what are documentary family photography sessions?

Documentary family photography sessions are the perfect way to capture your family just as you are. As a family photographer, I specialize in creating authentic, real-life images that you'll cherish for years to come.

We went photographs that do more than capture pretty faces.

Gone are the days of Insta-perfect photography. What we want now are images that do more than just capture pretty faces. We want images that capture the essence of who we are as a family.

That's where documentary style family photography comes in. Your family is at its best when you are being yourselves, doing what you do together. This is where the true beauty lives, and it's what you'll most want to remember and return to years from now.

I know that one day you're going to miss these days, no matter how exhausted and overwhelmed you feel now. And what you'll miss most are the small, often unseen and definitely uncaptured moments. These are the moments I'm here to help you hold on to—forever.

Day in the Life photography sessions are the absolute best way to photograph your family. These sessions are just what they sound like—a day in your family's life (or a chunk of the day), captured just as you live it, just as you are. I join your family and document the big and small moments that make up your life. The beauty of it all is that the pressure is off and the resulting images are true and real, making them all that much beautiful. There's no need to plan the perfect outfits or bribe the kids to behave. We're looking to capture the real moments of your family's life as it is, silly, messy, happy, goofy, frustrating, loving, and, if you have kids, a million other things.

Trust me to capture the moments that matter most. Whether it's a day in your family's life or a special event, my documentary photography sessions will give you the opportunity to hold onto those fleeting moments and relive them for years to come.
