Documentary Family Photography in Calgary: A Day in the Life of Real Moments
Tired of stiff, posed family portraits? With authentic family photography, there’s no need for matching outfits or perfect smiles. This style captures the real, unscripted moments of your everyday life—so you can hold onto what childhood really felt like.
Documentary family photography is not about staging or faking it. It’s about capturing real moments that naturally occur between family members.
What is documentary family photography?
As a Calgary family photographer specializing in documentary sessions, my goal is to photojournalistically document your family as you are—no direction, no interference. Think ‘day-in-the-life’.
No matching clothes required. No forced smiles. Just be yourselves.
What does a DAY-IN-THE-LIFE-SESSION look like?
A documentary session at your home is pretty much like having a friend over. It’s very relaxed and stress-free.
Your day, your story. Whether we stay home or explore your favourite spots, I’ll document the moments that make your family uniquely you. Maybe it’s breakfast time chaos, playing board games, or snuggling up to read a book. Or we can venture outside and document a family hike, a trip to the park, or a visit to the farmer’s market.
You will get to plan your day with me ahead of time on our pre-session consult. Understanding your family dynamic and routines will help me to create the best experience for you.
WHY CHOOSE THIS STYLE OVER TRADITIONAL PORTRAITS?
The beauty of authentic family photography is that it’s natural and stress-free. I’ll be there to capture the moments that matter to you. Maybe it’s a sibling hug, a silly face, or a quiet moment of contemplation. There is beauty in your every day and I know how to find it.
