This family session at Loch Raven Reservoir in Baltimore County might be my favorite family session yet. We decided to shoot only film, leaving space for all the imperfect moments that happen with little ones, and yet the images turned out more perfect than I could have ever imagined.

Film Family Photography at Loch Raven Reservoir

Little E & B were the stars of this shoot, and they had so much fun running through the forest and climbing on logs. They observed the geese carefully as the sun set and had so many questions for me about my film cameras. Mom and Dad were patient and prioritized getting authentic photos over posed ones - something I deeply appreciate as a photographer and mother. We had such a fun evening and I’m so glad I could document this time for their family.

Loch Raven Reservoir is one of my favorite spots for family sessions, especially during fall. The trees show a beautiful display of colors, and the beach is the perfect spot to capture the sunset. The area is full of wildlife and generally not crowded, making it a great place to let the kids get some energy out.

If you’re looking for some perfectly imperfect photos of you and your family, please reach out! I’d love to capture your family on film.
