Remember Their Childhood
Helping you remember their childhood before their childhood becomes a memory.
For families based in the USA
Their childhood is happening now. You can feel the moments slipping through your fingers and are tired of time feeling like a thief instead of a gift. The sporadic moments captured on your phone simply aren’t enough.
You want to make sure you never forget the good old days.
With Day In The Life sessions you have a time capsule to remember exactly what it felt like in this season of life.
Videos to watch back every year. How it felt when they said “mama hold you” with tiny arms stretched high above their head.
A beautiful and sturdy album that will last generations filled with photos of snuggles, laughter, the bounce of their curls, and the wonder in their big, adoring eyes because you are their whole world.
“Your films are our most treasured heirlooms. We love having a film created each year because it is magic when you watch them all back to back. It is amazing to see the kids grow before our eyes and to be able to remember what life was like at that stage.”
HEY, I’M NEELI!
A mom of three in the same season as you.
Familiar with the overwhelm of wanting time to slow down and trying to make sure I never forget the little details of their life that change all too rapidly.
I created the type of session I dreamed of having for myself.
Someone I can hire who understands how valuable these moments are and takes all the hard work out of my hands so I can simply enjoy being with my family.
“Neeli is an incredible photographer and videographer! We hired her for a day in the life session, and she created a gorgeous video and album for us that we will cherish forever. She has an incredible eye and knows how to really capture the special details that make each season unique. Don’t hesitate to book with her!”

“We had the best time having Neeli in our home, she captured the sweetest images and the essence of our home and family. Pictures and video that I will cherish for a lifetime of little moments that matter the most.”

“Beautiful work! Neeli came into our home for a newborn family session. She is not only incredibly talented but also has a personable and easygoing presence. She is able to capture small details and special moments to remember for many, many years.”
VIEW MY WORK
Here's why I include an Archival Fine Art Album in every session
As a mom, I know that the intention is always to print the photos, but the reality of making it happen is that it often gets put off.
Investing in these moments for them to only ever live in "the cloud" goes entirely against why you want to book this session, and why I do the work that I do
So I take all the work off your plate, and custom make your archival album. The album I choose uses paper and ink that is made to last for generations. Little hands can't rip the pages and the ink is fade resistant.
The USB will contain your video and photos so you have extra backup.
Have Questions?
-
Your privacy is of upmost importance to me. I have several clients whose sessions stay completely private and are never shared on my website or social media. You will receive a private gallery that only you and I have the ability to access. When signing your contract, you get to specify what level of privacy you and your family prefer. Whether that be covering your children’s faces in any photos shared online, or simply not having your photos and videos shared at all.
While I’m always thankful to be able to share my work, these photos are YOURS and will only be shared with your permission.
-
When it comes to Day In The Life sessions, your home is simply the frame to the art: Your family! While you may want to pick up big messes prior, you do not need a perfectly organized or pinterest styled home. The beauty is found within the authenticity of your story as a family. I know when something is worth including and I also know how to move around a cluttered corner if needed. BUT some mess is a normal part of life and can actually carry beauty in it. Like being able to look back one day and see the laundry piles that were a daily part of your life and how that resembled your days together as a family.
-
As a mama, I am completely used to meltdowns, sibling fights, and all the things that come with being little! I promise it doesn't phase me. If your kiddo needs a moment, I know exactly when to step back and give space. And often times once things have settled, can then capture the really sweet moments of connection that follow. But what's most common is that the kiddos are having so much fun from the intentional time together, that the overwhelm is few and far between!
-
Depending on what we’ve discussed for your sessions vision, if there’s rain, we stick with the plan as normal and adapt! It's really easy to do with day in the life sessions as it does not rely on a sunny day to capture a beautiful day. If there is inclement dangerous weather, or if your session specifically relies on dry weather, we can look at another date to reschedule for your family.
-
Something I’ve often heard is “I think our life may be too boring.” My dear, I promise you it isn’t! The magic and beauty I capture is found right in the midst of that mundane.
Before your session, I get to know the heart of you and your family and hear your story. I learn what your family loves and values and we plan your session around those things. On your session day, you are spending time taking things slow and enjoying your family. Before you know it, your session is done and when you receive your photos and videos, your heart will be overflowing with the joy of seeing just how beautiful your life is!
-
Yes! I know preserving your families season of life is an investment and I want to make it as easy as possible for you.
To book your session, you pay a 30% non-refundable deposit, then payments can either be broken up month by month, or in one or two additional payments due a week before your session date.
Imagine watching your memories from today — ten years from now.
This isn’t just a photo shoot. It’s moments spent with your family capturing what it felt like to be living in the good old days, before the good old days pass you by.
— Ready?
This season won’t wait.
Sessions are limited. Inquire today to check availability.
