STORY TELLING SESSIONS

My sessions are all about capturing the real moments, the laughter, the quiet glances, the in-between magic that tells your story. These aren’t just pictures; they’re memories that feel like you.

Every storytelling session includes:

1/ Transparent Pricing

No hidden costs—every session includes a full gallery of professionally edited images in both color and black & white, ready to download, share, and print.

2 / On-Location Experience

Whether it’s in your home, a favorite park, or a meaningful cityscape, I meet you where life happens to create images that feel personal and true to you.

3 / No Rushed Timelines

I don’t believe in strict time limits. We take the time needed to capture your story naturally, with space to breathe and be in the moment.

SLICE OF LIFE

Real life is better than perfectly posed.

Forget the matching outfits and the stress of trying to get everyone to sit still and smile. This is a focused, two-hour time capsule of your actual family. We pick a single routine—a messy backyard project, a Saturday pancake breakfast, or a chaotic bedtime—and I document the beautiful, unscripted reality of this specific season of your lives. No directing. No awkward lighting setups. Just honest storytelling.

What’s Included:

  • 2 Hours of Unobtrusive Coverage: The perfect amount of time to capture a focused family activity without anyone feeling drained or having to "perform."

  • 50+ High-Resolution Digital Images: A curated, storytelling gallery delivered straight to your inbox.

  • Signature Editing: Every image is individually processed with a timeless, editorial feel—including striking black-and-whites.

  • Personal Print Release: You own your memories. Download, share, and print them wherever you like.

  • Seamless Print Upgrades: Order museum-quality, matted wall art directly from your private gallery.

HALF DAY STORY

The ultimate narrative of your weekend.

This is the flagship documentary experience. In four hours, everyone completely forgets the camera is even there. I arrive when the kids wake up and stay through lunch, capturing the entire arc of a morning—the quiet moments, the tantrums, the video games, and the dog walks. You don't just get digital files; you get a tangible, premium archive of your family exactly as you are right now.

What’s Included:

  • 4 Hours of Unobtrusive Coverage: The exact sweet spot where everyone drops their guard. This allows me to capture the complete story of your morning, rather than just a single activity.

  • 100+ High-Resolution Digital Images: A comprehensive, storytelling gallery.

  • The Heirloom Album: A custom-designed, premium 10x10 hardcover photo album shipped directly to your door. You don't have to find time to print your photos; I do it for you.

  • Signature Editing: Every image is individually processed with a timeless, editorial feel.

  • Personal Print Release & Seamless Print Upgrades: Download your digital files or order museum-quality wall art directly from your gallery.

Investment: $1,200

DAY IN THE LIFE

The complete, unfiltered family archive.

The absolute pinnacle of documentary photography. This is an all-day, immersive experience covering your family's rhythm from the moment the kids jump out of bed until the house goes quiet at night. It is the ultimate historical record of your daily life. Years from now, this is how you will remember what it actually felt like to live in your home during this messy, beautiful chapter.

What’s Included:

  • 8 to 10 Hours of Unobtrusive Coverage: A complete dawn-to-dusk narrative. I am there for the morning coffee, the afternoon meltdowns, the dinner prep, and the bedtime stories.

  • 200+ High-Resolution Digital Images: The ultimate digital time capsule of your family's authentic dynamic.

  • The Master Album: A massive, custom-designed 12x12 premium hardcover album to preserve the full story of your day.

  • Wall Art Credit: A $100 credit toward museum-quality framed prints from your private gallery.

  • Signature Editing & Personal Print Release: Download your high-resolution files or order additional prints with a single click.

Understanding the difference

Posed or Documentary?

Most families don't know documentary photography exists — they only know the alternative. Here's how to figure out which one is right for you.

Traditional / Posed

What TK Photography does
📋
The Experience
Directed. You're told where to stand, how to look, when to smile. It can feel a little like a job interview.
🌿
The Experience
You just live your life. I follow with a camera. No directions, no "say cheese," no interruptions.
🌳
Location
Usually a park, field, or neutral backdrop — somewhere "photogenic" that has nothing to do with your real life.
🏡
Location
Your home. Your backyard. Your favorite Saturday morning spot. The places that are actually yours.
🖼️
The Photos
Everyone looks great. Everyone is smiling at the camera. You can't quite remember what happened that day.
💛
The Photos
Your youngest's laugh mid-bite. The chaos of getting everyone's shoes on. The quiet moment before the day starts.
😬
Kids & Cooperation
Requires kids to sit still and look at a stranger. Results vary wildly depending on the day and the child.
🤸
Kids & Cooperation
Works better the less cooperative your kids are. The chaos is the point — it's where the real photos live.
👗
Getting Ready
Coordinate outfits, iron everything, prep the kids. Treat it like a small production.
☕
Getting Ready
Wear what you'd normally wear. Make your normal Saturday breakfast. I'll arrive and we just… start.
📸
What You Keep
A beautiful family portrait. Great for holiday cards and grandparents. A record of how you looked.
📖
What You Keep
A record of how you lived. The textures, the routines, the love that doesn't show up in a posed smile.

Posed photography is a great fit if you want...

  • A classic family portrait for the living room wall
  • A specific, planned holiday card image
  • A more controlled, predictable set of photos
  • Something to frame for grandparents right away
  • A short, contained session — 30–60 minutes
  • Professional headshots alongside family photos

Documentary is a great fit if you feel...

  • Like your family is impossible to photograph — too wild, too unpredictable
  • That posed photos never quite look like your actual family
  • Like this season of life is flying by and you want to capture it honestly
  • That the morning chaos is actually your favorite part of the day
  • Like you want photos you'll cry over in 20 years, not just hang on a wall
  • Ready to stop performing for the camera and just live
Sound like your kind of session?

No posing. No matching outfits. Just your real family, exactly as you are.
