a baby is on the way | storytelling documentary

My very pregnant sister-in-law invited me to Pensacola for a storytelling documentary session. We walked their neighborhood, had lunch at Jerry's Drive In and worked on a family photograph for their Christmas card. She's beautiful inside/out, pregnant/not pregnant. I adore that she asked me to hang out with them with my camera in tow- just to capture them being them. A milestone moment that is documented. I wish everyone would do this. I crave this kind of photograghy- casual, candid, natural and honest. It's as if time stood still that afternoon. 

a day in the life | documentary photography

To spend a day with a camera in hand watching, playing, visiting and just plain lovin' the day to be with people I adore- is how I absolutely love photography. I drove over from Fairhope, AL to Pensacola, FL to spend the daylight hours with my 2 year old niece and sister in law. It was a perfect day-in-the-life documentary session with a happy mom and toddler. Our time was full of twirls, snuggles, books, walks, music and food. I'm pretty sure we did it all!
