FAMILY PHOTOSHOOTS
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOWDOCUMENTARY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY
7 REASONS WHY YOU NEED TO BOOK A SESSION NOW!
- You love your crazy, colourful family life and you want photos that scream ‘this is us’!
- Your kids are growing and changing too fast and you never want to forget the weird, funny things they do.
- It’s totally stress free, you don’t even need to dress up … unless you mean real dressing up, super heroes and ballerinas are always welcome!
- You don’t need to worry about where to go, your home and your favourite activities make the perfect backdrop for the best memories.
- I definitely won’t ask you to say ‘cheese’, na-ha, no way, never … no awkward posing, just be yourselves, that’s when the real magic happens.
- I’m great with kids, teens, dogs and even husbands (they are always the most reluctant participants!)
- It’s your life, your family, your moments … you need to be in the photos too.

DOCUMENTARY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY
THE ART OF REAL LIFE
I will show you how rich and colourful your life is, the highs and lows of your everyday, the way you play, the way you work together, the way you love, the way you are loved, your routines and rituals, your crazy kids, what makes you laugh, what makes you cry … it won’t look like any other family because this is YOUR FAMILY.
I’m not shooting for single images, I’m shooting for your whole story. I firmly believe that the extended time that we spend together is a unique and essential part of my service, which allows me to capture a series of images that work as a collective to tell the story of your life. My dream is that clients come back year after year and eventually house a collection of books that trace their family history through the years.
