Murphy Family: Port Orchard Documentary Photographer

My friend/former co-worker Lindsay was brave enough to let me do my first family documentary session with her family. I spent 3 hours with her family on a Saturday morning back in February. I first met her when she was engaged to Dan. And then later pregnant with her first Ava, it’s fun to see how her family has changed. Since we both eventually quit teaching we only got to watch each other’s families grow via social media. So getting to spend a morning with her family was a delight. With three girls, they are a busy family. But getting to be a fly on the wall, it’s fun to watch the rhythm of their family. The dynamics and personality of each child. The way their mom and dad love on them. The love languages. The joys. The frustrations. The in and outs of the Murphy family. So beautiful. It was a privelege to witness. Spending time with family’s of littles is real evidence that this time of life is, yes hard, but also so beautiful, brief, wonderful. I hope these photos can be a treasure they can return to when their girls are older and these years of raising littles seems so far away. Thank you Murphys!

    Sliding Scale Guidelines

    you will have the option to choose between Low Budget and Regular. For this model to work you need to be honest with yourself and your financial situation. But while I ask you to consider these factors, please don’t stress about them. Pay what feels right. I will not ask questions or quiz you on your payment choices

    Consider paying less on the scale if you:

    • are a person who experiences discrimination due to systematic oppression
    • have medical expenses not covered by insurance.
    • are eligible for public assistance
    • are an unpaid community organizer
    • are supporting children, family members in need or have other dependents
    • are an elder with limited financial support

    Consider paying more on the scale if you:

    • own the home you live in
    • have investments, retirement accounts, or inherited money
    • travel recreationally
    • have access to family money and resources in times of need
    • work part-time by choice
    • have a relatively high degree of earning power due to level of education, gender privilege, racial privilege, class background, etc. Even if you are not currently exercising your earning power, I ask you to recognize this as a choice.

     

    If you would like to share these thoughts please feel free to do so. You can use the visual and also share my words. I only ask that you give credit as I do. My words were inspired by Alexis J. Cunningfolk, Meghan Gilmore, Claire Louise Travers, Ride Free: Fearless Money, Margeaux Feldman. Andrea Vollgas
