PRECIOUS ARTWORK FOR YOUR HOME
Have family portraits become a hassle?
You are not alone! Many people struggle to get everyone together or find the time for portraits when they are at home. That ‘must do’ activity becomes a chore that slides further and further down your to-do list. Then, before you know it, the kids are off to college and the most recent portraits on your wall are from when they were in preschool.
There’s no better time for portraits than on your vacation!
Let’s make this easy:
Real moments
Besides providing a stunning location, your portraits at Southern Cross Guest Ranch will mean more to you than any other - Why? because they are actual memories; real memories of the valuable time you spent together, genuine laughter and smiles, authentic connections with each other, animals and nature. Not a bunch of photos taken at some random city park you have never been to before!
Help with planning
No more blackmailing uncooperative kids, sulky teenagers or grumpy dads to smile for the camera. All of our sessions are designed to be as fun and relaxed as the vacation itself. Throughout the process, you will have all of the assistance you need! Right from the location and styling to the design of your wall art, albums and holiday cards... so all you have to do is show up and have fun! We can even take care of hair, nails, makeup and wardrobe!
Ready to hang art
Not only do we take care of all of the planning prior to the session but we also help you to decide what to do with the gorgeous images we have created. A week or so after your session, you will get to view your portraits and select which ones you would like to purchase. Leaving us to create your new one of a kind artwork using our trusted, hand selected vendors and deliver it right to your door!

Yes, portrait sessions do have a session fee ($690 for Ranch Family Sessions and $1290 for Ranch Horse Sessions).
The session fee includes assistance with styling and planning, photographer’s time photographing the session, and also an art credit that you will get back to use towards purchasing your favorite portraits.
How much you invest in your artwork is entirely up to you and completely depends on how you prefer to enjoy your portraits. Wall Art, Albums, Portrait and Collections are available to purchase but are not included.
Sessions usually book up quickly, especially in the Spring and Fall so if you wait until check-in, it’s unlikely that you will be successful in getting on Charlotte’s limited schedule! Charlotte only serves a handful of clients each month, giving each one the attention and time needed to deliver an exceptional service and quality artwork. In order to get the most out of the portrait experience we recommend that you contact Charlotte as soon as you have decided that you are coming to the ranch (even if you have not yet made your reservation!). If your booking is last minute, contact her ASAP to see what she can do for you!
