Newborn + family photography sessions

What is documentary style photography?

Yes it’s great to have everyone smiling at the camera. But I’m more excited to get the tickle before the smile. Or the gentle hug when your child was feeling nervous. Documentary or lifestyle photography brings love, texture and storytelling to your pictures — capturing the moments that make your family special.
