about Family Photojournalism
It's your reality: artfully & authentically
There is a lot of truth to the saying that time is a thief. The pictures created through family photography are unparalleled in their ability to arrest time, to preserve moments, and to connect memories with feelings. Let's create these priceless heirlooms together!
Family Photojournalism
Normal life, for real
Family photojournalism captures the incredibly beautiful moments in the ordinary life you live.
These images transport you through time and space to just how your family looked and felt through the years. They connect your real life memories with your real life feelings. This isn't your typical family photography session.
Your family is personal. Your pictures should be too.
Not a day goes by that we don’t think about those special moments...

intrigued but a bit intimidated?
How about just a slice!
Love the idea of a completely unscripted and stress-free family photography session, but the thought of someone following you through your entire day is daunting?
Ease yourself in with a Slice of Life.
While the magic of family photojournalism thrives with the breathing room of more full day coverage, there is still lots of beauty and magical images to be created in a shorter session.
Slice of Life sessions include two consecutive hours of photography coverage and 50-75 final edited hi-res images in an online gallery with unlimited downloads.
Every Slice of Life session includes a canvas print up to a 12x18. These pictures deserve a place in your home, not simply on your device.
Slice of Life sessions start at $750.
