About Us
A Way of seeing the world
We believe photography should feel like standing beside someone, not looking at them. At Our Story Photographers, we document the lived in closeness of families, schools, and small businesses as they move through their real rhythms. Most moments aren’t staged; they’re found in a laugh that lingers, in the work of hands, in the small spaces where people show who they really are. Our role isn’t to perfect or perform, but to witness. Each session is a chance to slow down, honor what’s already there, and create images that hold both memory and meaning. What you take away is more than photographs; it’s a visual record of your story, rooted in truth and worth.
Step into your story.
What would it mean to have the beauty of your real, unposed life reflected back to you?
For us, photography is less about taking pictures and more about offering the rare experience of being seen, honestly, and just as you are & what you're about. Let us help tell that story.

We’re DJ and Sara—partners in life, parenting, storytelling, & photography. Together we've created Our Story Photographers to honor the everyday moments that shape our lives and our communities.
The boys
Our greatest teachers. They remind us to slow down, stay curious, and find joy in the little things. Whether they’re building worlds out of cardboard or asking big questions at bedtime, they shape how we see and appreciate the everyday.
Documentary-Lifestyle Photography
"Documentary photography is a discipline in presence not performance."
Our documentary-style is about witnessing life unfiltered, unposed, and human. Through our lens, we help clients see themselves with more gentleness, reflect on their lives, and remember what truly matters. This isn’t about capturing images it’s about honest emotions and personal reflection. The kind you grow with. The kind that become part of your story. Over time, this way of seeing becomes more than photos it becomes a mindset. One that teaches us to observe with intention, reflect with care, and hold space for what’s real.
