Day In The Life Photography
Calgary-based documentary family photography that captures you and your little munchkins right here, right now. Because they won’t stay little forever.
Take it from a Mom who’s been there. The real moments are what you’ll miss the most.
You deserve to EXIST in your family’s story. For yourself. And for those who love you.
After the stages of childhood are over, only your photographs remain.
WHO I SERVE
I am here for the passionate parents of children and/or dogs (ie: my “DOG-umentary” families). If you are proud parents of either HUMAN or CANINE children, then my camera is ready for you!
You will be so happy you invested in great photography that your family will treasure FOREVER.
“BUT MY FAMILY’S SO BORING!”
Your family life is SUPER INTERESTING to me. Many of my client’s favourite photographs came from moments that were totally mundane and could not have been planned. Unscripted life is THE BEST!
I PROMISE:
You can have incredible, gallery-worthy, timeless photographs that your family will LOVE forever, WITHOUT the stress of posing, dressing up, or staging anything.

Investment and Process
DAY IN THE LIFE SESSIONS
The alternative to the family portrait
Ditch the scripted moments and capture your family’s memories authentically with a Day in the Life session. I'll seamlessly integrate myself into your daily routine, documenting both the planned moments and the beautiful surprises that unfold.
Sessions are 4 hours in length (half-day) and you get to choose either the morning (9am - 1pm) OR the evening (4pm - 8pm).
Alison Lapczuk Photography pricing is similar to a traditional portrait studio. There is a non-refundable Sitting Fee of $600 + tax that secures your date for your documentary family photography session and allows the shoot planning process to begin. That fee includes the following:
Photoshoot Planning Session
Half-day documentary photoshoot in and around your home
Fully guided Reveal & Order, including design consultation for custom products.
Digital files and printed products are purchased separately at your Reveal & Order appointment.
About 2-4 weeks after your shoot, we will meet again either in person or on zoom to have your Reveal & Order Session. This is when you will see all your images for purchase, and choose your Collection!
If you would like more info we can schedule a consult at the link below! Just to give you an idea people usually spend anywhere from $3000 - $9000 just depending on what package and products they choose.
-
This is your Design Session where we will learn more about your family and what’s important to you now. We can begin with some ideas about how you would like to enjoy your family photographs (albums, wall art?).
-
I come to your home and spend half a day following your family through your typical routines, bearing witness to your reality, all the while capturing moments you will treasure forever. There’s no posing - just be yourselves. It’s all about your real life - be present, enjoy the ups and downs, knowing that this stage of your life will not be forgotten.
-
Thanks to Steps 1 & 2, this part will be easy! This is when you get to view your images for the first time and we will fit them into the book and/or wall gallery that we planned for at your Planning Appointment. This is a fully guided experience where you get to make the final decisions and I take care of all the design and ordering work for you!
-
The best part! If you added on custom wall art and/or heirloom books, you get to swing by and pick up the most amazing done-for-you artwork you’ve ever seen, featuring YOUR beautiful life.
THE BEST TIME TO DOCUMENT YOUR FAMILY IS NOW.
I LOVE showing Moms & Dads (just like you!) how…
… loved they are
… hard they work
… funny life can be
… how much better it is when you embrace life as it comes.
LEGACY ARTWORK
Seeing your photographs as a tangible thing that you can hold in your hands in an emotional experience that I want you to have.
Do you want photographs so beautiful, so well made, that one day even your grandchildren can appreciate them?
I invite you to the full documentary experience where you get to enjoy your family’s story in your very own custom book and on the walls of your home every day.
READY TO DIVE IN?
Awesome! I can’t wait to hear all about you and your family!
I’m happy to chat and answer all your questions.
If things feel right, we’ll get you booked in!
Hey, I’m Alison. Nice to see YOU here!
As a parent, you know that life with babies / kids / pets changes so fast that we feel like we’re missing it.
That’s where I can help! Documentary family photography gives you that ability to re-live those precious moments forever.
If you hate posing, you’re going to looove this!
Let me ask you, what do you want to remember from this life?
Is it that one day you all dressed up in matching outfits and posed in front of some trees at Confederation Park in the fall?
Or have you come to realize that ANY DAY OF YOUR PRECIOUS LIFE where you are together as a family, doing your thing, being YOURSELVES is what you really want to remember?
Routines change year over year, don’t they? They change and they never come back - gone forever.
Babies turn into toddlers, who turn into kids, who turn into 13 year olds who are starting to shave their moustache and call you ‘bruh’. (ahem, speaking from experience).
One thing I know for sure?
You won’t regret doing this.
