WITH FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY THAT CELEBRATES WHO YOU ARE

There’s really no need to prepare! The goal of a family documentary session is to capture a genuine day in your life. Simply dress comfortably and be yourselves. If you’d like, you can think of activities that are meaningful to your family, as those moments often make the best memories to photograph.

Kids will be kids, and I’ve seen it all! The beauty of documentary family sessions is that your children are in familiar surroundings, wearing clothes they’re comfortable in, and free to be their authentic, quirky selves. Life is full of emotions and an uncooperative or shy moment is just a part of that; capturing who they are at that moment in time. It’s all part of the story we’re telling!

Absolutely! Pets are beloved members of the family, and I never limit who can be part of the session. This is about capturing your family’s story, and if that includes your furry friends, then let’s make it happen.

Sessions typically last between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the package you choose. This allows everyone plenty of time to adjust to me being there with my camera and to feel comfortable in front of the lens, so you can truly be yourselves.

The beauty of documentary family photography is that there’s no specific “best” time — anytime is perfect for capturing your family’s story. This style focuses on the meaningful, unique moments that define your family, and those moments aren’t limited by time. As a documentary family photographer, I’m experienced in working with various lighting conditions to ensure your photos turn out beautifully, no matter when the session takes place.

Wear whatever feels right for you! Clothing is a personal expression, and documentary photography is all about capturing the authentic you. If your child wants to wear a tutu and rain boots, let’s make it happen! (My son once wore slippers everywhere, and my daughter had a phase where she only wore a cat winter hat —those were some of my favorite memories to capture.) Ultimately, comfort is key, so choose clothes that let you move freely and feel at ease.

After your session, I carefully select and edit the best images. You can expect to receive your photos within 4-6 weeks, delivered through an online gallery following a Zoom reveal session.

Yes! I’m a huge believer in the power of physical photographs. There’s something truly special about holding an album in your hands and sharing it with your kids and family. I offer a variety of high-quality prints and custom-designed albums to beautifully showcase your family’s memories. We can go over the options during our consultation or after your session.

To reserve your session, a deposit is required. If you need to reschedule or cancel, please give at least 48 hours’ notice. Cancellations made within 48 hours may incur a fee.
