Someday you'll miss this mess.
A day in the life session for families who want their real days remembered. No posing, no perfect house. Your people, as you are right now.
Apply for your session
A fly on the wall for your family's real day.
I come to your home for a few hours and photograph your day as it happens. Breakfast, the mess, nap time, bath time. No posing and no "everyone look at me."
I wait for the moments nobody sees. The way your toddler climbs into your lap. The sticky hands on the counter. Dad on the floor with the baby. These are the moments you'll want back when you're 70, your babies are grown, and you're looking back on the best days of your life.
Made for families who want real life over posed smiles.
This is for you if
- You have little ones and you want to remember this season the way it feels.
- You're the mom who is always behind the camera.
- You want heirloom photos to pass down to your grandbabies, so they can see what it was like for their parents growing up.
- You miss the feel of the old family photos from the 80s and 90s.
This is not for you if
- You want everyone looking at the camera.
- You want matching outfits and posed groups.
And that's okay. A day in the life session is slow, real and unposed by design.

Sarasota, Manatee and Ormond Beach. Live somewhere else? Ask me. I travel.
Don't deep clean. Really.
- Clear the big clutter and leave the rest. Lived-in is the point.
- Wear your mom uniform. Comfy clothes in soft colors, no big logos. Don't overthink outfits.
- Let the kids be kids. If your little one won't take off their dress-up clothes, great. That's who they are right now.
- Think about your rhythm. What do you normally do? Kids helping in the kitchen? Playing in the living room with Dad while you make pancakes? Do that.
- Let the light in. Open all the curtains and turn off the overhead lights.
You belong in these photos too.
If you're the one always holding the camera, you're probably missing from your own family's story. During a day in the life session, you don't have to pose or perform. You stay in the moment with your kids, and I quietly catch you in it. Years from now, your kids will want to see you there too.
“OMGOSH, crying! Thank you so much for these. I was bawling at the photos of the girls together, and then sobbing realizing I’m actually in candid photos. No words for how special this session is. I regret not doing this sooner at all the stages.”

The everyday moments you'll want back at 70.
They won't be this little for long. Let's keep this season for you, and for the grandbabies who will want to see it someday.
