home sweet home.

There is a unique beauty with in-home photo sessions.  One that can’t be recreated.  I am not saying that I don’t love my sessions that take place out and about, because I absolutely do, but there is a natural and relaxed comfort and joy that is inherently present during an in-home session.  And please just look at the way baby girl smiles up at Dad… heart. melting.

When Mom approached me and said she wanted this almost 1 year old’s session to take place in her home, I was absolutely thrilled to make it happen.   And, as you can see from the following images, we were able to create memories in multiple rooms, doing a variety of activities (including a cake smash and a dip in the backyard pool), and quite a few wardrobe changes-  this can quite obviously be a challenge out of the home!   So, in case you can’t tell, I am a huge fan of these in-home sessions… I feel like we were able to capture this family doing what they love to do, in a place they love to do it.

Once the weather drops (which I fear is coming soon),  you most certainly do NOT have to wait until next spring for an outdoor session.   Take a peek at some of these images.   The black and white is just so classic and timeless and goes so well with this gorgeous and fun family.

I couldn’t possibly share all of these images in just black & white.   There was way too much color and vibrancy present in this shoot… so here you go- a few more in color!  I love when some of my favorite images take place in the most obscure places.  That one of Mom down below holding baby girl, against that beautiful blue wall-  in the shower!

Remember that cake smash I told you about?  Here are a few of those images too!

Alright, if you are still with me, you can’t leave now… Here are just a few of the shots from the backyard pool.  I love that Mom and Dad were totally game for throwing on suits and heading outside.   And, while you absolutely don’t NEED a pool for your in-home session, I sure am glad they had one, because these are definitely some of my favs!

Thanks so much for choosing me to photograph your beautiful family!  I hope baby girl had a happy 1st birthday celebration, and I can’t wait to continue to watch her grow!
