"What a gift to have Rose and Robyn take in your kiddos as their own"

FRIENDLY, LAID-BACK ENERGY

So much of life these days feels like a performance. There is constant pressure to show up a certain way or to only be perceived in a certain light. Meeting your photographer for the very first time at a photo session can feel the same way. In the age of AI, we invite families to slow down and begin their photo session the old-fashioned way. Our process begins with a face-to-face connection followed by a planning meeting where a genuine relationship can grow and develop naturally. The day of our session, we don’t expect you to be professional models or a “perfect” family. We’ll move through the session at your pace, encouraging intentionality and fun(!!!) with your loved ones and offering intuitive guidance as needed.

slow sessions for the days that go fast

NOSTALGIC MEDIUMS - NEVER AI

After growing up in the early 2000s, we have found that our creative inspiration derives from the mediums that invoke the most nostalgia for us. When we look back at the documentation of our favorite childhood memories, we see moments preserved on 35mm film from our grandmother’s point-and-shoot. We see pixelated home movies recorded on pre-smartphone Sony handycams. Those mediums represent our earliest, most cherished memories, so it was only natural to carry them with us into adulthood. In the hyper-digital, AI-filled, fast-paced world of the 2020s, we find the unmatched quality beyond worth the added care and investment these mediums demand.

HOW WILL YOU REMEMBER?

Having professional photos taken means all these special moments have been beautifully documented. But what happens after that? Too often, you’re left with the added mental load of figuring out how to keep them safe, how to display them, and where to have them printed. 

As artists, we believe that leaving you with all those decisions is a disservice not only to you, but to the photos and memories associated with them. However, preserving and enjoying your photos is not a one size fits all process, and it’s our job to accommodate whatever serves our client best. We are the experts on the art, but you are the expert on your own life and family. We’ll guide you through all those decisions, whether you want fully custom heirloom artwork, design assistance, or just reliably good quality prints to put in your scrapbook.

Designed as a meaningful experience for you and your family, carefully documented, so you can enjoy the nostalgia for years to come. We’ll guide you through the process of creating an heirloom album or custom art for your home – keepsakes that will carry on your family’s legacy.

THE SIGNATURE COMMISSION

Through several sessions over the course of a year, we will create an intentional record of a whole chapter of your family’s life instead of just one milestone. The documentary commission will result in storytelling heirloom artwork and a documentary film about your life.

Limited availability. Consultation required prior to booking.

CAMCORDER SESSION FILMS

NOSTALGIC HOME MOVIES

Video completes the body of work we create with our clients, adding the sensory details of sound and motion that can’t be fully encapsulated in photos alone. 

All session films are recorded on camcorders from the late 90s and early 2000s to authentically achieve the nostalgic look and feel of a home movie. Throughout the session, we use intuitive posing prompts to create moments of connection and help our clients relax on camera.

huntsville family session

"Robyn and Rose are the absolute BEST. They captured our family so beautifully and were so easy to work with. They made our 3 year old feel comfortable and were able to capture some of my favorite family photos of us ever, despite how chaotic my kid is. They even brought props. I will forever be grateful to have these beautiful photos of us and would recommend Fauna and Film 100x over."

"Literally just cried in the car looking at these"

- megan
in-home family session in huntsville

"Our in-home session with Rose + Robyn was pure perfection! They were such naturals at keeping our little girl happy + engaged, helped us feel so comfortable, and clearly worked their magic behind the camera. We are so grateful they captured such a special season of our lives and are excited to document many more milestones in the future with Fauna & FIlm!"

"These sisters are a true dream team and were a joy to have in our space."

- catherine

"Rose and Robyn were very professional and walked me through the whole process from planning my photo session to selecting the artwork I wanted to purchase. I am so pleased with the quality of my photo prints...They really understood my vision and know how to deliver a high quality product. I will keep my prints forever and can't wait to add to my collection in the future."

"I am truly so impressed with the detail that went into my experience."

- amanda
hampton cove family session

"Robyn is so talented behind the camera and Rose brings so much fun energy to the session! I love whenever we get together because they are so collaborative and creative when it comes to styling and choosing locations. And both were so patient and kind to my two toddlers when we did family photos last weekend. Definitely book with them because you won’t regret it! Highly recommend!"

"The girls of Fauna & Film are hands down the best!"

- marie
huntsville engagement session

Rose and Robyn braved the freezing January weather to capture the most beautiful engagement photos of my fiancé and me! From start to finish, they were incredible—taking the time to review our Pinterest inspo and turning those ideas into magazine-worthy shots. The photos are stunning, and the uniqueness of the film gives them such a timeless, artistic feel. We can’t wait to feature them on our wedding website. Highly recommend these two if you’re looking for talented photographers who truly bring your vision to life!

"When we opened our gallery, our jaws literally dropped."
