What is a Family SoulStory Session?
Every family has its own unique expressions of love. What might feel like an ordinary morning of blueberry pancakes, sticky fingers & sunday morning giggles, are really the extraordinary moments that tell the unique story of this love. These sweet little details of the ins and outs of daily life + the connections you all share are what make up the magic soulprint of who your family is, and are the moments that I believe tell the true story of what your family is all about. Invite me into your beautiful life and allow me to document this magic for you. I will reflect back to you in a love poem of pictures what this precious moment in time looks like, feels like, in all its quirky delight.
What does the SoulStory of your family look like?
How will you capture my family’s SoulStory in one afternoon?
A little insight into how this all works…
01/ Family SoulMapping session
I want to hear what is special about this particular moment in time for your family and why you would like it documented. Once our contract is signed, I’ll send you a SoulStory questionnaire to get all the details. Then in our 30 minute SoulMapping call we’ll discuss what lights up your family, and together we’ll brainstorm a day I can drop into that feels authentic and inspired so I can capture your genuine connections and record all the little details of this moment in time.
02/ Documenting your SoulStory
All the planning is done! This is the time for you to just BE together and have fun! Nothing to get right, nothing can go wrong. It’s all you, every perfect messy detail. That is what makes your life beautifully uniquely you. I show up and join you in a moment in time as your Soul storyteller.
03/ Gallery Preview
Your viewing session is a time to celebrate all the joy and quirkiness of your family’s SoulStory! About two weeks after our shoot day we will hop on a zoom call where you will be able to see all the fabulous images from our session. It is at this time we will discuss which are your favorites and how you would like to display them. Your private online gallery will be available for 30 days from our zoom call, during this time you can order your products, share the link with family & friends, and download your image files!
Invite me in and I will show you what your beautiful life looks like.
Whether it is for an hour or I come along for the wild ride of a whole day, I will capture the laughter, joy and all the quiet moments in between that make up the fabric of your beautiful life. And then show it back to you in a love poem of pictures.

My Family Soul Story…
I have a snapshot I took in a passing window of my son and I which sits in a frame by my bedside. I love this picture of River and me. Not because it’s the best picture that I ever took, but because River is 6’5’’ now and towers above me and this moment in time brings me back to how sweet it felt when he snuggled right onto my heart as he hugged me. And how beautiful his wild white long blonde tresses were as part of his then signature style which he lopped off a few weeks later along his road to self discovery. This moment would have been forgotten in the whirlwind of parenting, but because this one was captured I get to relive that crisp sunny winter afternoon and all the soulful feelings that arise inside me when I see it.
We all grab our cameras to document the milestones, and these are wonderful to have! But how do you want to remember your time spent with your kids? What are the feelings that you want to bottle and never forget? And who is documenting these for you?
Invite me into a day of your life, and let me capture your ordinary, extraordinary SoulStory.
