When you book a session with Pamela Salai Photography, you are choosing imagination. You are choosing magic. You are choosing extraordinary. Each of my sessions are truly unique. Whether you’re booking a child or family session, together, we will dream up a special theme or unique concept for your session that distinctively tells your child or family’ story. 

WAIT…You are thinking – this sounds great. “I am not really into over the top.” Even if you do not want a concept with “props” per-say. I still bring the magic of your story to life. Real moments are just as whimsical and beautiful when captured at the right time and place and do not necessarily need props. Visit my family tab for a handful of examples of what I have to offer. 

I have been doing this for over 11 years and my most of my families have been with me every step of the way. Sometimes I get to see them every year for a full session or one of my fun holiday mini sessions, sometimes every other for updates for your walls. I even get to see your babies grow into seniors in high school ( ugh… tug at the mama heart strings – do your feel that ?)  Whatever it is I seem to become your forever photorgrapher and that is what I want to be. I want you to trust me for years to come to capture your families story. 

Storytelling is at the heart of all my images. I believe childhood is meant to be indulged, that family portraits don’t need to be traditional, and that it’s perfectly acceptable to have an elegant settee in the middle of a forest. Most of all, I want your session to be truly YOU.

Let’s capture some memories for you to cherish forever.
