As a mom I know the feeling of looking back through photos of some of my favorite memories with my family, and realizing I am not captured in the moment. In the moment I am not worried about setting up my phone to make sure I am in the pictures, but I know there will come a day that I am not longer here with my daughters and they will want the memories of the WHOLE family, not just of them. That is why the real life experience was created. Your kiddos will cherish the real life moments together more than the posed and outfit coordinated family sessions. These are the photos that are good for the heart and soul. 

The REal life experience

Documentary style photoshoots

What to expect from this experience

These real life sessions are considered documentary style, I provide VERY little input, the point is for me to be a fly on the wall and capture your family in real life. If I notice that lighting would be better if you moved a little, I might suggest that, but only if I know it will not disrupt what your family is doing. 
I will meet with you and your family 1-2 weeks prior to your scheduled session(s) to make sure I know what you want captured and to evaluate the lighting. This is important if I you want your session(s) in your home. Not only for me to know if I need to bring lighting equipment, but it allows me to see how your family interacts with the space.

One of the many great things about these sessions, is the stress for outfit coordination being OFF the table. When looking back at these pictures a decade or 2 from now, you aren't focusing on the outfits worn, but the smiling faces that time has altered.
These sessions can be anything you are your family enjoy, whether it is playing in your backyard, baking/cooking in the kitchen, playing at the park/playground/or beach, playing board/card games, the possibilities are endless!

"I have done multiple photoshoots with Authentic Love Photography now and it is always such a joy to work with her! She lets me send her some photos as inspiration that I would like to see in my photos. She helps pick out outfits, brings props and she has many tricks up her sleeve to get an authentic expression from you. I truly had so much fun during all the sessions!"
