Half Day In a Life Session with the M Family | Crystal Lake Family Photographer

Storytelling Family Photography

In the heart of every family lies a story, a narrative that speaks to the essence of who we are as a family. The moments of joy, the trials and tribulations, the unbreakable bonds that hold us together through it all, define it.

During a pre-session consultation we talk about your current life, your routines, your challenges and what makes your family different and unique. We discuss your favorite things to eat, funny or weird things your kids do, where do you hang out etc.

All of this helps to create a general outline of your visual story. It helps me to know what to pay attention to. It is also an opportunity to get to know each other a bit, so when I get to meet you in person it’s not too awkward.

Half Day In The Life Family Session

I spent about 5 hours with the M Family. They are family of 3 and a dog . We went to a local park and hang out around the house. The daughter was about to turn one, so her parents decided to have a garden cake smash session. I’m going to have a separate blog post of that. It was just a lovely day with a lovely family, filled with “ordinary” moments that hold the magic of life in them.

Don’t waste another day. Time is passing by so fast. The only constant thing in life is change. Let’s capture your life as it is now before it slips away.
