When people hear “documentary-style photography,” they sometimes imagine it means I just show up and snap whatever unfolds. No direction, no intention, just… vibes.
But here’s what I want you to know: unposed doesn’t mean unplanned.
There is purpose behind every frame I take.
There’s intention in the way I watch, wait, and move with your family’s rhythm not against it.
I don’t need you to stand still and smile. I don’t need perfection. What I need is your real life, just as it is: the toddler who insists on wearing rain boots in July. The way your baby twirls your hair while nursing. The chaos of getting out the door. The in-between glances, the held hands, the everyday moments that don’t seem like much until they’ve passed.
I walk into each session having studied the light in your home or the texture of the field we’re walking through. I pay attention to how your little ones interact, how your family touches, the way you naturally fall into each other. I’ve planned the timing, the flow, the prompts that feel more like play and less like posing.
Because while it may look unposed…
It is never without purpose.
Every photo is a love letter to your right-now.
To how it feels to mother in this season.
To the way your home holds your family’s story.
To the blink-and-it’s-gone beauty of ordinary moments.
So no, you won’t hear me say “cheese.”
You won’t find yourself in stiff, cookie-cutter poses.
But you will find truth. Movement. Meaning.
And the kind of images that feel like memories already.
Because unposed doesn’t mean accidental
It means authentic.
It means intentional.
It means you.
