Documentary and lifestyle shoots are two very special types of shoots that I love to offer clients. They are similar but there are key differences.

Documentary- I as the documenter will NOT interfere at all with the activity or setting. My role will be only to capture the reality of what is happening. Real life. The messy, the beautiful, the raw. This is what life IS. No posing. No prompting.

Lifestyle- Lifestyle is a lot like documentary however, I WILL adjust the scene, include light prompts or posing. These are often done in the client's home for newborn sessions but can also include all ages.  These can be done with an activity such as baking cookies, painting, playing a game, reading, etc.
