Family Portraits (currently unavailable)
The most fundamental story in our lives is the story of our family. It shapes our habits, morals, and values. Our grandparents used to share tales from their childhood, and our parents showed us a few faded, black-and-white photos—imprints of the past.
Today, we have the tools and opportunities to preserve reality, to create lasting memories—not just for ourselves, but for our children as well.
Documentary Family Portrait is a professional multimedia genre that steps away from the artificial world of studio photography and turns its focus toward real life—the reality of an ordinary, yet uniquely yours, day.
It tells your story: the memory of getting ready in the morning, the chaos of rushing to school, the moment when daddy arrives home from work, or the gentle lullaby before bedtime. It can almost make you smell the cake you baked together or recall the sock you found under a pile of toys after the laundry was done.
How are family portraits made
These behind-the-scenes photos were taken during a family portrait session (thank you, Annamarie!). As you can see, I work with a minimal set of equipment, as I believe it's essential to remain unobtrusive and stay out of your way. The best results come when you go about your day just as you normally would—doing everything as if I weren’t there. I’ll be with you throughout the day, and I invite you to be part of the artistic process—a shared experience of creating a memory worth remembering.
The final still and motion picture materials will be delivered within 30 days of the photo shoot. I dedicate this time to carefully post-process the raw footage, a step that’s just as important as the shoot itself. I’ll select the most authentic moments, subtle gestures, and meaningful scenes to craft a visual story that captures how things truly were. This process includes choosing the right background music, editing, and color grading—ensuring you receive a beautiful, high-quality result that you’ll be happy to revisit for years to come.
