Your Story, Documented.
Authentic photography that captures the everyday magic of life—real, raw, and beautifully yours.
Why Documentary Family Photography?
Life isn’t about perfect poses; it’s about the moments in between. Whether it’s welcoming a new baby, decorating Christmas cookies, or saying goodbye to a loved one, these are the stories that matter. Documentary family photography is about preserving those moments with honesty and care, so you can hold onto them forever.
Family means many things—whether it’s kids, couples, pets, or traditions. Your story deserves to be celebrated, exactly as it is.”

What to Expect
A Tailored Experience
Every family’s story is unique, and your session will reflect that. Whether I’m documenting the quiet moments at home, the first precious hours in the hospital after a baby’s arrival, or a farewell to a loved one, I approach each story with care and sincerity. These sessions are about capturing life as it is—real, raw, and meaningful.
Unlimited Photos, No Choices Required
I believe your story is too important to limit. You’ll receive every photo I’ve carefully edited—no arbitrary limits and no hard choices. It’s all part of preserving your memories as fully as possible.
Session Locations
• Your Home: Perfect for documenting the small, beautiful moments of everyday life.
• Outdoors or Other Meaningful Locations: Parks, trails, or places your family loves to visit.
• Hospitals or Birth Centers: For First 48 or birth photography, capturing those first precious hours.
• Venues or Churches: Thoughtfully documenting farewells or memorials.
Natural Light Focus
I primarily use natural light to create warm, authentic images that reflect the moment’s true beauty. Sessions are scheduled to make the most of this lighting, ensuring your photos feel timeless and full of life.
Details to Keep in Mind
• Deposit: A $250 nonrefundable deposit is required to book your session. This ensures your date is reserved just for you.
• Military & First Responder Discount: I offer a discount as a small thank-you to those who serve.
• Customizable Options: If you need a tailored package for a specific event or timeline, I’m happy to work with you to create something that fits your needs.
Your family’s story is incredibly special, and I’m committed to capturing it with care and respect. For the safety and privacy of children, I do not display straight-on facial photos of minors in my portfolio or on my website. Your family’s memories will always be shared thoughtfully.
Focus on Prints and Albums
While digital files are included, your story deserves to live beyond the screen. Each package includes professionally printed photos, and albums are available for preserving your memories in a tangible, timeless way.
