Family photos can be stressful...
It's no secret that planning family photos can be mildly (or massively!) stress-inducing. From getting your partner/children on board with the whole idea, to deciding where to take your photos; from deciding when is the best time for family photos to picking outfits that everyone will wear without complaining ... not to mention finding the right photographer to photograph your family in the first place! But, like any other important life task, the more you pull off a successful family photo shoot, the easier it gets. That's the idea behind my Annual Pass Membership.
But an Annual Pass Membership is easy and fun!
An Annual Pass Membership with Katie Jett Walls Photography is the solution to your photo session planning challenges. An Annual Pass is like the subscription box of custom family photo experiences. Imagine having your photographer "on retainer" to capture not only terrific portraits but also the special moments that arise throughout the year - and even the everyday moments that define your family's unique and beautiful life. Annual Pass sessions can capture:
Birthdays / birthday parties
First day of school
Summer pool time or playground visits
Family hikes
Visits from Grandparents
A new pet's first few days at home or an old pet's final day

Here's how the Annual pass works:
The Annual Pass Membership is a 12-month (renewable) plan for Washington DC area families who really love photography, and want a low-key ongoing relationship with a family-oriented photographer for whatever comes along.
The greatest benefit of the Annual Pass is one you might not suspect until you see it in action. Having more frequent, low-stakes photo sessions helps everyone feel more comfortable, which leads to better photos. This can be especially ideal for photographing shy kids, or for getting amazing photos of children on the autism spectrum. And honestly, if you or your spouse feels resistant to photos, an Annual Pass might be the cure: because you know you've got several sessions ahead, each one feels less stressful! The more trust we build from working together, the more relaxed you and your kids will feel every time we get together. Most kids whose families have an Annual Pass think that their photo session is a play date with Katie. And that's when some real magic starts to happen!
You initiate your Annual Pass with a membership fee of $799. Once you're a member, the following benefits are yoursfor the next 12 months:
Annual pass members receive all digital files from their session in an online gallery, print-ready, and available for download. Your sessions stay organised and archived/accessible for the life of your pass.

“Having an annual pass with Katie helped us overcome camera-shyness with my young kids. Half-way through our first year, the kids thought Katie was their own personal playdate and every photo session got easier the more time they spent with her. Our photos from this past year really show who we are as a family. We plan to renew our Annual Pass and keep the pictures coming. ”
