and why we do it!
What we do
The Black Family Photo Album is on a mission to document the rich history and enduring legacy of Black families across generations.
Generations Sessions capture the beauty, strength, and connections that define your family story.
We believe every Black family has a story worth preserving. Through professional photography and film, we create timeless portraits that honor your family's journey and become treasured heirlooms for future generations.
Heartfelt Portraits & Films
for Black Families Worldwide
During film sessions, we'll interview 2-3 family members sharing stories as they comb through family photos and albums.
Share your stories
We want to capture the authentic connections between mothers and daughters, pop pops and grandchildren, aunties and uncles. Families typically plan an activity and spend time laughing, interacting, and just having fun.
It's a blessing to have multiple generations of your family alive at one time. Through your experience with The Black Family Photo Album, we'll bring together the youngest and the eldest to share wisdom and unearth the stories you want future generations to remember.

The gathering of family is sacred. Whether it be for the holidays, the family reunion, or Sunday afternoons- coming together is a a time to build bonds and create lasting memories.
02 — We believe that Black people across the African Diaspora are intimately connected. So many of our ties show up in the way we come together within our families.
The wisdom of elder generations is a precious gift to be preserved and passed down.

Our Values
What we believe
As a child, I treasured Sunday afternoons in my father's kitchen, where he'd prepare spicy dishes from Sierra Leone while sharing stories of his childhood in Freetown. When the stories deepened, he'd bring out old photo albums filled with tattered black and white portraits. I was amazed to see pieces of myself in these faces—my eyes, my nose, my smile. Through handwritten names and dates, these strangers became my people.

These family stories and photos create bridges between past and present, laying foundations for the future. I created The Black Family Photo Album to help Black families intentionally preserve these connections across generations.
I want to capture your mother with her grandbabies, record your grandfather sharing life stories on film, and preserve the voices, laughter, and memories that define your family. My hope is that these photos and films will not only bring your family together today but build bridges to future generations, ensuring they know the full richness of their heritage.
