Documentary Family Photography in Taipei and Worldwide
Honest, intimate family photos that tell a story about who you are.
Documentary family photography is photojournalism for families who want to preserve their story together in a specific time and place. Rather than a family photoshoot with posing, I spend more time with families and photograph them interacting with one another as they live their lives. Whether I join you for a part of your routine at home or I accompany you on an adventure in the city, I will capture authentic moments that make you feel something when you look at them.
Documentary Photography Session Options & Pricing
-
Two hours is enough time to capture a small slice of life as you do one or two activities together. While it won’t be the full story of your days right now, the laughter, looks, and genuine interaction will still tell a story about who you are and your relationship with one another.
We can hang out at home, go on a short neighborhood outing, or both!
Includes a private online gallery of 60+ edited high-resolution photos, downloadable and accessible for one year.
14,000 NT (25% deposit to book)
-
Four hours gives us more time to settle into a rhythm together and allows me to photograph a wider range of interactions. With more time, I’m able to tell a more complete story that ranges from laughter to tears, chaos to quiet—the true story of what life feels like right now. Not only that, but we’ll have more time to capture the places around Taipei that are most meaningful to your family.
Bonus: the longer I’m with you, the more everyone lets their guard down and allows me to capture who they truly are!
Includes a private online gallery of 80+ edited high-resolution photos, downloadable and accessible for one year.
22,000 NT (25% deposit to book)

I become a part of your family for an entire day, from morning wake-up until bedtime. This may sound insane, but not to worry, I won’t be up in your face with a camera for the entire time. What I will be able to do is capture all of the little in-between moments that make up a life and tell a complete story of your family right now. You may think your life isn’t interesting enough to document for an entire day, but trust me, the resulting gallery will tell a rich story about your relationships with one another, the place you’re living, and what life feels like (not just what it looks like) right now.
I can travel anywhere worldwide for full day sessions (travel expenses added as needed).
Includes a private online gallery of 150+ edited high-resolution photos, downloadable and accessible for one year. In addition, you’ll have the option to order a custom-designed photobook that tells the story of your family’s day! (cost of the book not included)
45,000 NT (25% deposit to book)

There’s no better time for documentary photography than when a family is traveling together because a vacation is full of so many interesting, crazy moments! Whether it’s the messy AirBnB, the look your daughter makes when she’s trying a new food, or the chaos of figuring out how to take the MRT, these moments tell a story about the fun you have on an adventure together.
A documentary photography vacation session—with no posing and no going to a location just because it looks pretty in photos—is for families who want to preserve the story of what their adventure together felt like, not just have pretty photos of them standing in front of a landmark.
Includes a private online gallery of edited high-resolution photos. You’ll be able to download your photos and have access to the gallery for one year.
Pricing is the same as regular family sessions, though travel expenses will be added if we go beyond the Taipei/New Taipei area.
I’m available to travel anywhere worldwide for full Day in the Life sessions or multi-day documentary projects. Reach out if you’d like to work together on a long-form storytelling project to document your family memories on vacation.
I can travel anywhere island-wide/worldwide for full Day in the Life sessions, multi-day storytelling projects, or for 3+ shorter sessions that take place over a period of several days. Feel free to discuss the possibility of bringing me to your city with other families you know, and reach out if you’d like to work together on a long-form storytelling project to document your family memories on vacation.
Gift certificates available!
