in common.

in common.

They're natural and relaxed moments that tell a story of the bonds and love that make our lives meaningful. Those moments bring us closer to the people in them. They slow down and stop time, inviting you into a family's world in a way that feels honest and vulnerable.

That’s the kind of work I create.

They feel like the people in them.

With an experienced lens, a storyteller’s eye and a craft for seeing the beauty in regular moments, our session together will not only pull you in, but give you moving photos and films you’ll never want to let go.

Photos

You want a relaxed session where everyone can just be themselves and look cute doing it; a session where your kids can just be kids. Not a lot of posing or coaxing for certain shots, but way more laughter, wild play and even getting a little dirty.

Films

You want to get their little quirks, mannerisms and voices on film before they grow even bigger. Maybe you want to pause this chaotic season and just look around, to just look at each other and really feel what it is to be here. Or maybe you want to have one day where it’s not about screens, commuting, cleaning or trying to get out the door, but is all about being close, being present and being connected.

A Day in the Life Family Film is the perfect way to do it all.

FAQ's

I really want to do a session, but if I’m honest, I want to look and feel better before I do. Is there a way to feel completely comfortable now or should I just wait?

Q

When I look back on the VHS and photos from my childhood, I never once looked at my Mom’s weight or outfit or nails. I wasn’t paying attention as a kid and I’m not paying attention now as an adult to those things, even though I’m sure my Mom or Dad thought about them at the time. The thing is, kids don’t care. They don’t. They aren’t thinking about it, caring about it or even noticing. It’s not about that, even though, our appearance can be understandably sensitive and vulnerable. What I’ll say is, you’re safe with me and you’re safe to be yourself with your family - exactly as you are. The whole session is about capturing what it feels like to be a family, not what it looks like.

I have tons of photos and videos on my phone, so is it worth it to get them professionally done?

Q

I’ve spoken to several moms and the number one reason videos on phones are not as valuable as a family  film is because moms are typically not in the videos. Moms usually are the ones doing the documenting. Let’s be honest, so much of what is in our phones stays in our phones. We rarely rewatch videos and seldom print photos. When parents are included in a family film, there’s a higher intention to make it special, make it beautiful and make it together.

I would love to book a session, but I’m pinched financially. How do I know I’m going to love the result in order to make sure the investment is worth it?

Q

We can all relate to prioritizing and budgeting our money, so I completely understand.  You’re never going to regret the experience and the photos and/or film you and your family will receive. Some clients are nervous to spend their money, but wish they would’ve scheduled their session sooner and are already planning their next film. They not only relished the experience of pausing for a few hours getting to spend quality time together as a family, but they also received beautiful documented memories for a lifetime. 

A

Our family isn’t that natural in front of a camera, so I’m afraid our session is going to be more awkward, posed or uncomfortable than anything else. Is there a way to get around that?

Q

You’d be surprised how common this is. Most people think they’re “bad” in front of the camera and only feel self-conscious when being recorded or documented. This is super normal, but it helps to remember that this is likely a new experience for everyone. It takes some warming up to feel at ease, but everyone gets there faster than you think. We get to take our time so everyone is comfortable. And the truth is, once the initial nerves of the first few minutes wear off, you’ll likely forget I’m even there. I’m a welcoming and warm person, so you won’t get any cold, robotic instructions or feel like you’re on display. We’ll get to know each other a bit and I’ll feel more like a good friend with a great camera. Lastly, we’ll be immersed in your home or a setting you know while doing things you love to do, so the comfort of regular surroundings and natural activities helps you feel comfortable.
