Cook Me a Meal & Tell Me a Story…
Editorial Nostalgia sessions are for people who understand that the most important photographs aren't taken at milestones. They're taken on ordinary Tuesdays, in your kitchen, with the people who matter most.
Whatever it is, I am here to honor and preserve the memories…
The garden you’ve tended tenderly for thirty years.
Saturday morning
coffee rituals at home.
Your Grandmother’s soup recipe that everyone loves.
Your meticulously curated vinyl collection.

EDITORIAL NOSTALGIA SESSIONS:
Regret Prevention
In my early years photographing people in their homes, I'd move furniture and find a clear wall to create a "home studio."
As the years passed, I realized the countertops, the drying dishes, the plants crowding the windowsills, (all the things we instinctively tidy before company comes), are exactly what makes a home feel like someone actually lives there. When we remove them, we remove the story.
An Editorial Nostalgia session is a documentary portrait experience.
A magazine feature for your real life.
I come to your home, your kitchen, your workshop, your garden…
I photograph you doing what you love, with the people you love, in the spaces that hold your story.
-
A single ritual, recipe, or moment documented with reverence.
For most stories, that’s somewhere between two and four hours together.
For larger families or more complex coverage, we'll talk through scope before you book so there are no surprises.
Short films, heirloom albums, and archival wall prints can be added to any session.
This is a founding rate, limited availability at this price.
-
A 60–90 second documentary of your session with ambient sound, real moments, no narration. The way the kitchen sounded that morning. The way you laughed. The record spinning on the turntable.
This is the thing you will watch on a Tuesday twenty years from now and be grateful exists.
Launching Summer of 2026.
-
Professionally printed on archival paper by a professional print lab I have trusted for over fifteen years. Bound to last generations. These are not photo books from a drugstore, they are archives designed to be displayed and passed down through generations.
Designed collaboratively after your session. Delivered within 4–6 weeks of image selection and approval.
-
A photograph that lives on your wall is a different object than one that lives on your phone. I work with a professional lab to produce museum-quality prints in sizes from 11×14 to 24×36, mounted on white styrene or finished as canvas.
After your gallery is delivered, I'll help you identify the image that deserves a wall. Most clients know immediately which one it is.
-
One family. One ongoing story. Return visits across seasons and milestones such as a new baby, a child leaving for college, a tradition quietly disappearing, a garden in every season.
This is the work I am most proud of. Includes optional film, print, and album selections each visit or as a collection. Inquire to discuss what this looks like for your family.
Booking Editorial Nostalgia Sessions
Here’s How It Works:
Begin with Conversation
I want to hear your story so we can plan appropriately. Most discovery calls are 20–30 minutes and help us clarify expectations.
1.
Plan with Purpose
I’ll send a Story Brief that details location, people, wardrobe, and details with a customized quote based on the scope of your story.
2.
Session Day
This is the fun part! I will discreetly direct the scenes, but allow for natural moments to unfold. No one is awkward when they feel at peace.
3.
4.
Your Story is Delivered
Your gallery, your written narrative, and any add-ons are ready within four to five weeks. A “rush” option is available.
Let’s Work Together
If you have a recipe, a ritual, a person, or a place you are afraid of forgetting, I would love to hear about it.
Tell me about your story & I’ll be in touch!
