Family Sessions
Fall in love with yourselves and the life you are creating.
Whether in-home or out-and-about, we will capture the extraordinary, the magical, and the magnificent in your quietest (and loudest) moments.
Short and Sweet
This is the story of your family during a moment of your life. It could be bringing your newborn home, going to a park, waking up and having breakfast, or family get-togethers. This isn’t your annual posed family photos that shows what your family looks like, this is capturing what your family feels like.

Day In The Life
If you want to pick either the morning or evening routine, this is for you. We’ll get a good glimpse at what a day-in-your-life is like, whether we start with breakfast or end with bedtime. It’s your life unscripted and unposed, capturing the moments you did not even think you would cherish.

“Mini” Seasonal
For these “mini” storytelling sessions, I go to your home and photography one specific family activity you want to capture. Maybe it’s just making cookies, or carving pumpkins, or doing your bedtime routine. If you love the idea of candid photos but just aren’t sure what to do with the time, this will be so easy!

The Experience
-
Great! Contact me to ask any questions you have about booking a session. I usually do this over email, but I’m happy to chat with you on the phone, Zoom, or meet up at a coffee shop to get to know each other.
-
Let’s get you on the calendar! I’ll send a contract, model release, and questionnaire. You’ll also receive an invoice which includes a deposit to reserve your date. Once everything is complete you are booked!
-
You pretty much go about your day as usual! I’m like a family friend who is hanging out with you for the day and just happens to be taking photos. I very much go with your flow. Sometimes we’ll chat, sometimes I’ll be a fly on the wall. If you’ve booked me to take newborn photos, there will be some more posing, mostly consisting of your baby showing off their cuteness. For other sessions we might spend a couple minutes doing some posed family photos, but that’s it.

Depending on the length of your session, there might be some downtime, which is totally normal. I’d recommend just having some sort of schedule in mind, and making sure you do some things together as a family, even if it’s really laid back. Think: baking, reading, gardening, snuggling, even wrestling, whatever gets you interacting.
Your family is perfect and your home is perfect AS IS! It’s okay that the house is a mess and that the kids misbehave or take longer to warm up. There’s no judgment. And that’s the beauty of documentary photography. This is who you are.

“I felt very at ease and it was easy to be photographed by Laura. She got some great shots that we didn’t expect to be so good within the moment. A simple snap she took in the hallway is still one of my favorites. She didn’t press us or our kids to do anything that seemed out of the ordinary in order to get extraordinary personal and heartfelt photos. Her sincerity in her personality and photographic approach really sealed the deal for us.”
