the group shots plus the relaxed, in-between moments, with room for little ones to warm up. No rushing, no stiff posing.
Coordinating (not matching) soft, neutral tones photograph beautifully and keep the focus on your family. Pick outfits everyone feels comfortable in — comfortable always photographs best. Michele's happy to help with ideas once you book.
Totally normal — and totally okay. Michele guides the whole session and leaves room for breaks, snacks, and warm-up time. Some of the best shots come from the candid, imperfect moments, so there's no pressure for everyone to be "perfect."
Your fully edited gallery is delivered through a private online gallery in about three to four weeks, ready to download, share, and print.
Just click Book a Session, pick your date, and you're set. A 50% retainer holds your date, with the balance due 7 days before. Most families book in just a few minutes.
