Documentary Session
“Amy finds beauty in everything she captures, especially mothers with their children. She was very giving of her time and energy to provide us with unique and beautiful photographs to capture an amazing moment in our lives.”
— Trupti B.
What is a documentary session?
Documentary-style photo sessions allow me to capture the pure, unfiltered joy of childhood and families in a natural setting. These photos are created with minimal guidance, direction, or interaction to produce something natural, yet magical. I am simply there, present, and ready to photograph what is unfolding.
These images are timeless as the personality of the subject is able to shine through. The images are not overly edited to retain the authenticity of that moment in time.
The session does not involve props or staging, as the goal is to capture your family in a natural setting, typically in the comfort of your home.
Featured Session I
The images featured here are a glimpse into the kinds of photographs that typically come from a session. They reflect the flow of the day—natural interactions, quiet pauses, playful moments, and genuine connections.
Every family looks different, every session feels different, but the common thread is honesty. These samples show you the range of what I tend to capture: the details, the movement, the unposed in-between frames, and, if you’d like, a classic portrait of everyone together.
Think of this as your preview—what’s possible when we let the moments guide us.
Featured Session II
What you see here is an example of the photographs that often emerge from a session. They aren’t staged or scripted. They’re shaped by the atmosphere of the day and the connections unfolding in front of me.
These images highlight the kinds of moments I tend to capture: the subtle gestures, the bursts of laughter, the stillness between movements, and the closeness that happens naturally when people feel at ease.
Each family brings their own rhythm, and every gallery carries its own tone, but together they create a record of something timeless, of how it felt to be in this season of your life.
Featured Session III
This series is less about smiling for the camera and more about presence. The photographs reflect the atmosphere of the day—the textures of movement, the quiet gestures, and the fleeting glances that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Each frame functions almost like a study of connection, showing not just how you looked but how it felt to be in that space, at that time. Together, they create a body of work that is both raw and intentional, a visual record of your story.
Session Details
The session fee is $2000. This includes 1 hour of dedicated shoot time, giving us the space to create with intention while keeping the experience relaxed and natural.
Afterward, you’ll receive the full set of finished digital images from your session—the photographs that best reflect the story we captured together. These will include a range of moments: the subtle details, the in-between interactions, and the portraits that anchor it all.
If you’d like to turn your images into heirloom pieces, wall art, and albums are also available for an additional fee.
