Family Films

Family films are all about you and your family.  They're not about the perfectly prepped children or the immaculate housekeeping.  They are about you and the times that you want to remember forever.  The faint creak of a rocking chair as you rock your little one to sleep ... the delightful laughter of your little girl as she crawls into bed with you first thing in the morning.

I want to document your family as a trusted family friend ... therefore, don't prep your kids! :)  I want them to see me as just someone coming for a visit and honestly, before long, they will forget I even have a camera in my hand.  Think of me as a fly on the wall.  NOW, that being said, there are a few things you can do that will make your film more intimate without distracting from your family interactions.  #1 No stripes or logos on clothing  #2 If possible, have bare feet (shoes and socks NEVER film well)  and last but certainly not least... #3 No artificial light ... Seriously.  Don't worry if it seems a bit darker than normal, I promise I will adjust for it in camera.  

I won't really give you guidance or "pose" your session ... just feel free to do YOU!

I encourage a "tech-free" day (even for Mom & Dad).  Engage your little ones in activities that don't involve screens.

Don't worry about having a spotless house.  In fact, most kids enjoy helping Mom or Dad with small chores and if that's the case, it's a great addition to your family film.

Please fill out the following questionnaire in order to help me envision your session.  I'm looking forward to filming your life!
