Why select Daphne Blount - The Focused Lens Portraits?

The best family portraits don't feel stiff or forced — they feel real, like your family caught in an ordinary, perfect moment. A great portrait artist will design your session around your home, your style, and your story, not just tell you where to stand and smile. At The Focused Lens, that's what we believe in: we don't just take your picture, we see you. And what we create together becomes artwork your family will treasure for generations.

YOU ASK.  WE ANSWER

What is included in a family portrait session?

Each family sessions is 60 minutes long. Some families select multiple sessions to document their life at their favorite outdoor location, their own beautiful property or studio option. Before the session, we offer a complimentary design consult. We also offer outfit selections and guidance, based on your location and time of the season.

How should we prepare for our session?

Plan your outfits early. Try on everything and have your outfits purchased at least 2–3 weeks ahead of time. Give yourself plenty of time to make changes if something just doesn’t feel right.

Haircuts? About a week before. This gives your hair time to settle in and still look fresh.

Iron or steam your clothes the day before. One less thing to worry about when you're getting ready.

Don’t schedule anything else right before your session. Give yourself a little breathing room. Come relaxed, have fun, and let us take it from there. We’ll guide you through posing and direction every step of the way.

A Few “Don’t Do These” Tips

NO TANNING. Skip tanning beds, self-tanners, spray tans, and tanning products for at least one week before your session. Trust us on this one.

NO TATTOOS, PIERCINGS, OR BODY MODIFICATIONS for at least two weeks before your session. Give your skin plenty of time to heal and settle down.

Most importantly, don’t stress. You don’t have to know how to pose, what to do with your hands, or how to look natural in front of the camera. That’s my job.

What should we wear?

We recommend coordinating colors, but not matching colors.

Solids or very small print are great. Patterns & stripes are not recommended. Just ask us and we can provide detailed guidance.

Go glam or choose your everyday look.

HMUA recs available on request.

Where are family portraits taken?

Anywhere actually. Some families love the outdoors in the fall and have portraits taken then. Others want elegant, stately portraits taken in their home. Some want to elevate it even further and choose Black Label portraits in our studio.


Each session is completely designed around you and your family.

How long does a session last?

All sessions are 60 minutes.

When is the best time to schedule a session?

We photograph sessions all year round! Of course, here in Louisiana, May through September can make outdoor sessions a little… sweaty. If you'd rather stay cool, our private studio is always an option.

And because we don't rely on natural light alone, we aren't limited by the clock.

So whether you’re dreaming of an outdoor session, a studio experience, or something completely your own, there’s really no bad time to tell your story.
