For Families
THE EXPERIENCE
DOCUMENTING YOUR FAMILY, THE WAY IT IS
Family and Motherhood sessions hold such a sweet spot in my heart. I remember growing up looking at photo albums of our family was one of my favorite things. Seeing what my life was like, memories I had forgotten about, and getting to have sweet photographs captured with loved ones.
If there is anything that I know about families is that they change. Everyday we grow, life changes and there is always unexpected change that happens. The one thing that it has made me feel is the need to document and cherish every part of our lives and families. No more waiting until someone reaches a certain age, someone reaches a goal weight, or waiting for anything. This is your life now, this is your family now.
This is also why I take the approach that I do (as mentioned below) because I really do think that the whole purpose of photos should be to showcase your families beauty, moments and emotions.
Types of family sessions I offer; Lifestyle family, Maternity and Motherhood sessionsAll sessions I offer are lifestyle and geared towards having a longer session with planned out activities of cooking, playing in the yard, riding bikes around the neighborhood, taking the dogs out, having a picnic… something you, something fun and something that everyone can enjoy.
MY APPROACH
My approach and philosophy to taking pictures is cultivated on connection and trust between me and those I work with. I am not the type of photographer who will just show up, awkwardly meet and take lots of posed pictures that feel more like a chore than fun.
I want to create something beautiful and unique to you. I want to brainstorm ideas and concepts that resonate with you and your season in life. I want both of us to be freaking out with excitement to be able to work together and collaborate. I want you to feel like you already know me personally from our communication before the pictures so it feels like seeing a friend who is taking your pictures and not someone you feel like your don’t know and who doesn’t know you yet they are about to try and document and capture the essence of what you feel and what is going on in your life in this moment. It’s about feeling seen by each other.
I focus on the real and raw moments with each session because to me those are the most precious moments and the ones that make your heart happy, the moments you maybe haven’t had the time to see the beauty in. I want the messy, the rainy, the wind blown hair, the laughing so hard you are about to pee your pants, the bare feet, the spontaneous lets jump in the water, the intimate, the heart pounding… give me all of it and let me show you just how beautiful your life and this moment is.

For photos I typically do not but there are always exception let me know if you did want that. The reason why is that editing is a big part of the art and the experience I give as part of each session. Most of the creative vision gets pulled together during the editing phase.
For Video however I absolutely do and LOVE when it happens, I have a $500 add on to get all raw video and mic footage, uncut. Think home video type coverage.
-
I don’t alter the way you look (except non-permanent blemishes like acne or bruises)
If there is something you are insecure about let me know before the shoot and I will pose or take pictures in a way that will make you feel more secure.
I do not add people or face swap. I document and create art out of the real.
