As a photographer, my goal is not to simply document your family; it’s to tell your story. I want to capture the pure, authentic moments that make up your everyday life. I want to freeze those moments in time, so that years from now, when your children are all grown up and have families of their own, you can look back on these videos and be transported back to that feeling of childhood. You can relive the laughter, the love, and the joy that filled your home or the places you explored.
A family photo + film session is not just about capturing beautiful images, it’s about breathing room. It’s about giving yourself and your loved ones the space to be truly present, to let go of all the noise and distractions of everyday life and simply connect. In front of the camera, moms and dads are where they belong, embracing their little ones, and living out their story.
As a mom of two teenagers, I’m seeing just how fast time goes by. I think back to their chubby cheeks, squeaky voices, and more than anything, the way they looked at me. I now look at every session differently than before. I look at moments through the eyes of a mom who only wishes she had those moments on film. Their pitter patter feet running down the hall. Their witty off-the-cuff sayings, and the way they look at their parents with the deepest love and admiration. Every…single…family needs a film. Take a look around and start dreaming up your own family film. Let’s embark on this journey together, and let me help you tell your family’s story, one frame at a time.
I offer two Family Film options each with their own unique purpose but all include the following
1
Connections that you don’t even know you’re missing. When families tuck away all the distractions in life and you’re not forced to act a certain way, it allows moms & dads to see their beautiful children and all the things that make them special.
2
To tell your story best we’ll have multiple conversations prior to your session date. My goal is to get to know you all on a deeper level and make sure you have a full understanding of what to expect including what to wear and where we’ll shoot.
3
Your film will be artistically crafted by me with a lot of love and passion poured into it. I use licensed music, audio from our time together and color grade to match my style. We’ll capture all the magical moments and merge them together to tell your story.
4
Don’t worry, I didn’t forget about the photos. You’ll receive a beautiful photo gallery of images to hang on your wall, place in photo albums and share with loved ones. If you desire we’ll take some time to focus on photos and then go into the film where I’ll capture additional photos from the film.
5
Your memories will be shared with you on a digital platform as well as a hand crafted USB + box and print and/or photo album.
6
Time is the one thing you can’t slow down or get back. When you think about what matters most, it’s the people you surround yourself with. Family Films are a beautiful gift you can give yourself but more importantly the generations to follow and the legacy you leave behind. Your story is worth holding onto and being reminded of. Have you ever dreamed of what your family film might look like?
