Families at home – kids are comfortable, the setting is special and there are endless options to capture your family being you. There doesn’t have to be a special occasion for photos. The memories we make at home as a family everyday are special. They are worth documenting. This family is old neighbors and special […]

After shooting film for about eight months and trying it out for my I Am Project, a studio newborn session and one outdoor session, I wanted to try a family session on film at their home. However, there are so many factors with film that made an at home session seem very risky. Challenges with […]

The holiday break was a relaxed couple of weeks with the weather being surprisingly warm, even for Texas. We played with our new toys, rode bikes and hiked a trail where some of the trees and a bench were festively decorated! I prefer shooting outdoors, but pushed myself to practice shooting film indoors over the […]

I did manage to capture my first (somewhat decent) double exposure of my daughter with some flowers when were out location scouting for a family session one day. I love […]
