Your beautiful family is unique, perfect exactly as it is, and it absolutely deserves to be celebrated! Family photo sessions with Pitaya Photography feel easy and genuine, and can take place at home or on-location in both full and mini session varieties.

What if I told you

It's not about the photograph.

Not entirely.

It's about the feeling you get when you see it.

It's about the memories that come to life.

It's about what it stirs inside of you.

Photographs are anchors to experiences.

They invite you in, for the imagination and heart to play.

remembering

When we're in it, we can't imagine every forgetting it.

It's so good. So, so good. It's impossible to forget.

The present dominates, and it turns out we do need anchors to our memories.

That's what the photograph is for.

Documentary family sessions feel natural and easy

To prepare, simply direct love and kindness to your family!

The most important thing for a documentary family session is that you're willing to put your awareness and loving-kindness towards yourself and the people you love. Everything else will follow exactly as it needs to.

It can feel big to say 'yes' to that inner voice saying it's worth it. You may feel anxious with the idea of getting everything ready, or the timing, in alignment with a level of arbitrary perfection.

What I capture is on the inside. It's love, connection and belonging. And it's already there
