Imagine a photo session with your family that doesn't disrupt your routine. Where there's with no need to cajole your kids (or your significant other) into wearing a special outfit and trying to keep it clean. Where you don't have to stress about whether everyone will smile and be on their best behavior.
Imagine a friend coming over for a couple of hours to hang out, play with your kids, and laugh about the joys and chaos of parenthood. Imagine being able to go with the flow of the day, having a snack or breaking for a nap whenever needed, playing games, reading books, or heading out whenever you feel like it.
Imagine receiving photos that show you your favorite parts of being a parent. Of being a family. Quiet, sweet moments you weren't even aware of. Funny ones that highlight the silliness of your kids. Meaningful ones that depict disorder, hard work, and, above all, love in your family's story.
Imagine having no guilt about letting your photos languish away on your computer’s hard drive, because you’ll be holding a professionally designed album in your hands, watching your children look through it’s pages. Because you’ll be looking at your photos hanging on your walls, where your family walks by them every day reliving those sweet or goofy moments.
That's what a documentary family photography session with me is all about. It's a stress-free way of capturing the beauty of everyday family life amid all the imperfections and disorder.

Custom Multi-Session Package - please inquire for customized options
Life changes so much in a year and picking just one day for photographs that will represent your family's entire year can be daunting. Sometimes one day just isn't enough. Contact me to discuss a custom, multi-session package that takes the pressure off of choosing a single day or activity and instead allows you to capture the essence of your family over time.
This might be documenting your journey to parenthood or the arrival of another child by capturing your pregnancy, newborn, and baby's first year. Or it may be capturing a multitude of seasonal activities through the year, from a summer day at the pool, to fall hikes, to holiday baking traditions or snow days.
All sessions are subject to applicable state sales tax.
