a year told in real time

Year in the Life

This is a documentary experience that follows your family through an entire year of life. It’s about noticing change as it happens and preserving what everyday life truly looks and feels like.

four Wildly honest sessions, one Family story

This experience is built around presence and continuity, allowing your story to be seen across time rather than in a single moment.

I believe in the value of long-from journalism. That your story is actually longer than just one session. Four times throughout the year, once in each season, I document your family in places and times that feel important to you. Your routines, your traditions. The subtle changes that often go unnoticed in the day-to-day form a fuller, more complete reflection of your family’s story.

A boy wearing a helmet riding a mountain bike on a trail covered with leaves in a residential neighborhood, with trees and houses in the background.

By the end of the year, you receive more than a collection of images. You forever hold a meaningful record of how your life felt in motion.

As the year unfolds, you begin to see patterns, growth, and change in a way that can only be understood over time. The final collection becomes a visual record of your family’s year. Honest, unposed, and deeply personal.

The Process

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR EXPERIENCE:

The process for working together begins with a phone, in-person, or virtual conversation where we discuss your family’s values, rhythms, and culture.

We plan the details of your session, including location and investment, then connect again the week before to ensure you feel ready.

4.

On the day of your session, you live your life as it is, while I document your story with care, capturing the moments as they naturally unfold.

Within two weeks, your fully edited gallery is delivered to your email, ready for you to download, print, and turn into lasting heirlooms.

  • Yes—I’m available for travel and love documenting families in meaningful places. Reach out for details on availability and locations.

  • It might feel a little different at first, but that fades quickly. I spend time with you, interact naturally, and before long it feels less like a session and more like someone simply there with you.

  • That’s completely normal. There’s no posing, pressure, or performing—just your family being yourselves while I document what naturally unfolds.

  • If you’re drawn to honest, unposed storytelling, this is likely a great fit. Browsing the portfolio, journal, and client experiences will give you a feel for the work—and I’m always happy to connect if you want to talk it through.

  • This isn’t about perfect photos—it’s about preserving your real life with intention and experience behind it. These images become something you return to, not just now, but for years to come.
