When the Rogers family invited me to their home for a documentary family session, I knew it was going to be unforgettable. As a Fernie photographer, sessions like this – filled with authenticity, connection, and a true sense of place – are exactly why I love what I do.

A Documentary Family Session in the Heart of Fernie, BC
The evening started at the Rogers’ stunning 70’s-style home, nestled in the mountains of Fernie, BC. With its Palm Springs-inspired aesthetic and their unbeatable patio (all the vibes!), it felt like stepping into a dream. Over a home-cooked meal and a glass of wine, I got to know this amazing family, capturing the quiet magic of their everyday moments.
From listening to records in the living room to playful moments in Sonny’s room, each scene felt like a snapshot of their lives – raw, real, and full of love. Skateboarding down the driveway, swinging in their hammock chair, and sharing laughs in the glow of their cozy home made for an evening I’ll never forget.
Why Documentary Family Photography?
Documentary family sessions are becoming one of my favorite ways to tell a family’s story. They’re about more than just pretty pictures – they’re about capturing the moments that matter most. Kids get to be themselves, letting their personalities shine in the comfort of their own home.
It’s these everyday moments – the ones that feel so ordinary now – that you’ll cherish as time goes on. From cuddling on the couch to those tiny, fleeting milestones like a first skateboard ride, documentary sessions freeze these memories in time so you can hold onto them forever.
