How booking works

Most clients go from first message to booked date in under a week.

  1. Pick your service

    Answer a few questions about your date, venue and must-have moments.

  2. See your estimate

    Your price builds as you choose a package and add-ons. No waiting for a callback.

  3. Short call, only if needed

    Derick already has your details, so the call is 15 minutes, not an hour.

  4. Reserve with a deposit

    Sign and pay online. Your date is locked and your prep guide arrives by email.

Portrait of Derick Robinson

Meet Derick

I named the business Family First because that's how I shoot. The photos families keep longest are the grandmother laughing at the head table, the first dance, the cousins lined up in matching reunion shirts.

I work quietly, keep your timeline moving and make sure nobody important is missing from the group shot. Every client gets a private online gallery to download, share and order prints.

[Add Derick's years of experience, training and notable clients here once confirmed.]
