One Hour Family Documentary Session: The G Family

In the past, I’ve been hesitant to take on one hour family documentary sessions.  My reasons?  Kids take a while to relax and be less “camera aware” with a stranger behind the lens.  Parents’ actions are influenced by the fact that there is a camera capturing them (and let’s face it, most of us are worried about capturing our good sides and avoiding a double chin).  And while I still believe that the longer I spend with a family, the more “moments” are captured, I’ve been so happy with the moments captured and stories told in my one hour family documentary sessions.  

When this mom (who also happens to be my boys’ FAVORITE preschool teacher) reached out to me about photographing her family, a one hour session was the one that made the most sense.  This time of year, families are busy with school, sports, activities, and all of the day to day errands and chores that make scheduling anything a bit of a nightmare.  She really wanted to capture their family’s newest love: an adorable puppy named Nero.  In between dance and soccer, I spent an hour with the G family and Nero, capturing this family doing what they do at home, playing outside in their backyard, hanging out with kids in their rooms, and watching them work with Nero on his puppy training (including a brief walk in the neighborhood).  

A one hour documentary session is the perfect way to capture moments as a family, and you can absolutely see that from my session with the G family.  And in fact, I will be offering a limited number of one hour sessions with special pricing for Winter + Spring 2020.  Contact me for more information!
