What is Documentary Family Photography?

Why I choose to shoot the real moments, the family exactly as they are – this is Documentary Family Photography: It is a gift to our future selves: to the parents who will look back at these groundhog days of tedious, repetitive tasks and a role that often feels very much under-appreciated (especially between the hours of 5pm-8pm!). We will look at our prints and photo books and realise that motherhood, parenthood, really is the most important job in the world.

The Tate Modern Gallery defines Documentary Family Photography as: “…a style of photography that provides a straightforward and accurate representation of people, places, objects and events”.

And so my sessions are completely unscripted. No need to dress up or be coordinated in your outfits. No need to make the bed or tidy the toys. The more real it is the more you it is. A day in your life as they say.

I spend time getting to know your family then I photograph the little things you do daily but might not think much about – making breakfast with little helpers, a trip to the supermarket, or bath, teeth and story time with kisses on freshly washed hair.

Honest little moments you sometimes wish would pass and at other times wish would never end. I don’t want to forget a thing but I know without my photos I will.
