Be in the Photos.
Capture the Year.
Keep the Memories.

Because your family deserves more than a phone

Begin your year

Your camera roll holds hundreds of fleeting moments, but are you in any of them? The Year in the Life Documembership documents your family all year long and turns those moments into a curated heirloom you’ll actually keep, share, and cherish.

Too Many Photos.
Not Enough Time.

And you're missing from most of them.

Smartphones capture everything, but the essence of your family story often goes unseen. Between school mornings, activities, and routines, parents are rarely in the frame. The Year in the Life Documembership ensures you’re not only documenting your children’s lives but that you’re preserving your presence, too.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Feeling awkward in the beginning is completely normal. Sessions are relaxed and documentary in nature. There’s no posing or performing. I photograph what naturally unfolds, and families quickly forget the camera is even there.

  • Life happens. Sessions are designed to be flexible and work around real family schedules. Rescheduling is simple, and your year remains thoughtfully documented.

  • Nothing beyond what you’d normally do as a family. I’ll guide you when helpful, but nothing needs to be staged or prepared. Whether it’s a snowy ski day or a quiet afternoon of board games, everyday moments are always welcome.

  • After your final session, your heirloom album or image box is thoughtfully designed to reflect the full arc of your year and delivered in January of the following year.

  • Yes. Grandparents, visiting relatives, and meaningful time with extended family can absolutely be included during your sessions.

  • Memberships are paid annually, with the option to choose a payment plan. All sessions and your heirloom piece are included, so everything is clear from the beginning.
