Rose was going back and forth trying to decide between my Lifestyle session or Documentary Session. Then she said, “I really just don’t want to pose.” That resolved it.

I visited the Norbe family at their waterfront home in Gig Harbor. Their property faces Fox Island and gets some pretty amazing views. Rose and Ben love taking their two girls Stevie and Neve on the beach to collect shells and rocks. Their nanny joined us and chatted with the girls about touching clear jellyfish, not the orange ones.

Ben built a fire and they shared s’mores, but I think Neve preferred eating just the chocolate. Same, Neve. Same.

With the documentary sessions, I am hands off. I’m there to capture your every day, playing and loving each other. Some families share a meal, enjoy the beach, have a campfire. Documentary is the realness and rawness of life.
