What Is Family Documentary Photography?

The Best Moments of Your Life Are Unscripted.


GENUINE. HECTIC. TOUCHING. FUNNY.
 

Just the Way You Like It — Even if You Don’t Quite Realize It.

Documentary Family Photography is unposed photography of your family living your real lives without my direction. The shoots are unscripted, undirected, and entirely spontaneous. Whatever happens, happens! I observe your family's life and document whatever is happening in front of me. I record fleeting moments of life, however mundane they may seem at the time, so you can remember the little, in-between-life moments that eventually will be more priceless than the more significant moments.

I hang out with you and your family for a few hours or a whole day. And I photograph a day in the life of you. No directing, no posing. Everything I document is genuine. Every moment, laugh, expression, smile, tantrum, tears, hugs and kisses.

Every family is different and unique and has their own story to tell. No two photo session is the same. I've included below one family's story, which I hope will help explain this fantastic genre of photography and why it is so important. Everyone's life is beautiful just as it is, and hopefully, this may give you an insight into how and why. 

Life doesn’t happen in the big events and momentous occasions, It happens in the small everyday moments, the in-between times that shape us and our families.
