storyteller experience

Everyone has a story to tell. 

Sometimes the stories are bigger than life, with days filled with rollercoaster rides of action and romance, and happily-ever-afters. And sometimes the stories are more of a whisper, filled with in-between moments of holding hands, sipping from a favorite coffee mug, or snuggling on the sofa.

I want to help you discover your everyday stories. Even the quiet ones.

And I want to help YOU tell them, so that your family stories will be remembered for the rest of your lives, as well as for generations to come. 

But why a STORYTELLER EXPERIENCE?

If I were to ask you to tell me a bit about yourself, would you even know what to say? But if I asked your husband to tell me about the first time he ever laid eyes on you, or asked your kids to tell me about their favorite family vacation ever... the stories would start tumbling out. Probably some of the sweetest things you've never even heard... yet.   

Utilizing my artistic skill set + background in psychology, I've created a brand new way to not only capture the most authentic photos of your family, but also to help you all come together + connect in a way you'll never forget.

Think of it as a family time capsule. 

We'll spend the day (or half-day) together. And of course I'll be taking pictures. But it's so much MORE than that. 

I've always been an observer of people and a collector of stories. And I'll be able to see things from my outsider's perspective that you otherwise might have missed. You'll also get to be in FRONT of the camera for a change, so you'll actually be able to play a visual part in your own story.  

And since this is YOUR story, you get to be the author. It's a choose-your-own-adventure kind of thing. So we can capture a day-in-your-life, starting with breakfast in jammies all the way through bedtime stories. Or we can hit the town. I can even tag along with you to the Most Magical Place on Earth, or go on vacation with you as your very own private paparazzo. We can make your Pinterest-dreams come true, with a fun + fabulous playfully styled session. Or a combination of any of the above!

But the photos are only HALF the story. 

You'll be receiving a few questionnaires ahead of time. One to help us plan the day, and the rest to help tell your stories. Don't worry if you don't know what to say... I'll guide you through the process, with questions specifically designed to get right to the good stuff. And don't worry if your kiddos are too young to type... we'll do video interviews or they can draw pictures instead.

Full-day sessions also include follow-up interviews via phone or Skype, so we can go back in detail and recall a few other things which might have been missed, or share a few highlights from our day together. 

This is where the magic truly happens. Pulling quotes from the questionnaires and interviews, your stories will come to life on the pages of a one-of-a-kind family photo album. 

It's like your favorite lifestyle magazine, but even BETTER. Because it's all YOU.
