The days you'll ache for, are happening {now}.

I'm holding space for 3 families who don't want to forget the ordinary days that make up the bigger picture. 

This is your chance to actually {hold} onto one.

FOUNDING FAMILIES

I'm opening up something new: Full-Day Family Documentary sessions.

Not the kind where everyone lines up, forces a smile, and counts down the minutes until it's over. The kind where I show up in the morning chaos, stay through the backyard nonsense, catch the meltdown and the reconciliation, and leave with a day fully preserved  and nothing is staged.

This is a new offering for me, and I want to build it out right. So I'm opening 3 Founding Family spots at half the normal full-day rate. In exchange, I get to keep growing this side of my work with real families willing to be first.

If you've ever wished someone could just be there for one of your actual days, not the performance for social media one, this is that.

A FULL day of your life documented.

You made art out of our real life mundane moments! I can not thank you enough. How did you make this mess of ours look beautiful??  Thank you for helping me keep this brief chapter forever.

A: For the first hour, yes. It's totally weird for both of us. I'm an introvert that is now in a strangers home putting a camera in their face. You've let a stranger into your home to document you do the laundry while your kids play in the living room. We can both agree that it's really awkward.

But I want you to see how beautiful your life is right now, so badly that I am willing to risk the awkwardness.

For the first hour, everyone is quiet & reserved.  Then you start to forget I'm even there, and you relax a little.  You get to do what you normally do, and I get to show you how beautiful your mundane life can be. When you get the final gallery back, you will cry happy tears because a stranger has shown you how beautiful your normal life can be. And the best part, is that you are now IN THE FRAME. Your children will value these images even more n 30 years. 

I have questions.....

A: Yup! Incase you haven't heard, these are in fact The Good Ol' Days. You deserve something more, than the same old photos that everyone is getting. Think about how you want to remember this season of life. It's okay to document the reality of parenthood just as it is. Think of me as a friend that comes over to hang out, who just so happens to bring her big camera with. 

Wait. I don't get it. So you'll just...hang out with us all day? 

So, what do we do all day? 

A family photo session that lasts all day? Isn't that kinda weird? 

A: Live your normal day to day life. Documentary Family Sessions are less about everyone looking straight at the camera, and more about documenting where you are right now. The chaos, the closeness, the moments nobody staged. Those are the memories worth running into a burning building to save. You don't get this day or season twice.

Documenting the sublime absurdities of raising children in this era

Parenthood is good and it is a lot, all at once. Somewhere in the sameness of the days, you stop noticing how funny, how haunting, how genuinely beautiful it all is. That's where I come in — I see it because I'm not in it. And these images give it back to you, exactly as it actually felt.
