We’re about to start booking 2014 sessions! Woohoo!
So here’s a little news about 2014. We are continuing to focus on the types of photography that we are most passionate about — Families and Newborns/Babies — and we’re continuing to offer two different but similar types of family sessions. {Family Lifestyle} sessions are our regular family sessions that focus on personalities and relationships, on capturing the things that make you special as individuals and as a family unit, rather than just “say cheese” moments. In addition to our regular Family Lifestyle sessions we are going to be highlighting our {Day in the Life} sessions, a special kind of family session that takes place in your home and focuses on capturing your “Real Life” …except with a creative eye and pro equipment. Think of {Day in the Life} sessions as a family time-capsule filled with photo memories that will preserve tidbits of your current “everyday” life so that some day, when you’re older and the kids are older, you can go back and savor what it used to be like.
Because without some help, sadly, we forget. The details we cherish now, the moments that time keeps grabbing from our fingers, or maybe even some aspects of our lives that we inadvertently take for granted, the specifics of our family life in the here and now… We want to capture that. Preserve that. Commemorate the present time in your family’s history with a treasure of photos, a visual history, that will last through the years.
I’m passionate about this kind of photography. Can you tell? It’s what I do for my own family. I take pictures of everything. If my kids are doing something cute, I try to be deliberate about taking a picture of it because, before I know it, they will have outgrown that particular precious quirk and will be on to something else. I try to be aware. Because I don’t want to have regrets. I want to spend as much time with my family and my children and make as many memories with them as possible. And I want to be able to remember as much of the time and as many of the memories we make together as possible. Photos accomplish that. They remember for me.
What makes you YOU? What are the everyday activities that your family enjoys together? What new things are your kids learning/doing? What makes you laugh? What do you love? Do you enjoy seeing your kids splashing in the bath? Having a dance party? Showing off their newly learned keyboarding skills? Playing outside? Do you like to make smoothies as a family? Do you read together as a family? Ride your bikes together around the neighborhood?
This is one family’s story, and it’s sweet. And they will never regret that they took the time to preserve the details of their everyday life in 2013. Your story is different. Let’s tell it.

(Day in the Life sessions are for couples and families of all ages and sizes. Check out {A Day in the Life} of Teija & Trevor, a couple I photographed last year cooking dinner together and having a pasta picnic on the floor of their apartment in the place where the dining room table should have been.)
