Family Experience versus family session

At it's foundation, relationships are about connections. A group of people bound by blood, marriage or honor have been touted through history as something of beauty, mystery, and worthy of attainment. And when a photograph is able to capture the depths within these relationships, that is when something of magic is said to be seen.

There will always be a place for documenting one's family through Christmas cards, school pictures, etc, however the Family Experience is a new kind of session; and in some ways needed more than the mere documentation of one's family. A Family Experience is meant to explore these connections, and bring a conceptual beauty to the relationship.

In this post, we share part one of a Family Experience. As we said, Family Experiences are more conceptual than a family session, and shouldn't be confused "as a family session, with an artistic photographer".

Within today's fractured life, it is more important than ever to realize the invisible weavings we each bring to a relationship, and how it's impact is greater than we can see or notice on a daily basis.

much love, -TJ

Love these! Adorable family -- it's an impressive talent when your pictures can make someone who one minute can be certain that she doesn't want kids yet to want them immediately b/c you make them look so great! LOL. Kudos to you and Michelle! This is a great idea.
