Capture the Everyday Moments with Documentary Style Photography

Stories of Joy Photography offers Day in the Life and Year in the Life sessions

By sponsored by Stories of Joy Photography February 14, 2024

Do you ever wish that someone could document your family's life? That someone could capture all of the ordinary and beautiful moments in a typical day? 

While I love a great posed photo to share at Christmastime or frame on the wall, lately I've been drawn to documentary-style photography. I want to be able to look back on photos and remember the cute way my daughter would dance around the kitchen or the way my kids would get filthy playing in our backyard. 

Documentation of these moments with your family is exactly what Sennu at Stories of Joy Photography specializes in with her Day in the Life and Year in the Life sessions.

Day in the Life Sessions

Day In The Life sessions tell the story of your family and your everyday life by capturing one day in pictures.

You pick one normal day when Sennu will join your family for up to 12 hours. There is no need to pose or stage your home life - these are photos for you to portray your real life. Sennu works hard to capture special moments of love and joy, as well as all the naughty moments. Her goal is to show how hard - and rewarding - parenting is through high-quality professional images.

If you're nervous about having a camera aimed at you all day, there's no need to worry. Within the first hour of Sennu being in your home, you won't even notice the camera anymore. It is like having a friend come over for the day.

Year in the Life Sessions

Year in the Life Sessions have the same style and goal as Day in the Life sessions, but they are designed to tell the story of your family's life over the year. Year in the Life sessions are 12 total hours spread out over any 12 months. Typically families have 2 - 6 sessions that add up to 12 hours. You could use this to document a school year, baby's first year, a calendar year, or whatever works best for your family.

Kids grow up so fast. You'll never regret having quality photos (you are included in!) that tell your family's unique story and show the love shared amongst you. 

*Note: I chose these black and white photos because I thought they were beautiful, but Sennu does color photos as well. Check out her blog for lots of examples of her work!
