First off, what is
documentary family photography?

Documentary family photography is about capturing your family’s real life—no posing, no matching outfits, just the beautifully imperfect moments that make your story unique. It’s about genuine connection, laughter, and quiet in-between moments that often go unnoticed and forgotten. Think of it as a visual time capsule: raw, honest, and authentically you.

What I Bring with Me

compassion

I show up with a heart ready to connect. Being invited into your family’s world is an honor I don’t take lightly. I approach each session with genuine care, ensuring everyone feels comfortable, respected, and seen just as they are.

fresh eyes

I see beauty in the everyday. Your family’s unique rhythms, quirks, and connections are what make your story special. I look for authentic, unscripted moments that capture your life as it truly is — honest, imperfect, and full of meaning.

no judgment

Life is messy, and that’s where the magic lives. Your kids don’t have to be on their best behavior, and your home doesn’t need to be spotless. I embrace real life, capturing the warmth and love that shines through even on the busiest days.

empathy

I understand that family life can be complex and unpredictable. My role isn’t just to take photos but to be present with understanding and patience. I create space for your family to simply be, honoring your experiences with sensitivity and care.

Timeless Albums

Your family’s story deserves more than a digital archive — it deserves to be held, shared, and passed down. That’s why every family session includes a thoughtfully crafted album. It turns your photos into a meaningful narrative, something your kids can flip through years from now, remembering the connections, routines, and moments that shaped their world. In a time when memories often fade into screens, an album becomes a lasting keepsake — your family’s legacy in printed form.

Each Session Package includes a custom, archival-quality album.

Photos to Photographs

There’s something powerful about seeing your family’s moments displayed in your home. Photographs on your walls aren’t just decoration — they’re daily reminders of what matters most. They ground your space in love, memory, and connection, transforming fleeting snapshots into meaningful art. Living with these images invites your family’s story to be celebrated, remembered, and felt every single day.

Each Session Package includes print credit to enjoy your favorite moments everyday.
