Documentary Family Photography

What is documentary family photography?

Documentary family photography aims to authentically capture the genuine emotions, connections, and candid moments within a family's daily life through an unobtrusive, fly-on-the-wall approach. Rather than staged poses, I use a camera to freeze heartwarming instants that highlight a family's unique personalities, traditions, and bonding experiences.

How does documentary family work?

Nothing is staged. There are no poses. Because I specialize in capturing meaningful moments, there’s no need to dress up for the photo session!

Before the session, you can book a free consultation with me to learn more about the documentary approach and discuss location, session type, and potential dates.

How do I book a photography session with R7 Studio?

Booking a photo session is easy! Submit a contact form or email Livia at hello[at]r7studio.co.

I will guide you through the process, discuss your requirements, and find a convenient date and time for your session.

Can we choose the location for our photo session?

Absolutely! Location plays a significant role in capturing unique and personalized photographs. Whether at your home, backyard, or family’s favorite park, let’s document moments in a place that holds meaning to you and your family.

How long does a typical photo session last?

The duration of a photo session varies depending on the type and scope of the project. Mini sessions typically range from 1 to 2 hours, while longer sessions span 4, 8, or 12 hours. I strive to provide ample time to capture all the important moments and ensure you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the session.

How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?

The editing process typically takes 2-3 weeks, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required. I prioritize quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images.

What happens if the weather is unfavorable on the day of the outdoor session?

If the weather doesn't cooperate on the day of an outdoor session, we can discuss alternatives, such as rescheduling the session or finding an indoor location. We want to ensure the best possible outcome for your photos and are flexible in adapting to unforeseen circumstances.

How should we prepare for the photo session?

This is not a typical photo session. I will not guide the family in posing. However, I will encourage you to connect and be yourselves.

1. Pick something comfortable to wear and encourage your family to do the same.
2. Be you! I’m here to document and amplify your beautiful family just as they are.
