Your work belongs at the center.
These clearly labeled AI concepts communicate the intended visual direction while the original portfolio is built. Replace them with approved client work, personal portfolio sessions, or styled shoots—never present generated or stock imagery as Storyhome photography.
What we photograph

Every engagement begins with a conversation about the people, setting, timing, and moments that matter most.
Families and pets
Relaxed portraits that make room for children, parents, grandparents, and animals as full members of the family story.
Special occasions
Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, showers, reunions, proposals, retirement celebrations, and private gatherings.
Aerial imagery
Planned for 2027, subject to FAA remote-pilot certification, aircraft registration, insurance, venue permission, weather, and required airspace authorization. Not currently bookable.
