A Year in the Life

Homegrown. Photo-documentary. Intentional. Child-led. Joyous & nostalgic. Rooted in the here and now. Capturing the small, everyday moments. Memorializing the growth & the milestones. Prioritizing process over progress. Documenting your becoming.

One Year of You.

We so often have people there to capture "the big moments," but what about the little ones that make up our day-to-day?

Here's the scoop:

  • This session is for Bay Area or San Diego based families.

  • This is a photo-documentary, family "storytelling" session, for whatever "family" means to you.

  • I will spend 2 unscripted hours with you, 3 times in a calendar year (6 hours total) where I will photograph and honor the moments and connections that you have built with your loved ones.

  • This is a space to express yourself in any way that feels true to you. Maybe you have a dance party. Maybe you want to remember story time. Whatever it is, this is an opportunity to create images together that, when you look back on them, will hit your gut with feelings of joy, resonance, and nostalgia.

  • Cost: $2,100 total over the course of a year. It requires a deposit of $600 to book. You then pay $500 before each session after the deposit, or I am happy to discuss an alternative payment plan to accommodate your needs.

Why book this session?

Well first and foremost, this is one of my favorite packages. Over the past few years of running Rainbow Road Studios, I have had the opportunity to document the deep love shared by the many families I have had the opportunity to work with. Reflecting back on these sessions, the things that brought me back to myself and this craft - as someone who fell deeply in love with photo-documentary perspectives in photography - were the playful, everyday moments filled with raw emotion, connection, and presence - the here and now - that I knew my families would look back on fondly.
