My Family Session is a unique opportunity to have your family story documented through the lens of a solo photographer who specializes in the art of documentary photography. I am dedicated to capturing candid, unscripted moments that authentically reflect your family's essence.
My sessions are relaxed and unobtrusive, ensuring that you and your loved ones can be entirely at ease. I believe that the most powerful photographs are those that capture genuine emotions and interactions as they happen, without any staging or artificiality.

"Mara came to my home and captured my family like I could have never imagined. What felt natural and chaotic at the time, turned into a work of art. I want to use her every year to see my family's evolution!"

Aka the part that happens behind closed doors!
Or at a coffee shop for me... It’s where I sit down, looking at every single photo I took and choose all the best ones, without the duplicates. I'll never hold a good photo back! From there, I'll correct the color to how I see fits each photo.
That means, improve the vibrancy and lighting, all while keeping it true to color and timeless. Every hour I shoot, comes with multiple hours of backing up, importing, exporting, selecting, and editing. It's a lot, but luckily I had years of experience to get my routine down. I put my heart and soul into recreating your experiences all over again, so you'll have memories to cherish for years to come. Days come and go, but your photos are forever.
Editing
Your little legacy
There's nothing wrong with a posed photo - done right.
When I pose my couples, I direct with prompts that make for great poses that feel less awkward and more natural. All while looking out for in between moments that you don't realize you naturally do when you're around each other.
The direction I give involves a lot of movement to make it more fun and also create artsy shots for you.
THE PERFECT MIX OF CANDID AND POSED

Albums are tangible heirlooms that are SO worth the extra investment.
Handmade from the highest quality materials and fully customizable to your liking, I'll craft and bind your favorite photos into a fine art album. We'll work together to weave a story and create an album design that you're absolutely in love with.
Screens are overrated. There’s absolutely nothing like the feeling of holding your precious moments in your hands. You'll be flicking through this album for years down the track, reliving your special day all over again.

I blend seamlessly into the background, allowing your family to be themselves without any distractions. I don't just take photographs; I document the real-life moments that unfold naturally – whether it's the unbridled joy of children at play, the quiet moments shared by parents, or the beautiful chaos of everyday life.
