Life is messy and imperfect.

I say, let’s embrace that.

Family photos don’t have to be posed to be beautiful. Find out what a documentary session could look like for your family.

A documentary family session is all about your everyday life.

Whether I’m with you for 2 hours or 12, it will be a window into what a regular day looks like to your family.

I’ll have some questions and prompts that will help guide us to discover what an ideal session looks like for you, but mostly we will keep things loose and open to spontaneity.

You want family photos without a struggle

And you don’t know what that could look like

Sound familiar?
Your spouse hates posing for pictures

but you both cherish memories as a family

How about this?
The kids struggle to sit still

but it would be nice to have everyone in the frame

I can help you craft the fun, stressless photos of your daydreams.

But what does it look like to have someone photographing in your home?

My role is more involved than a shadow but less than a visiting relative. I’ll joke with you and listen to your little ones down on their level. I’ll also be a silent observer in the background at times when the moment is quieter.

There will be mess. Even if you clean before I come over (though please don’t feel like you have to). Kids can be like tornados, it adds to the adventure.

At some point, your kids will cry, misbehave, be less than perfect. That’s OK. More than ok, that’s part of who they are right now. Working with me is a safe, no judgement zone. Parent how you need to parent but don’t worry that my camera is there.

Whether your home has lots of light or a few small windows, I will be able to create great photos that tell the story of you in your space.

If you have any questions about what a session would look like for your family, write me a note.

In life we often take the time to celebrate the firsts: first tooth, first word, first steps.

But what about the lasts?

We never know when it will be the last bedtime story, the last time they need you to kiss their boo boo, the last push on the swings.

With a documentary session we can capture these moments before they become lasts for you to look back on as they grow and for your kids to reminisce over when they are old enough to start their own families.

This is an investment in preserving the sweetness of now for all the generations to come.
