I’m the Photographer and Videographer For You If…

Documenting your family's right now is important to you (think: toddler voice, special relationship between siblings, how little they are (they are growing like a weed), a big change is coming (marriage, baby, etc).

Four generations of Wilkerson women gathering at Great Grandma’s house. Great Grandma meeting her first great grandchild, baby Celine, for the first time. One flying in from Texas. Two flying in from Virginia. Sarah, the granddaughter contacting me for this session, said that her mom really wanted a picture of all of them together during their visit. She suggested JC Penny. Sarah knew there was a way better option out there if she’d give her a chance to look. She mentioned how her grandma’s house in Indiana had the best memories associated with it. She mentioned how well her grandma is doing at her age. She was really hoping someone could just come to the house and take casual pictures of them all “just hanging out”.

I feel like Chandler Bing.. Could I BE any better suited for this type of session?

A special kind of magic happens when you have a real moment mixed with sweetness captured on film.

Like many of you, I place a high value on sentimentality, but also on realism. A little tantrum here, a “blooper” there… adding just a drop or two of reality into your film grounds it and takes away the lie that “my family isn’t perfect so I can participate in a session like this”.

Do you use the same research plan to find a photographer for all your other stages of life? Finding the right family photographer is just as important as finding the right wedding photographer. The research can add up to be quite a bit of work, especially when looking for separate newborn photographers, family photographers, senior photographers and extended family photographers. Ugh…
