Calgary Family Photographer — Authentic Storytelling, Not Posed Portraits
The giggles at bedtime, the messy mornings, the quiet snuggles… these are the moments you’ll never get back.
Let’s turn them into heirloom artwork your family will cherish for a lifetime.
👉 Meet Alison – Calgary Family Photographer
REAL LIFE. BEAUTIFULLY PHOTOGRAPHED.
Not posed. Not perfect. Just honest, everyday magic you’ll enjoy forever.
Hi, I’m Alison—a Calgary family photographer specializing in documentary family photography and Day in the Life sessions. I help busy Calgary moms capture the unscripted, meaningful moments of their family’s real life—not just how you look, but how it all feels. The result? Emotional photographs and heirloom-quality albums and wall art your children will see and remember every day.
While many of my sessions feature life with little ones, I also work with dog families—because four-legged companions are family too. If your story includes paws, toys, and tail wags, I’d be honoured to capture that too. View the Dog gallery here.
Your legacy, handcrafted.
You want more than just beautiful images — you want something lasting. Something your children will hold one day and say, “This was us. This was real.” That’s exactly what I help you create.

Why Choose Documentary Family Photography in Calgary?
Because life with kids is messy, beautiful, hilarious, and fleeting. This isn’t about perfect poses or matching outfits. It’s about telling the real story of your family—beautiful, emotional, and entirely yours. My sessions are designed to honour the chaos and the quiet—the hugs, the meltdowns, the everyday routines that make your family yours.
What to Expect From Your Calgary Family Photography Session
We’ll spend a relaxed morning or evening together, either at home or out and about doing something your family loves. I’ll blend into the background and document your real life as it unfolds. Think of me as a friend with a camera — but one who knows how to transform fleeting, everyday moments into powerful, lasting photographs.
Booking Your Family’s Session
The booking fee is only $600 and includes:
✔ A personalized pre-session consultation
✔ A documentary-style session in your home
✔ A professional design consultation to create your custom artwork
The Investment in Your Family’s Story
The families I work with understand that these photographs aren’t just for now — they’re for the future. Together, we’ll create something lasting: handcrafted albums, custom-framed prints, and bespoke wall galleries that bring your family’s story to life within your home.
Every piece is thoughtfully designed and made to endure — artwork that lives in your home today and becomes part of your family’s legacy for generations to come.
All artwork and digital images are purchased separately, and selections are made during your design consultation — once you’ve seen your photographs.
