Documentary Family Photos are a slice of what your daily life is actually like. A raw portrait of what it means to be a member of your family. Lifestyle is more of a staged moment on location, or at home.
WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFESTYLE & Documentary Family Photography?
These sessions run at least 3 to 4 hours. The session fee covers up to 3 hours. There is never a concrete end time, as I tend to finish up once I feel like we got the coverage we need. It is nice to try and block off an entire day so we have the freedom to plan for anything and you can use the extra time as a day off wth the family.
HOW LONG DOES A TYPICAL SESSION LAST?
When it comes to photos, it should always be quality of quantity. I carefully sift through every session finding the best of the best and hand edit all of those images. You can typically expect 40 images an hour with up to ~120 to 200 images for you to choose from.
HOW MANY IMAGES WILL WE GET FROM OUR SESSION?
Great question! These sessions are meant to be at home to show your daily life. However this time is yours, so going outside, playing in the backyard, a quick grocery run, soccer practice, visiting a museum, a beach day or a hike is most definitely okay.
Where exactly do these session happen? Our home or can we travel somewhere fun?
Together we will work out the best time. Some of this will depend on the content you want captured. Do you want pictures of your critters being sleepyheads and starting there day with pancakes> Then lets start early! Do you want some images after nap time when at full blast, refreshed and ready to go. If so, then let's start laster in the afternoon. Do you want that golden light at sunset spilling through your windows and get pictures of the kids outside, then lets plan around sunset and the evening.
WHAT TIME WILL OUR SESSION BE?
Absolutely! Every step of the way. As soon as you book your session, you'll receive a fun questionnaire diving more into who your family is. Based on those answer I will build a few different options of what we could do for those 4 hours, as well as, a timelines breaking down the day.
Do you help with planning?
Great question! You will have access to your gallery for up to 2 years.
