Many families that are considering a documentary family session often have the same worries or objections. I’m here to walk you through the five most common myths I encounter, and why these are five worries that shouldn’t keep you from booking a session.

Even if a documentary session isn’t in the budget for you right now, I encourage you to take real, unposed photos of your family. Capture life as it is, not what you want it to be. Real life isn’t Instagram feeds full of smiling, happy, perfectly coordinated families. It’s about the everyday, small moments, the good and the bad.
