It’s been a while since I did an in-home session, but this one was a favorite. I love going into old city homes. On thing about old homes, in general, is that the rooms are usually small. Not only small rooms but often times they have lots of windows, which is fantastic for in-home sessions. The challenge of small spaces brings me joy. I’m not exactly sure why that brings me joy, maybe because it forces me to be more creative with my photos.

A front porch with a swing? That’s a must use! Is there a neighbor’s trash can in the background? No problem. We can use camera angles to help us capture a beautiful image without actually moving the neighbor’s things.

Moving inside the home, I encourage families to play together. What do you as a family do together? Do you read books, bake, sing with an instrument? Whatever it is, lets do that and document it!

This home was a photographer’s dream with it’s light colored walls, warm wood floors, light colored rugs, and large windows.

We ended the session by stepping out back and doing some back porch photos. I love that in this session we had four different locations that we used, all in the home!

We were almost at the one hour mark, so it’s time to wrap it up, but first we need to grab some shots of just mom and dad. Back inside we go…

I love to grab some shots of just mom and dad. What a fun session this was! I loved meeting AJ, Jenna and Everett. Thanks for inviting me into your space and allowing me to capture these moments.
