Are we too boring for documentary family photography?

One of the most common hesitations I hear about families booking a documentary newborn or family session, is that they're afraid they'll be too boring.

"I was really worried that we were just not going to be interesting enough. But it didn’t come true. People don’t realize I think, how sometimes the little stuff really can make such a fun memory when it’s captured on film." - Mia

I like to say that there is no need to be "interesting" for the sake of the photographer or for social media. The pictures are meant to be keepsakes for your family of this very moment, as time goes by so quickly. Who cares if the pictures are "boring".But gosh – what in life is boring, really?
