"Esther is amazing at capturing your real family life - We loved spending time with her recently, and can't wait to do it again!"
-Kristel
"Our first experience with proper family photos and we're so happy we chose you!
You came in and captured our real life.
I've put off doing photos for that reason
- I couldn't justify fake!"
-Meg
"With Esther it's seriously come as you are.
In our session We're not doing anything fancy...
just living life on a regular weekday after school"
-Christine
"We've never had family photos before because I just cannot wrap my head around the logistics...
outfits, posing, inevitable meltdowns, etc
But for this real-life session we did our regular things.... reading, playing cooking.
It was so low key fun!"
-Christine
REAL LIFE at home
Life's too short and too busy to put on a show. Don't be anything other than your true and awesome self! Let the same be true for your family photos.
Using the principles of Photojournalism, I photograph your life without interrupting it.
Your home, your life, and your child's face, can be as clean or as messy as you like.
REAL
with Esther
LIFE
​​
I believe family life is more than just smiles. While hanging out with your family I capture the hard along with the fun.
​
I don't think its should be a radical concept that a family's life is enough as it is. We should all be photographed as a documentation of how life is (rather than how we wish they were or dreamed they would be)
The moments that I treasure most are the little bits and pieces between all the big stuff. That moment when the morning sun sweeps through my child's hair, or the way we all snuggle up in bed for the afternoon nap.
​
This is how I photography my own family,
and it's how I photograph yours!
Kind Words
"Dealing with Post Partum Depression made it challenging at times to connect to my sweet newborn baby. I would hold her and try to feel all the feelings but only sadness, or worse, nothing would come. I felt like a failure as a mom and human being.
​
Then Esther came like a blessing and took such amazing pictures. This one in particular. I loved it instantly but didn't know why.
I came to realize that even though I couldn't always connect to the feelings of motherhood. The feelings were always there. I love my daughter and always have. Even if I couldnt always feel it. I showed it in different ways. And I know she felt it."
