Documentary Wedding and Family Photography
YOUR
FAMILY
YOUR FAMILY
It's the every day moments and rituals that make our lives so meaningful. Life is about sharing these moments with people you love, and so is documentary family photography.
I'm not a fan of posed family portraits. That's the honest truth of it. I'll take a group photo for posterity just for the sake of it, but I much prefer those unposed moments. Those photos that capture relationships and personalities. I find that people love those photos so much more, especially over time as the memories begin to fade.
Why documentary style photography?
- documentary sessions capture who you, and your family, really are at that moment in time, more than a posed portrait ever could
- they allow you to relax and just be yourselves
- I capture moments, expressions, glances, quirks that you might never notice in real life
- no need to get all dressed up and try to make the kids behave, and you won't have to put on that fake smile yourself
How do these sessions work?
Documentary family sessions are meant to portray your life as it really is. I will accompany you during the activities of your choice and document you without direction. I highly recommend doing these sessions in your home, especially with small children, since it's such a big part of your lives.
Documentary family sessions range from one hour to a full day-in-the-life and start at $375, including 15 digital files of your choice from a larger gallery. Sessions can be booked online here. Family documentary can include immediate and extended family sessions, maternity sessions, and Fresh 48 newborn photography sessions.
