Photographing C & G and their parents was such a joy. This session is a beautiful reminder that you don’t need an occasion to take family photos. Your family in any stage is worth documenting.

In-Home Baltimore Family Session

My favorite part of in-home family sessions is getting to photograph children and parents in their natural state. Seeing the way that siblings interact with each other and how parents play with their children is a beautiful thing to witness. This session with C & G was a great example of a family who allowed me to come into their life for a day and capture it honestly. From reading books to jumping on the bed to playing on the swing set - these moments are what a real day in their life looks like, not something that we posed and put together. While this might not be how everyone prefers their family photos, I’m drawn to the authenticity time and time again. So often we see parents trying to get their kids to smile for a posed photo, but what if we just let them do what they love and photograph the joy on their faces as they do it? Parenthood isn’t always glamorous, and I don’t portray it that way. I want you to have photos to look back on that transport you to this time in your life, not just a pretty picture to hang on your wall. After all, these are the types of photos from my own childhood that I love the most.

I had so much fun during this session and I’m so proud of the art we created together.
