LIFE EVENTS
Special events? Senior pictures? Something else?
Life events can be documentary sessions, as well, customized to fit your needs. Session fee is $200 and images are available in three different collections. Payment plans and Gift Cards are always available. Take a look at some of the sessions Stories of Joy Photography offers:
Birth Story Session tells the story of your birth experience, whether it happens at the hospital, birthing center or at home. There is nothing graphic, and no posing involved, instead, I will be there to quietly capture the beauty of this very special time in a professional and sensitive way. Please contact me for more information.
Homeschooling Session: The Homeschool Documentary Session is very flexible. Each homeschool family is different, so each session will be different, as well. It can be as long or short as you want, and it can be at home, or at park, or in a car or at gymnastics - you know how it goes. I would love to capture this chaotic and sweet time in your life in a professional and unique way.
Vacation Day in the Life Sessions are similar to Day in the Life Sessions at your home, except I tag along your family as you explore one of the parks, documenting your day at one of the world's most magical places, so you will have moments and memories preserved of your fun day.
**** Limited Sessions Offered in 2025 ****
Wedding Photography: For the bride and the groom interested in storytelling documentary wedding photography, contact me for more information. My goal is tell the story of the day, and get gorgeous portraits for you as well.
Short Documentary Sessions: These shorter sessions (from 2.5 hrs up) are like a mini Day in the Life Session. We can document a bedtime routine, or a morning routine, or anything you would like to have pictures of. It could even be a birthday party or a trip to the ice cream shop! Additional hours can be added for an extra fee.
Fresh 48/Newborn Documentary Sessions are a perfect way to preserve those precious early days of baby (or babies!). No posing necessary! No cleaning house, either - we will concentrate on the special connections between family members, and documenting what your life is right now. I will come to the hospital, or to your home, and spend a couple of hours with your family, documenting you and your little one.
Adoption Homecoming Sessions can be a Short Documentary Session, or a Day In The Life Session that takes place at the airport or at the courtroom. It can even be a Birth Story Session with open adoptions.
Beach Sessions: These shorter documentary sessions (around 1-2 hours) are a fun, no stress way to get your family's pictures taken (read more here). Beforehand, we choose an activity that you think your family would enjoy doing together at the beach. All the while I will be documenting your family time together. Towards the end, when everyone is feeling relaxed, and we've gotten to know each other a little bit, we will get those family portraits done in a snap (5-15 minutes max).
