There’s a natural transition in childhood that every parent recognizes – the shift from the “playground years” to what I’ve come to know as the “fort years.” I remember when my daughter Nova was younger, another parent shared this observation with me, and it resonated deeply. As a family photographer in [Location], I’ve witnessed this evolution countless times through my lens.

The Comfort of Home: A Natural Stage in Childhood

While Nova and I have always been outdoor adventurers, I’ve recently noticed her finding joy in the simple comfort of being home. There’s something magical about watching children nest in their natural environment, building blanket forts, and creating their own cozy spaces. It’s this understanding that has shaped how I approach family photography sessions.

Why In-Home Sessions Matter for Authentic Family Photography

This is precisely why my 2025 Full Circle Photography Package begins with an in-home session. Your home isn’t just a backdrop – it’s where your family’s story unfolds every day. Starting our journey together in your space allows your children to feel completely at ease with my presence. By the time we venture out for our Spring adventure session, we’re already comfortable friends.

Capturing Real Family Moments: Beyond the Perfect Pose

Let’s be honest – parenting is beautifully messy. One moment everything is golden, and the next, you’re weathering a storm. As you grow into your parenting journey, you learn to embrace both these moments with equal grace. As your photographer, I’m there to document it all – the chaos, the calm, and everything in between.

The Truth About “Perfect” Family Photos

You know those “perfect” family photos where everyone is sitting still, smiling directly at the camera? I’ll let you in on a secret – they might be more Photoshop than reality. In my experience, families – especially children – are constantly in motion. And that’s exactly how it should be!

My Approach to Family Photography

Instead of asking your child to “sit still and smile,” I might suggest:

• Flying like birds together
• Building a blanket fort
• Sharing their favorite toys
• Dancing in the living room
• Creating magical moments in their own space
