Your family isn’t like anyone else’s; your photographs shouldn’t be, either.

I believe that documentary photographs are the most authentic, honest way to create a story in every image.

If it’s true that a picture tells a thousand words, imagine all your stories that are just waiting to be told.

Step 1

If you like open and honest displays of emotion, we should chat, there’s no obligation! If we’re in sync, we’ll book your date and discuss the details of your session.  

Step 2

On our scheduled date, I’ll be there to photograph the portraits at the synagogue, then onto the party where I photograph the great time you had and the meaningful relationships you have. And because your family is as individual as you are, I offer 3 pricing options.

 

 

AM I THE ONE FOR YOU? 

I don’t simply photograph the exchanges between your family that happen in an instant; I document the emotion behind them. 

To create your dream photographs, I quietly move in the background to show you the big and small elements of your family that make it uniquely yours. This allows you to be yourself—and to be perfectly at ease. 

And it shows in your photographs.

"Julie has a gift for breathing life into real moments. Her pictures have a photojournalistic quality, but they also bring out emotion so beautifully. And she’s incredibly lovely to work with!"

Documentary Family Packages 

Step 1

If you like open and honest displays of emotion, we should chat, there’s no obligation! If we’re in sync, we’ll book your date and discuss the details of your session.  


Step 2

 On our scheduled date, I’ll be there to photograph your family from the moment you wake up to the moment your kid’s head hits the pillow— or somewhere in between. And because your family is as individual as you are, I offer three packages.


 

All packages include a custom-designed hardcover photo book

 

 

Family Sessions

 

$500

The Short Story
is 2 hours long and gives you all the goods, just a little less time with me.

$1200

The Half Day Story
is 4 hours long and perfect if you want to see how you interact with each other in a longer timeframe (plus a few more goodies).

$2000

The Day in the Life
is for the family who wants it all: maximum coverage and even more goodies (my favorite!).

 
 
 

What You Get

After your session, we’ll work together to help you choose your favorites.

Then I’ll design an album just for you.
