Family Stories

Service Description

8-12 Final Images The most meaningful moments rarely happen when someone is looking at the camera. They happen while making pancakes on a Sunday morning. Building forts in the living room. Walking the dog through the first snow. A quiet conversation with grandparents. The ordinary routines that, years from now, become the memories we wish we had held onto. My approach is rooted in documentary photography. For more than a decade I have photographed lives, communities, and stories around the world for editorial publications, global brands, and museums. I bring that same curiosity, patience, and attention to detail into your home, not to direct your family, but to observe it honestly. The result isn't a collection of posed portraits. It's a visual record of who you are, together, at this moment in your lives. I offer two session options-- the cost is reflective less of the length of the session, and more in the number of images you will receive. With this session you receive between 8 and 12 images. My main goal is for everyone to feel comfortable and to create images we all love, not to watch the clock! Before your session, we'll have a call to go over everything and can be in touch as much as needed—what you hope to achieve with your images, the look you're going for, clothing options, and what to expect during the shoot. This way, you’ll feel prepared, at ease, and ready to create something amazing together. These sessions are for the people who matter most to you. Whether they're family by birth, chosen family, lifelong friends, or the community you've built around yourself, every relationship has a story worth remembering.
