Instead of directing or staging a moment, I capture candid interactions and unscripted life for photos and footage that feel like you, not a performance, with all the warmth and grain only film can hold.
After 15 years behind a camera and 50+ families trusted with theirs, one thing I know is that the second everyone stops "posing for the photo," the real moments and the real poetry start. I get that bringing someone into your home, your routine, your actual life can feel like a lot; that's why before your session, we'll hop on a quick call so you know exactly what to expect and feel completely comfortable with me before I ever show up.
Your family's life is happening right now: in the mornings, nobody photographs; the dinners that turn into chaos; the five minutes before everyone's actually ready. To remember it with the poesy of film, you need someone who knows how to disappear into the background while it happens.
And that's where I come in…
NO POSING +
THE POESY OF FILM
Here's how
Some things aren't meant to be still. The way your kid laughs, the way you all talk over each other at the table: Super 8 motion film captures the sound and rhythm of your family with the same nostalgic texture as an old home movie.
No posed family lineups, no "everybody look here." Instead, I show up, blend into the background, and let your family's day unfold exactly as it would without me there, captured on film, with all its imperfect, unrepeatable poesy.
A FILM-FIRST EXPERIENCE
SUPER 8, FOR THE MOMENTS THAT MOVE
My favorite lab develops every roll, and every image is hand-edited to match the light and feeling of your actual day, not run through a one-size-fits-all filter. The result: photos with real character and quiet poetry, not a generic "film-look" preset.
HAND-EDITED, NEVER AUTOMATED
