Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.
-Aaron Siskind

Day in a life
This is the real deal. The more time I am able to spend with you, the more comfortable and authentic the photos become. It may seem like a long time but I promise it goes by fast and you're having fun the whole time. Documentary photography is about being authentic and capturing the memories you'll look back on with nostalgia. I'll follow along telling your story as you go about your day. I'm capturing the laughs and tears, the messes and the fun, the true you.

All Day
I am at your disposal! This my daily rate and am happy to also cover a weekend of life as well. This may seem like a long time but it is you in your real life. No punches. You get to do the fun and the mundane and have it all to cherish because life changes so quickly. Capture the the kids first waking up, all your daily adventures and the sweet moments putting them to bed. This season of life goes fast So capture it! This is great option if your day includes travel, travel to the beach, to the zoo, to the park, camping (yes! I will come camping with you!) If it means something to your family, I am happy to come along!
12-24 hours
Your story doesn’t have to be confined to just one day out of the year. The entire year your family goes through incredible growth. You experience triumphs together. You experience difficulties. Babies go from crawling to walking. First days of school. Holidays with family. New experiences for you and your children. Vacations. Family traditions. Imagine being able to have this beautiful tapestry told through images over the course of the entire year. Summer at the River. Fall at the pumpkin patch. Winter decorating your Christmas Tree. Spring mud puddle jumping.

Before your day. I would love the opportunity to be able to sit with you and discuss you as as a family. We'll go over expectations and get an idea of what you want to do on your day.
Your Day! I literally just come to hang out. Before long you'll forget I'm snapping away. I always encourage you to just be you. No matching outfits or posed shots. Be in pajamas! Make cookies and get messy! Have fun! This is 95% of your memories anyway, so it really is something special to have it captured.
After the hoopla. I always work hard to get your photos delivered quickly. I would love to help you get some of your memories printed, whether wall art or an album. That's why a $50 print credit is included in every session.
