Editorial-Styled Family Photography Blok Studio Phoenix Arizona

I love when sessions go beyond the expected and truly capture the essence of the people. Recently, one of my amazing assistants Trianna, booked a family session for her mom as a gift! They ended up booking one of our extended packages -so we would have the time to take a unique editorial approach!

A Unique Approach to Family Photography

This session wasn’t just about traditional family portraits. Yes, we captured classic posed images, but we also took the opportunity to make it more personal. We did this by incorporating individual mini sessions for each family member & couples. This allowed everyone to showcase their own personality, interests, and style in a way that felt natural and editorial, rather than overly staged or cheesy.

To bring out their uniqueness, they even brought props that represented who they are, and we found creative ways to incorporate them into the shoot. The result? A modern, editorial-inspired take on family photography that felt artistic, yet timeless.

The Perfect Studio for Creative Portraits: BLOK Studio in Phoenix

We shot this session at BLOK Studio in Downtown Phoenix, and it was the perfect location for a modern, polished look. The studio’s minimalist walls, gorgeous natural light, and sleek, contemporary feel made it easy to capture both traditional and editorial-style portraits in one session.

For families looking for something beyond outdoor locations, a studio session at BLOK offers:

• Lighting Variety – Large windows for natural light, or block them off with VFlats and use a flash, no weather worries either! Which made it just perfect for our needs!
• Clean, Modern Backdrop & Furniture – A neutral and artistic setting keeps the focus on the people in the portraits – they offer lots of furniture options on set for no extra fees too!

If you’re searching for a Phoenix family photographer – pick meeeee. haha. And if you love the idea of a studio session that blends classic and creative photography, BLOK Studio is a fantastic option! we have lots of other studios we love with other options & vibes too. We go over location in our included pre-planning consults!

Capturing Personality Through Editorial Vibes

One of the best parts of this session was the opportunity to go beyond just smiling at the camera. Each person had a moment to shine individually, bringing elements that represented their passions and personality. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we created images that felt dynamic, expressive, and true to who they are.

The studio setting allowed us to experiment with modern compositions, creative lighting, and unique posing, resulting in a stylish, editorial-inspired family session that still felt warm and personal.

Why Personalized Family Sessions Matter

Family photography doesn’t have to be stiff or overly posed. It can be fun, creative, and tailored to highlight the individuals who make up the family. This session was a perfect example of how we can blend traditional and modern styles to create something meaningful and unique.

I loved every second of this family studio session, and I hope more families embrace the idea that portraits can be creative, personal, and still timeless. So, If you’re looking for a studio family session in Phoenix, let’s make it happen! Reach out to book your session today!
