DAY IN THE LIFE SESSIONS

Forget everything you thought you knew about family photoshoots, because these ain’t that. 

So then, what ARE Documentary Family Sessions about?

Documentary Family Sessions are about honoring the reality of the life you built with the people you love, no matter what it looks like. They’re about your connections and relationships, and the little details that so often go unnoticed. They’re about authentic documentation of the way your real life feels, not how it looks on social media. 

They’re about getting YOU in the pictures too -I’m looking at you, moms. 

The best part: There’s no pressure to look or act a certain way.  Even if your real life is a little more hurricanes and poison ivy than sunshine and roses, that doesn’t make it any less worthy of being documented.

You do you, I’ll take care of the rest.

What Clients Are Saying

Danielle has the unique ability to capture those "in between" moments when we let our guard down, at the instant when our emotions and feelings rise to the surface, and forever preserves them in her beautiful images.

-Liguori Family, Longmeadow, MA

"I have NO WORDS. Seriously. Worth the wait and then some. I need to digest these and then come back and write you a lengthy email about how happy I am. I just didn’t want to wait to acknowledge these incredible pictures. WOW!!!"
-MB| Bedford, NH

You Can't Help But Fall In Love With These Sessions

"We've gone through a lot of photographers over the years and none of them have compared to you! I LOVE your style...your ability to capture moments we don't even realize are happening...the personalities...absolutely incredible! I started to tear up looking at these...you are AMAZING! Thank you so very much! I just wish we had you when our kids were babies. ;( At least we found you now moving forward!"
The Hatch Family | West Newbury, MA

"I can't tell you how much we love your sessions.  It's like no work, no stress and hundreds of gorgeous shots!!!  I don't know how you do it, but I love it." Rene, North Falmouth, MA

"I can’t thank Danielle enough!! A message to all the Dads out there: as we get older, time begins to fly by. The kids are busy with activities and before we know it, they will be out of the house. It was well worth having Danielle hang with us for the afternoon. She is phenomenal capturing the moments that we do not think are worth capturing. Thrilled to have these memories of the kids hanging with Mom and Dad!
