Why should I book a Documentary Family Session?

I don’t know about you, but my kids rarely sit still. They want to run wild and do their thing! When you sign up for a documentary session you are getting just that. Your family as they are right now - all the genuine laughs, unique connections, and full of life story.

I thought my son has always hated taking pictures because he gave us trouble at his newborn session at 5 days old….Fast forward to when we hired Amanda to take our maternity and newborn session with baby number two. Amanda put all of us at ease including the toddler. We actually had fun! Her photojournalistic style allows her to capture the most precious unplanned moments and encounters. The photos are beautiful!

Let’s add movement and sound to enrich your photographs. Someone once told me kids bounce, they are so lively and navigate the world carefree. Imagine capturing the sweet giggles and essence of your kids being exactly themselves. You will have a film to enjoy for years and generations to come! What story do you want to tell?
