Family Documentation Pricing

Documentary family photography isn't about a single session. It's about preserving a season of life; how your family grows, changes, and moves through the year. Most families choose to document their lives over time, allowing for a more complete and lasting record.

Every session includes more than you might think.
The price reflects not just the time I spend with your family, but everything that surrounds it; the preparation before, and the care taken after.

• Pre-session call (30 min, if needed): We talk through your family, your home, what a typical day looks like, and what you're hoping to capture. This is how I show up prepared and make sure this type of documentary session is a right fit.

• Travel (up to 2 hours roundtrip): All travel within one hour of Incline Village, NV is included at no extra charge.

• The documentary photography session: Unhurried time with your family, documented as life unfolds.

• Professional editing & curation: I go through every frame, select the best, and give each delivered image individual attention: color, tone, and light treated with intention. You receive fully edited images, ready to print and share.

• Hand retouching, included: Every delivered image is individually retouched; the same finish I spent fifteen years bringing to editorial and brand work. Never a proof gallery to sort through, never an upsell to make your favorites look their best. Every photograph is done.

ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Callie.

I’m a mother to two young daughters, and it’s changed the way I see time. I live in Lake Tahoe, where I was also raised, and so much of my work is shaped by this place and the rhythm of life here.

I understand how quickly these years move, and how much meaning lives in the everyday moments that are easy to overlook while you’re in them.

I’m drawn to the parts of family life that often go unnoticed while they’re happening, the routines, the small interactions, the way a season of life quietly takes shape.

I grew up moving often, living in more than twenty homes before the age of twenty-one. That constant change shaped how I see the world, paying attention to people, to place, and to the subtle ways life unfolds in different environments.

That perspective is what I bring into my work with families.

I don’t direct or stage moments. I spend time with you as you are, at home or in a place that feels meaningful, observing and documenting what naturally unfolds. The rhythms of your life, the way your children move through the world, the interactions that happen without thinking.

The moments that might feel ordinary now, but won’t always be.

Before focusing on my own family documentary work, I spent several years working alongside a prominent celebrity portrait photographer in Los Angeles. In 2011, I founded CHROMA Visuals, a retouching studio where I’ve worked with major brands and public figures. I’ve also spent over a decade working with TED as a photographer and photo editor, and photographing weddings and documenting stories for clients around the world.

My background spans portraiture, travel, and post-production, and continues to shape a practice that is both technically refined and deeply observational.

My work has been exhibited internationally and recognized by organizations including PDN, the International Photography Awards, MIFA, and the Lucie Foundation.

I work with families locally and worldwide.
