What is Documentary Family Photography?

Documentary family photography is not portrait photography. It is not planned out or posed. No one has to say cheese, wear matching outfits, or be anything other than who they are. It’s real, it’s honest, and it’s the true story of your family.

I can meet you in your home, rental, about town, or on the beach. Your session does not have to be a special occasion, although I love to document those as well. It can be just an ordinary day, your day, so you will never forget what life is like now…at this moment. In a month it will be different, in a year, even more so. Let’s capture it before their teeth have grown in, before the sunburn heals, before they abandon their favorite toy.

Together, let's create photos that tell your unique story. All you have to do is be you.

Documentary family photography is for you if:

  • You want more than pretty photos–you want real moments

  • You care more about showing personalities than perfection

  • You don’t want the stress of a traditional photoshoot where everyone is supposed to look and act a certain way

  • You want to create something that your family can pass down through the generations that truly show what you, your family and your life are really like
