Documentary Family Photography


As a documentary family photographer I offer natural and relaxed family photography in your home, garden or somewhere that you love to go as a family. Instead of setting up posed photos, I focus on capturing real moments that unfold naturally without the need to interfere and constantly direct. Family photos don't need to be about perfection and matching outfits. The best photos are ones that are relaxed and candid and capture you and your family interacting in a real way. The cheeky grins, the biggest hugs and the silly faces.

I will capture them all!

Picture your perfect family day!


Let's make a plan on what you want me to photograph. I can come to your home or a place that is special to you. I will always make sure to get family portraits taken first and then its time to have some fun! Having some activities planned will ensure for more spontaneous moments and these are what I love to photograph. If its raining no problem! We can go inside and capture some of the things you like to do together as a family, maybe there is a star baker in the family or a musician or simply you may just want to snuggle up on the couch and i will record all these special moments.
