Family documentary photography transcends mere imagery; it’s about unscripted storytelling.
Through authentic moments and genuine emotions, documentary work produces images that deeply resonate with how we really live. It can evoke empathy, nostalgia, and connection while reflecting on our own experiences and relationships.
It isn’t just candids! Family documentary photography often involves thoughtful composition, lighting, and timing to create visually compelling images. It is truly artful and offers a personal perspective on your human experience, celebrating the beauty and complexity of family life.

“I can’t say enough good things about Jen. I have always had a hard time with traditional posed family portraits. I never know how to coordinate the outfits, how to feel natural in front of the camera.
Jen just captured us as we were. And our pictures showed the essence of who we are as a family. She played with my girls, and just gave us the most wonderful experience I could have asked for. All this before we even got the pictures, which were STUNNING!
If you want pictures of your family that show the real you, hire Jen.”
