unposed, nostalgic & authentic
family photos, PRESERVING YOUR FAMILY, exactly as you are
SHANNON-MAY
Why Documentary
Each day your kiddos are doing
adorable things, reaching new milestones, and growing up way too fast. You want to document the simple moments as much as the big ones, but you also want to be in those photos with your children as you document their childhood.
And thirty years from now, your kids will be glad you were too.
I love nostalgic images and am inspired by the connections that parents have with their children. I love when parents focus on being in the moment with their kids and how this brings out genuine smiles, laughter and moments of tenderness that no amount planning or posing can make happen.
When I photograph your family I imagine your kids remembering their childhood through these photographs. This idea guides me as I ask, "what will mean the most to them when they are grown?"
This is why I believe so much in the importance of candidly documenting your family exactly as you are, and unposed.
