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.

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.
