Day In The Life Session — the Rodriguez family

family watches cartoons in bed with dad

several years ago i had an idea that has been percolating beneath the surface and taking shape for a long time. so today i am finally thrilled to announce that i am now offering family Day In The Life sessions. this is a pure, all day approach to capturing your family in your natural habitat, going about your day-to-day routine completely un-staged. no posing, no intruding on your daily flow, just me with my camera as a fly on the wall and you doing what you do best — living your life!

while i’ve experimented in this style of family photography here and there over the years, the beautiful rodriguez family in east nashville are the first folks to officially open wide their door to me (very early in the morning i might add) and let me in on their family routine. i can’t imagine it going any more perfectly than it did and i am absolutely over the moon excited to share some of these images from our shoot! if you like what you see contact me to see how we can get you on the books for your own day in the life session!
