In The Box
“In the Box” photo sessions are a fun and creative way to capture personality-packed portraits with a unique twist. Using a specially designed white box setup, individuals, siblings, families, or teams can pose, play, and interact in imaginative ways—resulting in a collage of expressive, eye-catching images. These sessions are perfect for showcasing different sides of your personality or telling a story through a series of playful, stylized shots. Whether you're looking for something quirky, themed, or just different from the traditional portrait, “In the Box” sessions offer a one-of-a-kind experience that’s as memorable as the final product.
MacSnaps Photography is proud to be the only photographer in the Ohio Valley offering custom “In the Box” photo sessions—a fun, creative, and one-of-a-kind experience you won’t find anywhere else in the area.
"In the Box sessions take portrait photography to a whole new level—where imagination, personality, and storytelling all fit perfectly inside the frame."
At MacSnaps Photography, I believe the best images come from real connection and genuine moments. I'm Sheri McAninch, a Certified Professional Photographer with a passion for capturing people at their best—whether it’s through heartfelt family portraits, milestone moments, polished corporate headshots, or creative “In the Box” sessions. My style blends professionalism with approachability, creating a relaxed environment where clients feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera. I specialize in on-location photography, bringing the studio to you and ensuring every detail reflects who you are. For me, photography isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about preserving stories, relationships, and memories that deserve to be framed in time.
The Experience
Fill Out the Form
I’d love to get to know you and understand your goals for the session! Once you fill out the *Contact Me* form below, I will email you a questionnaire to fill out. Please take a few moments to fill it out and share a bit of background. This will help me tailor your experience and make the most of our pre-session consultation.
Consultation
We’ll connect either by phone or through a scheduled consultation—whichever works best for you. During our conversation, we’ll discuss your vision for the session, outfit selections, location preferences, and backup plans in case of inclement weather. My goal is to ensure every detail is thoughtfully planned so your photos reflect exactly what you envisioned.
Picture Day
On the day of your session, we’ll meet at the location we discussed—and then the fun begins! While we’ll follow the plan we’ve outlined, I always leave room for spontaneity. If inspiration strikes or you have an idea during the session, don’t hesitate to share it! My goal is to capture images that truly reflect your personality and tell your story in an authentic way.
Delivery
After your session, I’ll carefully cull and edit your images to ensure you receive the very best. Your final gallery will be delivered through an online platform and will include a print release for your personal use. If you’d like to order professional-quality prints, you’ll also have the option to do so directly from your gallery!
