What if I told you that we can make beautiful, meaningful photographs in the comfort of your home, no matter where you live? That you can drink your coffee during our time together and that your kids can even stay in their pajamas if you want them to? What if I told you that I’ll encourage you to leave the Lego creations and unfinished art projects out, that you don’t need to clean before I come? What if I told you that I don’t even need all of you to look at the camera at the same time?

After all, a journalistic approach to in-home photography is meant to capture a bit of your real — moving through a part of your day with the people you love, in the place that holds all of you together. When your kids are grownups they’ll love looking back through an album filled with photos that highlight the details of where they lived and who they lived there with.

Doing this in-home session with the Allmond family was nothing short of this type of ordinary, everyday magic. I loved having them in front of my camera, documenting a bit of their home life — breakfast, jam session, snuggling. Such a great morning with this adorably fun crew. Thank you, Allmonds for trusting me to spend time with you!
