YEAR IN THE LIFE

Your family’s story creatively captured over twelve months

Photography for families who want to remember all the milestones.

Even though sometimes it doesn’t feel like it, kids grow fast. Alarmingly fast. One minute you’re wiping their butts, the next they’re too embarrassed to be around you.

I’m bringing a fun way to photograph your family’s wild life!
Year in the Life sessions document your family exactly as you are over the course of 12 months. This is a monthly subscription that celebrates all your little moments –the chaos, the mundane and especially the unscripted, honest, ‘rip your heart out’ love filled moments.

Let’s remember them all! The best part is, at the end of your 12 months you’ll get to take home a beautiful album including all the beautiful memories we capture.

LET’S CHAT

TELL ME MORE

Over the course of a year, we’ll photograph your family 4 times during different seasons or a time that you want to document. We will capture a mix of everyday life and meaningful moments both in the home and out in nature.

We will set up our sessions every three months or on a decided date. At the end of this project you will get to take home a beautiful album that documents your families story. Each session builds on the last, creating a collection of images that feel exactly like your family. No cheesy portraits or matching outfits please. This is your real life. We will of course get some natural portraits but for the most part it’s going to be focused on your daily routines and the special moments you want to remember.

Year in the Life is perfect for all ages, but here are a few ideas that I think fit this project best:

Bump to baby to first steps – the full first year
Families who want to document each season of childhood
Capturing family routines as kids grow and change
Life transitions: moving, homeschooling, returning to work, blending families
Your teenager finishing school
Camping or hanging at the lake
Working on your property or ranch – how does this look
Intergenerational reunions and relationships

Year in the Life is a limited offering each year. I take on only a small number of families so I can thoughtfully document each story.

This is for families who

Value storytelling over perfectly ‘pretty’ portraits

Your kids rarely sit still for long and you’re nervous they’ll act a little spicy during the shoot

You’ve been wanting professional photos for so long but know it’s a big upfront cost

Have thousands of family photos on your phone but still haven’t gotten around to printing an album

For all the parents that only have blurry and crappy photos as evidence they were there

Hate the idea of dressing up in matching outfits and worried your partner won’t be into it

If you found yourself nodding along to most of these… this is your sign.

GOT SOME QUESTIONS?

I have a documentary style that is evocative, nostalgic and joyful. I capture your story as honestly as I can. Which means I hardly give any direction and build my sessions around your typical activities and daily rituals. However, I’m not a strict documentary photographer and will at times gently guide you or pose you if needed.

Because we want to remember how we actually lived!
How we laughed, cried and loved one another so fiercely.

Because we want to let go of this unrealistic expectation to be perfect and to act as if we have it all figured out!

Because we want to teach our kids that it’s ok to be themselves and to celebrate and honour their truth.

Because, and I’m speaking to all the parents out there that are always behind the lens. You are the most important person to your kids an you deserve to be a part of their legacy. You deserve to be in all the photographs, too!

First of all, everyone’s kid is a dick sometimes and the behaviours that trigger you probably aren’t something I’d notice. In fact this will only add to your story while allowing me to document an authentic experience. Some I’ve my tried and tested cures are snack (always), adding water and getting outside. But if your child is showing that they’re really bothered by the camera I will just give them a bit of space and move onto something else until they’re more comfortable.

This is one of the best parts. At the end of the year we will turn your sessions into a story-driven album – a beautiful time capsule of that chapter of life.

One year. One story. Something your family will look back on for decades.

All sessions are focused on what’s actually happening in your life right now.

This might be:
• A slow morning at home in a light filled kitchen
• Playing by the river or at the lake
• A mountain adventure
• campfires and marshmallows
• Bedtime stories
• Backyard chaos

The goal is to document the moments that will one day feel the most nostalgic. And most importantly, to allow your kids to have fun.

I don’t mind rescheduling your session if needed because, life happens, kids get sick, the weather sucks etc etc. I’d prefer everyone to be well, happy and dry. I only ask for 48 hoursnotice.
