It had been a few months since I had last visited with Alana, Joe, and their two girls. Last I had seen them, baby T was just a few months old. Now, I had the privilege to hang with the family and see how things had changed during this family documentary photo session.
Over the span of 4-hours, I followed along through breakfast, a ballet class, and snack time to capture this beautiful family’s day-to-day routine.
Folks have asked what is the process of the process of each day in the life session. It is a simple one! Plan to spend some quality time with your kids and let me capture you as you are in this very moment – It may just be the most relaxed photo session you’ve ever had. It is important to note that this not your typical photo session, documentary photo sessions are not photo sessions in the traditional sense. The process looks more like me dropping into your life at a time you would want to remember, to make pictures that will truly matter to you.
When the Berdahl family reached out to me they had exciting news. Their youngest had just received a cancer free diagnoses and they were thrilled to showcase their life with two healthy children.
WORRY YOU’LL BE TOO BORING? NOT POSSIBLE! A lot of parents worry that they won’t be interesting enough for a documentary session. All the pictures you see in my portfolio are of regular families doing their regular things – there is always magic to be found in the everyday moments.
CAN’T FIGURE OUT A DAY THAT WOULD WORK FOR A SESSION? ANY DAY WORKS. Whatever happens during our time together, that’s ok! Your kids have ballet class – I’ll join! Big sister has a soccer game – that’ll be fun! Mom may not be home all day – let’s capture what happens while she’s at work. Kiddo’s bestie might stop by – that would be amazing!

When Realtor, LeAnne West was looking for new headshots to compliment her growing real estate business, we chose Sandy Point Beach in Portsmouth, RI. This shallow, natural beach is located on the Sakonnet River at the end of Sandy Point Avenue and is great for families. Set during my favorite time of day…sunset.
Having a newborn at home is a time filled with lots of laughs, cries, and little sleep. What better way to commemorate those successes and misses than with a newborn shoot? I strive to create images that will be treasured heirlooms for the families to enjoy for generations. My goal is to make sure families not only walk away with beautiful photographs but also cherished memories of this special time in their lives.
With all the vulnerabilities that come with becoming a first, or even a second- or third-time parent, my top priority is to make sure everyone feels comfortable throughout the entire session. I met the Postemsky family as a referral from a good friend. Kaitylnn and Eric were rockstar first timers that truly adore their new sweet baby girl. I loved capturing these special memories for them.
