Kirby Family || Durham Family Photographer

The Family Story: I’m so grateful when families hire me back year after year to document their every growing and evolving family life. As you can see reflected in some of the images below, their son was not supper enthusiastic about photos. Which I know is stressful for parents, when you are investing money and time into these photos, you want it to be a good experience. One thing I often try to remind parents is that it doesn’t have to be perfect, we can follow the children’s lead. We can regroup, we can pivot, we can throw out the plan and do something completely different if we need to. I promise we’ll always end up with something beautiful and authentic.

The Location: Trinity Park Neighborhood Durham, North Carolina

The Response:
