the storyteller session

You are curled on the couch, it is early in the morning and you and the kids are snuggled up while waking up slow. Your little one lays their head on your chest and you breathe it in. You know this moment won’t last and you do everything you can to memorize every detail. You look into the kitchen and there is your husband with his coffee in one hand and your little one in his other. You marvel as you don’t know how, but you are even more in love with him now than ever. As you rush out the door while holding all the little things that everyone else has forgotten to bring, you trip over the soccer shoe that lives just outside where it belongs. You can’t help but laugh, your life is perfectly chaotic. You never know which way you are going from one moment to the next and for every moment that you live in chaos you try and love that it is your chaos. You wish that somehow your kids will remember all the love that lives in the chaos.

The storyteller session is best suited for:

D

– the family time capsule –

A custom story all about your family right now. Maybe your husband loves to make pancakes and you love to snuggle in for a bedtime story. I just know there are magical details in your every day. Let’s capture your family as you are right now. These sessions typically take place in your home.

– the family outing –

Let’s pack up a picnic lunch and find a magical place to have a picnic or pack our backpacks for an amazing trek through the gorgeous trails at the most beautiful time of the day. Lets create your story to be authentically you so the kids will always remember these special outings with you.

D

These are just a few ideas that inspire us, let’s work together to create your authentic story in a beautiful way that will inspire you.

There is a story that lives within all of us and I want to help you not only remember it but to cherish it.  Every aspect of the storyteller session is thoughtfully customized to perfectly share your story. Long before I even pick up the camera we sit together and dream about all of the little ordinary moments that make your family truly special. We then create the your dream session to capture all of those details. No two sessions will ever be the same, even the same family year after year will change.

I cannot wait to dream with you…

Your storyteller session includes:

D

–     an in-home dream session to customize your session and to plan out your wardrobe perfectly.

–      the capture of emotional portraiture and moving memories with video. Your session will typically last between three and four hours but will be customized based on the story that we create together. We customize the location(s) based on your story.

–      a reveal session in your home to share your story with you for the very first time, typically two to three weeks after your session.

–     every image as a luxe portrait print in both black and white and color as a 4×6. As a little girl I used to curl up on my grandmother’s orange velour chair and pull up her basket of pictures onto my lap. Sorting through those memories taught me the value of holding a memory in my hands. While our world is shifting to a digital world I want to help you hold onto your memories.

–       a digital version of every portrait on a beautiful custom cd in a luxe custom case. We will work closely to be sure that your session perfectly shares your story. From the little details to the big moments full of emotion I want you to have it all.

–      your family story as a movie. Nothing brings your story alive more than your family movie. Moving memories have the innate ability to bring you right back to a moment; even years later.

the family field trip session

You are snuggling your little one in a beautiful field and you are both laughing so much that you forget about the busy world all around you. The giggles keep coming as your husband playfully chases after the little ones. A quiet moment with your oldest and you think to yourself that this has been the perfect day.

The sand is in between your toes and your little one keeps inching closer and closer to the water as you chase them for the one hundredth time. What is it about the water that acts like a magnet?  You finally give in and the laughter and splashing cover all of you in smiles. The sun is setting on the horizon as you snuggle close and take a quiet moment from this hectic life.

The family field trip session is best suited for:

DD

– a family who loves the outdoors –

Our field trip session is out in the heart of the outdoors whether in a beautiful field, along the waves at the beach or at our rustic city location. These locations are such a beautiful place to showcase your love.

The family field trip was created to feel like the perfect day with your family. I will gently guide you throughout your session so that everyone feels comfortable and there is no question of what to do next. I love the connection between every one in your family and will make sure to capture the love between each of you. There will be family snuggles, sibling giggles, mommy cuddles, playful daddy moments and sweet individuals of each of your children along with plenty of candid moments in between. We will then end the session with a quiet moment between you and your husband as the kids play.

I cannot wait to show you your beautiful, unscripted love.

the grow with me sessions

You get it.  You feel it.  They are growing right before your eyes and you want to remember all the little moments in between.

D

The grow with me sessions are best suited for:

D

– the documentary –

I love to capture my ever changing (not) so little ones throughout every year and now you can too. Birthdays, holidays, milestones…we will customize your year to capture all of your favorite details.

–  the first year of life –

There is nothing like the first year of life. They grow and change so quickly. I would love to come along with you and document the little milestones that make this year so magical. I will help you customize the session timing to document the details that you love most.

– the second year of life –

There are so many changes during the first year but the second year is just as magical. We are on the move now and that lets those little personalities really shine. I will help you customize the session timing to document the details that you love most during the second year.
