There’s Nothing Better Than
As a Mom, when you think about traditional family portraits, does it make you think of all the stress and tears, of trying to find matching clothes, get the kids out of the house to make the appointment time? Does you feel the pressure to look “instagram worthy”? Do you feel the pressure to get your hair and makeup done (with false eyelashes added for some reason???)
How about forgetting all that nonsense?
Your real life is PERFECTLY IMPERFECT. I’m dedicated to capturing real family life so that parents like you can transport yourself back to what really matters: your actual memories with your family.
Real Life
Hi! I’m Alison
Your family is EVERYTHING and you treasure the little moments.
You wish you could slow it all down, bottle it up somehow.
Let me help you with that. As a Mom of two boys myself, I know how you feel.
I’ve been documenting families in Calgary (and beyond) since 2017.
There’s no posing, no dressing up or makeup session. This is your life - you’re already doing it!
If you’d like to see your REAL LIFE transformed into art, I am here to help. Schedule a time for us to chat or drop me a line at alison@alisonlapczuk.com. I can’t wait to hear all about your family!
xoxo Alison
MY FAMILY
Want photographs that will take you back?
I can help! I specialize in documentary family photography, which is based in the fundamentals of photojournalism. I’ve spent many years honing this craft of careful observation, anticipation of moments and compelling compositions that evoke emotion and story.
From experience, here’s what I know:
No family is boring.
Childhood is magical.
Moms and Dads give it everything they’ve got.
It goes by too fast.
You’ll be SO GLAD you did this!
I’m ready when you are!
How It Works
-
Consultation
We will meet over video call so I can learn all about you and your family. This is where the vision for your photography experience begins!
-
Session
The documentary photography session is all about your family, whether you are at home or bopping around town, or adventuring somewhere you truly love. Expect to feel totally relaxed - there’s no posing or outfit changes or forced grins. Just be yourselves, live your life, I’ll take care of your memories.
-
The Big Reveal
Your personal Reveal & Ordering session is where your images will be unveiled for you. Together we will curate the collection that will brighten your home and become lifelong family treasures. Whether it’s in a book or a portrait box or a stunning gallery custom designed for your walls, your memories are about to come to life.
