The Storytelling Experience

What could be more important than preserving your family’s authentic life and love; your unique drum beat. Documenting those quiet moments between, the raw beauty of your life, is what we specialize in here at Artist By Heart. Your fully personalized Lifestyle Family session is sure to be so relaxed and inspire so much laughter, that your family will hardly remember they're being photographed.

During your session I will document you and your family doing what you love most, even if that’s just enjoying a relaxing day at home together. We’ll discuss all of the fun options during your consultation; kids making Valentine’s cookies with mom? A day at the lake perfecting your cannon balls?! I’m there for it!

During your session I will sometimes direct you with prompts that help you interact with your loved ones in a genuine and authentic way. And, more often, I will take a step back, let you do your thing, and document those real life moments that you will surely miss in 30 years.

"You don't understand, Jennifer, my family is boring. All we do is hang out at our house binging Hulu."

Believe me, I can totally relate to that! But life doesn't have to be planned-to-the-minute and scrubbed-to-perfection to be beautifully and uniquely yours. The joyful spaces where your family feels happiest, most content, and relaxed, is exactly where your true colors shine.

At the end of the day, it’s those normal, everyday, in-between moments that make us.

You only have 18 summers with your children. Make them count.

Is your family's favorite pastime meeting on the couch for epic tickle fights?! Or maybe your family shares a tradition of going out for ice-cream on lazy summer Saturdays!

My job is to be a fly on the wall to your everyday love story and capture it in an authentic way that draws a reminiscent tear as you share the images with your grandchildren.
