Real Life in photographs. For parents who want to preserve their family story.

Get in the Frame

As a parent myself, I get it. You’re never in the photos because you’re always the one taking them. But you try! You take selfies. And sure, that’s better than nothing but it doesn’t show how you connect with your children in your daily life. Who’s capturing you in those moments?

Your presence in photos is important. It shows how much you were there in the action, through good times and bad. So get in the frame. Be in the photographs. When your children look back at them, they will feel your love all over again.

Catch fleeting moments

The best time to capture these moments is now, while your children are young and living under the same roof. As years go by, these moments become fewer and farther in-between. Don’t miss the opportunity before it’s gone. You will have many stories to share with your children as they grow older.

Embrace it all

Life is not perfect. When the truth is captured and reviewed in retrospect, the unfiltered view of life is always more interesting. So let go. Stop fighting the natural rhythms of life. It's what makes us human and I think it's beautiful when we fully embrace it.

Invest in these moments with your family. In 10, 20, 30+ years from now...you and your children will be grateful to have this precious record of life.

1. What to Expect

All family sessions are captured with a documentary approach. There is no posing, staging or directing. As you go about your life, I simply tag along and document it, free of judgement. My goal is not to shoot for the best instagram posts but to preserve moments that are important for you and your family to have in the future. Moments that tell your family story.

2. How it's Done

Before I show up at your door, we'll chat over the phone to go over any questions you may have. I’ll get to know a little bit about your awesome family. Knowing these details will help me understand what's most important to you. I like leaving the rest of the getting to know on the day of the session. It will feel more like hanging out with a family friend who happens to have a camera :)

3. Where & When

Most sessions are booked on the weekends. My favorite are those that include some time inside and outside of the home. Rain or shine, it's on. I'm able to shoot in most public places as long as photography is not prohibited. For stay-at-home parents looking to document a portion of their day with their toddlers, I’m available to do mini sessions on Thursday and Fridays between 10am - 2pm.
