Unscripted. Unposed. Unforgettable.

These aren’t just photography packages—they’re an investment in the moments you never want to forget.

Traditional family photos are beautiful, no doubt! We have lovely posed photos of our own family. 

However, when we look back on them I often remember how much convincing it took to get my children to "behave" or look happy. I remember how cranky my husband was that the photographer asked him to do something that didn't feel natural for him to do. I remember feeling a bit of emotional exhaustion...like a lot of pressure was riding on the line to get pictures that I loved. 

Things do not have to be this way!

Documentary sessions take the stress out of your photoshoots.

All you have to do is just be you and love on your family.

Documentary photoshoots with me feel effortless, natural, and completely you, so you can focus on making memories while I preserve them forever.

This is your life story, too. The love only YOU can give, the memories only YOU can be part of. Yet how often do you hide behind the lens and quietly vanish from the very moments you’re preserving?

What if you could be present in your one, beautiful life, knowing that all those special moments were being preserved for you, and you were woven into every memory?

And here’s where time starts slipping away:
These are the only days they will be this small.
This wild. This beautifully imperfect.

Tomorrow, they will already be a little older.

So don’t wait. Step into the story now—while their giggles are still infectious and their little hands still reach for yours.

Your love is too big, too bold, too precious to stay outside the frame.

It starts with a moment.

A little girl, barefoot in the backyard, sitting in a laundry basket as you hang clothes on the line. Her giggle fills the spring air. She tugs on your skirt and says, “Look, Mommy!”

But Mommy? She’s usually behind the camera—capturing the magic but missing from the frame.

That little girl? She grows up. The baby voice fades. She outgrows the basket. And years later, flipping through old albums, she sees nostalgic photos of her skinned knees, her messy face, her snacking out of the dog bowl… but where is her mother holding her hand during her first steps, laughing at her messy face, and catching her in the act of eating dog food?

Here’s the truth:
Your child doesn’t care if your hair is messy or if dishes are piled in the sink.
They just want to see you.

To remember how you held them, laughed with them, loved them so fiercely it left a mark.

Time won't wait for you. Let's preserve that love today.

"Ever since our photo shoot with Danica, my kids have been extra huggy and sweet with me and my husband.

Danica does so much more than photograph and make videos of families… she is connecting people to their loved ones in a really special way. Thank you, Danica!!!"
