When I first started shooting family documentary sessions, I was in love with the idea of families embracing real life. Cherishing the good and the bad. The sad and the happy. But at the time, my wife and I had no kids of our own. Fast forward through five miscarriages, emergency surgeries, and two rounds of IVF, and this opinion is now set in stone. While we still enjoy a good family portrait, these images simply don't have the ability to truly remind us of what is important. They can’t remind us of what it took to get where we are.

An image of us smiling at the camera won't be able to remind us of how grumpy our son used to wake up from his naps.

How he had to take his inflatable dinosaur everywhere he went for an entire week.

Or how much he loves “his puppy”

Most of all, when our kids are older and interested in looking back at what life was like for them growing up, we want them to see it all. Not just a quick posed moment we made up.

So family documentary sessions are not just something I think you should have. They are something I want for my own family. I simply want to give other families the same opportunity. Because the moments we all want to remember are taken for granted on a daily basis. No one makes the decision to stop reading books to their kid. But one day you will read your last book to them and not even know it’s happening.

Moments like these slip away from us day after day.

I have been married to my amazing wife for more than 10 years and we currently have a 2-year old son and 3-month old daughter. We also have 3 fur children. A Great Dane named Ollie, a Dane/Shepherd mix named Della, and Welsh Terrier named Charlie.

More About Jason

In our free time we love spending time at the lake, hiking, exploring, or doing anything outside. We love to travel (our son went on 19 flights before he was one) and we love to eat and try new restaurants.

I started my life out of school as a mechanical engineer. I did that for almost 10 years alongside our photography business. When it came time to choose, photography was the only path I could see myself continuing down. When I’m not shooting weddings or other families, you can still almost always find me with a camera in hand or at least nearby. It’s more than a job to me. It’s my hobby, passion, and calling.

In addition to shooting, I’m also very involved in the photo industry. I love being able to help and inspire other photographers. I am a sponsored ambassador for some amazing camera companies and I enjoy using this position to help educate and lift up the industry in any way I can.

But at the end of the day, I can’t do the things I love without amazing clients. I am truly blessed to have worked with so many amazing couples and families. If you are interested in being a part of this journey and giving your family something they will cherish for generations, make sure to contact us.
