When most people think of a family photo sessions, they imagine coordinating outfits at the beach or trying to get toddlers to smile in the middle of a crowded park. Don’t get me wrong – I’ve done some wonderful shoots in beautiful spots across Los Angeles. But here’s a little secret: the most meaningful, relaxed, and real family photos often happen at home.
As a documentary-style photographer, I’m all about capturing what’s real and telling your story. There’s no better place to do that than in the space where your life actually happens.
Comfort Creates Connection
Home is where your kids feel safe being exactly who they are. It’s where they play, eat, melt down, and snuggle. That comfort shows up in your photos – no forced smiles or awkward posing, just authentic moments of connection. I want to see their faces light up when they show me their favorite toys! And you’ll be more at ease too. When you’re not worrying about parking, crowds, or managing everyone in public, you can just enjoy the time with your people.
The House Tells Its Own Story
Your home is more than just a backdrop—it’s part of your family’s story. The crayon drawings taped to the fridge, the favorite chair everyone fights over, the backyard where your baby took their first steps. These details might feel ordinary now, but someday they’ll be the things you miss most.
At-home family sessions preserves not just how your family looks, but what life feels like right now.
No Need to Chase the Weather
One of the perks of staying home? We’re not dependent on “golden hour” or clear skies. Morning people? Let’s start early with pancakes and lively music! Nap schedules to work around? I get it – and we can make it work!
Indoor light can be soft and beautiful, especially when it’s paired with natural emotion and a documentary approach. If the weather is nice and you have a yard you want to show off, we can shoot outdoors too. (And where else can you get a shot like this?!)
Photos That Actually Feel Like You
Every family is different – and your photos should reflect that. At-home family sessions gives us space to lean into your real dynamic, whether that’s chaotic and playful, quiet and cuddly, or somewhere in between. And if you have a pet, they can participate in the session too!
My goal is to create images that feel like your life, not like a traditional photo shoot. We’ll hang out, follow the rhythm of your day, and I’ll document what unfolds.
What to Expect
Before the session, I’ll guide you through how to prepare – don’t worry, your home doesn’t need to be spotless. I’ll share tips on choosing simple outfits, finding good light, and how to embrace whatever happens. We can even brainstorm some fun activities that you would be doing anyway and would photograph well. Sessions usually last 60–90 minutes and are relaxed, flexible, and fun (yes, really!).
You’ll receive a gallery of honest, beautiful images that reflect your family as they truly are.
