"I hired Liza for my engagement pictures. It was a surprise for my fiancé and it was a pretty complex plan. Liza was completely in on the plan and helped with coordinating the surprise.
We got fantastic pictures out of it and it was the perfect surprise. Hire Liza and you’ll get a committed and competent photographer for whatever your needs are!"

"Liza Hondros embodies the three "Ps" I wanted for our family shoot: prompt, personal, and patient!!!
Liza truly captured a beautiful milestone in our family. My daughter received her First Holy Communion in May of 2023. Liza captured so many moments of joy: of our daughter before and during our traditional mass service, of my mother's pride, and even the "excitement" of three little brothers!! I look forward to her capturing more moments of my family!!"

"Working with Liza was such a treat! She is professional, proficient and gets the job done quickly! Our photos were AMAZING and she captured all that we intended to and more! We have experienced both professional and personal sessions and they were beyond! Thank you, Liza!"
A: Clothing should feel comfortable, coordinated, and reflective of your family’s personality. Neutral tones, soft colors, and simple patterns tend to photograph beautifully. Avoid large logos or busy prints that can distract from the people in the photo. Before your session, you will receive simple wardrobe guidance to help you plan outfits that photograph well together.
Q: What should we wear for a family photography session?
A: It is best to schedule family and senior sessions two to four weeks in advance, especially during popular seasons like spring and fall. Senior sessions during the school year may book earlier as graduation approaches.
Q:How far in advance should we book a family or senior photography session?
A: Most family and senior sessions last 45 minutes to one hour. This allows time to capture a variety of natural moments, different groupings, and individual portraits without the session feeling rushed.
Q: How long does a family or senior photography session take?
A: The most flattering light for outdoor photography typically occurs shortly before sunset, often called golden hour. During this time the light is soft, warm, and even, which helps create natural-looking portraits with beautiful tones and minimal harsh shadows.
Q:When is the best time of day for family photos?
A: Final photo galleries are typically delivered within one to two weeks. This allows time for careful selection, editing, and preparing the images so they look their best.
Q: How long does it take to receive our family or senior photo gallery?
A: This is completely normal and nothing to worry about. Children often warm up once they begin exploring the location and interacting naturally with their family. The session is designed to be relaxed and flexible so genuine moments can unfold naturally rather than forcing stiff poses.
Q: What if my children do not cooperate during the session?
A: Fayetteville offers many beautiful locations for outdoor photography. Popular options include Cape Fear Botanical Garden, local parks, wooded trails, and open fields with soft evening light. Location suggestions are always provided to help match the look and feel you want for your photos.
Q: What locations do you recommend for family and senior photos in Fayetteville?
A:Each session includes a carefully curated gallery of professionally edited images that capture the best moments from the session. The exact number of photos may vary depending on the session, but the goal is always to provide a strong collection of images that tell the story of your family or senior milestone.
Q: How many photos will we receive from our family or senior session?
A: If weather conditions are not suitable for photography, the session can simply be rescheduled for another available date. The goal is always to photograph your family in the best possible conditions so the final images look their best.
Q: What happens if it rains on the day of our session?
A: Yes. Many families choose to include parents and siblings in a few photos during senior sessions. This is a wonderful way to capture the milestone not only for the senior but for the entire family.
Q: Can parents and siblings join senior portrait sessions?
A:Yes. Extended family sessions can be scheduled to capture multiple generations together. These sessions are typically planned in advance to ensure enough time is available for group photos as well as smaller family groupings.
Q: Do you photograph extended family sessions?
