This Is Us. Real life family storytelling - no posing, no stress.

Family Storytelling Sessions

In-Home or Outdoor Lifestyle Photography

Family Storytelling Sessions are designed to document your family exactly as you are in this season of life. These sessions take place in your home or outdoors (local parks, family property) and focus on real moments, natural connection, and everyday interactions that deserve to be remembered.

This is not posed photography.
This is honest, intentional storytelling

What Makes These Sessions Different

Traditional family photography often asks families to perform.
Family Storytelling Sessions invite you to simply be together.

I gently guide you into beautiful light and meaningful moments, while allowing real emotion and interaction to unfold naturally. The result is a gallery that feels lived-in, emotional, and timeless.

No stiff posing.
No forced smiles.
No perfect house required.

The Experience

Location

Sessions take place in your home or outdoors (local park, backyard, family property) where your family feels most comfortable. Natural light and lived-in spaces are part of the story.

Session Length

Most sessions last 60–90 minutes, allowing space for children to warm up and moments to unfold without rushing.

Guidance

You will never be left wondering what to do. I offer gentle direction when needed while keeping the experience relaxed and natural.

Pace

These sessions are intentionally unhurried. I work with your family’s energy rather than against it.

What You’ll Receive

  • A relaxed, in-home or outdoor storytelling session

  • Thoughtful guidance throughout the experience

  • A curated online gallery that tells the story of your family

  • High-resolution digital images for personal use

Each gallery is edited and delivered with intention, focusing on connection, emotion, and narrative flow rather than volume.

Who These Sessions Are For

These sessions are a great fit if you:

  • Value connection over perfection

  • Want photographs that feel real and emotional

  • Prefer a calm, in-home experience

  • Want images that will mean more with time

If you are looking for heavily posed portraits or quick mini sessions, this may not be the right fit. If you want honest storytelling, you’re in the right place.

What to Wear

Comfort is key.

  • Neutral or soft tones photograph beautifully

  • Bare feet are welcome

  • You do not need to match perfectly

Wear what feels like you. If it feels natural, it will photograph well.

These photographs are not about perfection.
They are about truth.

Because one day, the ordinary moments you’re living now will feel extraordinary.

A wall clock is mounted on the wall above, and a bright room with a window is visible at the end of the hallway.

This is more than photos.

It’s the feeling of this chapter, preserved.

Family Storytelling Sessions are created for families who want honest, emotional photographs of real life at home. The kind of images that become more valuable as the years pass.

Not perfect.
Just true.

Complimentary Storytelling Consult

Booking a photography session is personal, and it’s important that you feel comfortable and confident moving forward.

Before Scheduling, I offer a complimentary storytelling consult to connect, answer questions, and talk through what you envision for your family. This call allows us to align on expectations, timing, and what matters most to you, so your session feels relaxed and intentional from the start.

There’s no pressure and no obligation. Just a conversation to make sure this experience feels like the right fit.

We will join on a 15-20 minute virtual meeting link so we can meet in person, before your scheduled session date.

Photogirl Creative

Hi, I’m Misty.

I’m the photographer behind Photogirl Creative, and for as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to the quiet, ordinary moments that most people overlook.

The way your child climbs into your lap.
The kitchen mess after pancakes.
The laughter that fills your house on a slow Saturday morning.

That’s the stuff that matters.

Not perfect poses.
Not forced smiles.

Real life.

For years, I worked inside large photography companies and learned the structure, systems, and discipline of the industry. But something always felt missing.

Photography isn’t meant to feel rushed or performative.

It’s meant to feel honest.

So I built Photogirl Creative around one simple idea:

Your life is already beautiful exactly as it is. It deserves to be honored and remembered.
