This adorably sweet trio has been welcoming me into their West Philadelphia home for documentary family photo sessions for a few years now, and I’ve loved getting to know them. The center of our session this time around was undoubtedly the simplicity of playing and connecting with their incredible kiddo — following his lead for records, reading, and snuggling when he wanted to. It’s been so fun getting to see how his personality and interests have evolved over time, and I’m sure my eyes lit up in a huge way when mom asked him, “What do you want to read? Your feminist trailblazer book?” Um, yes, pleaseeee!

Thank you to this wonderful family for trusting me with capturing the importance of these everyday at moments at home ….
