Capturing Everyday Magic: The Richert Family’s Time Capsule Journey
Photographing the Richert family has been a beautiful journey, from welcoming their first little girl to now documenting life with two vibrant daughters—a preschooler and a toddler.
Through our Time Capsule Membership, their story comes to life in a unique way. Each month, they share the everyday magic from their phones: giggles, cuddles, and quiet moments. We blend these personal treasures with professional portraits to create a heartfelt Family Film that honors their year together. It’s a joy to preserve these fleeting moments, transforming them from digital memories into a cherished keepsake they can enjoy for years to come.
