Why documentary

Nobody frames the posed one.

Twenty years from now, your kids won't ask about the photo where everyone looked at the camera. They'll ask about the one where Dad is knee-deep in the creek, laughing, holding a shoe that didn't make it. That's the photograph I'm there for.

“Jesse captured some incredible shots without even staging a pose. He let us do whatever felt natural and was open to any suggestions including when our toddler insisted she needed pictures of her running in circles.”

“We had such a great experience with Jesse! Communication was super easy from the beginning, and he was always nice and easy to work with. I really appreciated that he asked if we had any ideas or pictures saved for inspiration, because it made it easier to explain the type of pictures we wanted.”
