Your real life is emotional and unposed

Your life is not boring. It’s full of scraped knees, messy rooms,
piles of dishes, tears, joy, playgrounds, love.
A spectacular mix of all of that on any given day.

That’s what makes family documentary photography so incredible:
It’s a snapshot of your actual real life that you’re living every day.
Not posed. Not boring.

My full-day documentary sessions capture your honest, unscripted, real story.
Let’s document your family in the Windsor and Southwestern Ontario areas.

What is a Real Life Session?

This is what a documentary session looks like:

Earning your family’s trust is my first goal.
Get started early, end after bedtime.
We do one to two activities to diversify the memories.
I disappear and become one of the family.
Your children will inspire the day. I’ll observe them and following their lead.
We will capture the honest, true story of your life.

Just want to hang out for an hour?We can do that!

Pick somewhere important to you — your favourite park or beach in the Windsor and Southwestern Ontario area — and we’ll go have an hour of fun.

Adding a fun activity — like getting ice cream — makes for great memories
These sessions have more direction from me. My posing is very natural.

Let me document your beautiful life

Your Kids Will Love Me

I pride myself on being an easy going person who connects with others where they’re at. Being from Windsor, in Southwestern Ontario helps.

That ease makes sessions fly by, because I blend in so easily and make everyone feel at ease.

Clients always tell me how much their kids loved me and want me to hang out again.

Kids are honest and unfiltered. This is the perfect work for me.

“The boys are still talking about Miss Sarah, they had a great time.”
