Want a REAL LIFE, DAY-IN-THE-LIFE, DOCUMENTARY session?

 

Whatever you call it, let's tell the authentic, messy, not-so-perfect story of your everyday life. Invite me over to your house or to your family's favorite place and I will show you just how special and beautiful your everyday moments are with your family.

​

Does your family love to go to the pumpkin patch each fall? Or maybe it's time at your favorite lake or park? Whatever you would normally do on a weekend (or week night) together, invite me along and let me capture it all so you can actually be part of it all and come away with fun memories and real photos (that you are actually in!).

​

Does your family love to play board games or toss the ball around outside? Invite me over to your house and, in just a short time, you'll forget I'm there. You'll relax into your normal routines and I will capture all the fun, boring, messy, loud, quiet moments of your everyday. Don't worry about straightening the house or coordinating outfits. You'll be amazed what I see vs what you see and these will be the photos you will truly treasure in the future.

​

Not sure what to expect from a documentary session? Start with the 2-hour option to get a taste of what's possible!! Then you'll be hooked and can invite me back in the future for a day-in-the-life session.

 

That's right! I really do show up and spend the entire day with you.

 

Need to take a trip to the store? I'll be there for the mundane moments of buckling the kids into the car, holding their hands while walking in, their curious hands touching all the things they shouldn't, them helping you scan the items at checkout. These are the times when you are being "mom" and what your kids will remember.

 

Kids acting crazy and parents needing a break? That's ok - I won't interfere with anything and will always respect your privacy when needed. But I'll be there capturing the kids' quiet moments in their beds reading some books to chill, dad firing up the grill for dinner, mom tending to a scrapped knee, brothers wrestling, sisters crafting, all the little moments you might not even notice are going on around you. 

​

I know inviting someone in, being vulnerable and open and letting it all hang out can be intimidating. I'll get to know you and your family before I even show up so we'll feel like old friends. We'll start with a questionnaire so I can get to know each family member and then we'll schedule a short zoom call so we can see each other and you can ask any questions and let the kids and Dad get more comfortable with the idea. We'll pick a day and then leave the rest up to me.
