Documentary Family Photography

Documentary family photography is about capturing the real moments that make your family yours - the ones that happen between the posed shots. Rather than directing you, I blend into your day like a familiar guest, giving your family the space to simply be. What you're left with isn't just a collection of beautiful images - it's an honest, lasting record of who you are right now, told exactly as it happened.

How it works

01. Reserve your date

Secure your session with a deposit - spots are limited and fill up fast. Once you're booked, I'll send through an agreement & short questionnaire so I can get to know your family, followed by a quick Zoom chat to answer any questions before we meet.

02. Just be yourselves

On the day, simply do what you'd normally do - errands, chores, backyard chaos and all. There's no posing, no rules, and no pressure to smile on cue. Within 2–3 weeks your private online gallery will be ready for you to choose your favourites.

03. Receive your images

Once you've made your selections, your images are delivered digitally via a download pin - plus a beautiful bamboo USB with both high and low resolution files sent straight to your door. Something to hold onto, forever.
